During an episode of Mail+'s Palace Confidential, royal commentator Richard Eden highlighted the significance of Harry and Meghan not receiving invitations to events like Trooping the Colour. Eden remarked, "When Harry and Meghan quit royal duties, officials were very keen to stress that they would still be invited to occasions such as Trooping the Colour, so the fact that they haven't been invited is very significant."
Eden further expressed his belief that this absence of invitations indicates that Harry and Meghan are now experiencing a true state of exile. This sentiment was echoed by Rebecca English, the Royal Editor of the Daily Mail, who noted the "slightly rootless nature" Harry now experiences in the UK.
English further revealed that conversations with various sources have led her to believe that Meghan's return to the UK is highly unlikely. However, she acknowledged that Harry might need to come back for practical reasons.
As the couple navigates their new reality, they face the challenges of establishing a self-sufficient life and adapting to a world where they are no longer part of the royal fold. The path ahead appears to be one of self-reliance, where they must overcome the practical and emotional obstacles associated with their exile.
