Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are not invited to King Charles\u2019 annual Trooping the Colour being held on Saturday, June 14, according to People<\/a>.<\/p>\n This marks the third year in a row that the couple has been left out of the ceremonial event amid their ongoing feud with the royal family.<\/p>\n Meghan Markle and Prince Harry were reportedly not invited to King Charles\u2019 annual Trooping the Colour ceremony this weekend for the third year in a row. Getty Images<\/p>\n Held every June to celebrate the official birthday of the British sovereign, Trooping the Colour is considered one of the royal family\u2019s most high-profile annual events. Getty Images<\/p>\n The last time Markle, 43, and Harry, 40, attended the military parade was when they celebrated Queen Elizabeth\u2019s Platinum Jubilee<\/a> in 2022. But even then, they were forced to watch from a separate balcony alongside other non-working royals.<\/p>\n Following Queen Elizabeth\u2019s death<\/a> in September 2022 and Charles\u2019 ascension to the throne<\/a>, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex stopped being invited to Trooping the Colour altogether.<\/p>\n \u201cThis is the first year of his life that Harry hasn\u2019t been invited at all,\u201d palace insider Richard Eden noted<\/a> in 2023. \u201cWith\u00a0Harry and Meghan, we\u2019ve always had a sort of \u2018will they, won\u2019t they\u2019 before every big royal occasion.\u201d<\/p>\n The Duke and Duchess of Sussex stopped getting invited to Trooping the Colour following Queen Elizabeth\u2019s death and King Charles\u2019 ascension to the throne.
