This marks the second consecutive year that the couple has been excluded from the event.

After their departure from the Royal family, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s status has been a topic of discussion.

Additionally, Harry could potentially lose his titles if he obtains US citizenship, which would require him to renounce allegiance to any foreign sovereign. While Meghan would lose her ‘Duchess of Sussex’ title, she would retain the title of ‘Princess Henry’ as Harry’s wife. Despite losing their ‘Duke and Duchess’ titles, Meghan and Harry have continued to use their royal influence in business ventures and public appearances.
