Prince Harry, Meghan Markle Uninvited to State Reception at Buckingham Palace After Being Told It Was for Working Royals Only

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were not invited to a state reception that will be held for world leaders and foreign royals at Buckingham Palace.

Daily Mail reported that it was believed that the couple received an invitation to the event earlier in the week. It will be hosted by King Charles III and his wife Camilla.

However, officials at Buckingham Palace insisted that the state reception was for working royals only, which would imply that the Sussex couple is unlikely to attend the event.

World leaders, ambassadors, and foreign royals will be attending a reception at the Palace. Among those who will greet the visitors will be Prince William and Kate Middleton.

It was not the only confusion that the Sussex couple faced regarding the funeral events, with Harry initially not being allowed to wear a military uniform.

Prince Harry Military Uniform at Queen's Funeral

King Charles has, later on, given his permission for his son Prince Harry to wear military uniforms during their vigil for Queen Elizabeth.

A Kensington Palace source noted in a Page Six report that Prince Harry and Prince Andrew will both be in uniform.

The Duke of Sussex had previously been banned from wearing his military uniform and was stripped of his military titles when he decided to quit royal life in 2020 and moved to California with Markle.

One source noted that it was a "ludicrous situation," with Harry having served in the army for 10 years, which included two active tours in Afghanistan.

He also created the Invictus Games, which is an international sporting event for wounded servicemen and women.

One source noted that Harry did not request the change in the decision, adding that he was "simply prepared to wear whatever his grandmother made plans for" and that the Duke of Sussex was focused on honoring her.

Queen Elizabeth Funeral

Prince Edward said that the royal family has been "overwhelmed by the tide of emotion" in light of the queen's death, as reported by NBC News. He then thanked people for their support, adding that his mother's memory should be "long cherished as the baton she carried for the past 70 years."

Meanwhile, a London Ambulance Service spokesperson noted that hundreds of people were treated by first responders as they lined up to see the queen's coffin. The spokesperson noted that they cared for 435 patients up until midnight and worked with their partners.

It was not immediately clear how many people were treated on Friday. The British government said that the line had to be paused for hours after reaching capacity.

The British government said that those looking to join the line will have to face a 24-hour wait while warning that temperatures overnight will be cold for those waiting in the line.

The government earlier advised the public not to join the waiting line until the pause has been resumed.
