While the royal family gathered on Buckingham Palace's balcony for Trooping the Colour, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle spent the weekend in markedly different settings across the United States. Meghan hosted a private game night with friends at the couple's Montecito home, while Harry made a rare solo public appearance in Texas.
Their absence from Trooping the Colour was hardly unexpected given the ongoing estrangement between the Sussexes and the royal family. Still, public interest remained high, with many eager to know how the Duke and Duchess of Sussex spent the annual royal occasion they once attended as senior working royals.
