Prince Harry and Meghan have had their invite removed for a state reception held by the King for world leaders and dignitaries on Sunday, it is reported.
There has seemingly been plenty of confusion over whether Harry would be allowed to wear military uniform for a vigil to the Queen as he is no longer a working royal since moving with his family to the United States.
And now it appears as though the Sussexes were originally given an invite earlier this week for a state reception at Buckingham Palace - before it was taken away.
Around 500 world leaders and dignitaries are going to be attending the Queen’s funeral on Monday and they have been invited to the event hosted by King Charles which will be one of the largest gatherings of heads of state in recent times.
It has led to a major security operation taking place in London with US President Joe Biden among the attendees at the funeral while the general public are also flocking to the city to pay their respects.
But while Harry will be at the vigil in his military uniform he will not be at the state reception with Buckingham Palace officials having insisted it is only for working members of the Royal Family, reported the Telegraph.
Those who are on the guest list have been told the event, in the Picture Gallery and State Rooms of Buckingham Palace, is lounge suits.
It will be a reception for the VIPs to mourn the passing of the Queen rather than celebrating Charles as the new King.
A spokesman for The King said: “This is one of the last moments for Her Majesty the Queen as opposed to the first for His Majesty.”
The Queen's grandchildren will stand guard around her coffin in London on Saturday, hours after their parents held an emotional vigil in the Palace of Westminster.
Notably, the Duke of Sussex will join his brother the Prince of Wales in wearing uniform around the coffin in Westminster Hall.
Harry, who saw action on the front line during two tours of duty in Afghanistan, has previously been denied the chance to wear his military uniform as he publicly mourns, because he is no longer a working royal.
But royal sources say the King has decided his youngest son can wear uniform for the vigil, saying he will stand at the foot of the coffin, with William at the head.
