Coincidentally, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle—who, as you likely well know, now reside in Montecito, California—just so happened to be in Europe undertaking a number of engagements when Her late Majesty Queen Elizabeth passed away, rather quickly and unexpectedly, at 96 years old last September 8. Once again, Harry and Meghan will be on Harry’s home continent for work right around that time, as the latest iteration of Harry’s Invictus Games kick off in Germany on September 9. Will the Sussexes swing through the U.K. in the days prior to mark the anniversary of the late Queen’s passing with the rest of the royal family?
Royal expert Gareth Russell doesn’t think so, Us Weekly reports. “We don’t know if the invitation was sent out,” he said. “I would be quite surprised if [Harry and Meghan] would’ve accepted it. We know they had declined the invitation [to visit] when Elizabeth was still alive. So I can’t imagine them saying yes to an invitation now for no other reason than nothing really has changed in the dynamic in this family.”
