However, the ongoing rift between Harry, Meghan, and the rest of the royals is likely the reason behind their potential absence.
According to reports, this has been a visibly challenging year for the Sussexes. A family friend noted, "You can read the room on that as to where things are between them. It's sad, but it is what it is. This is a family as well as an institution."
Earlier in May, during the coronation ceremony of King Charles, only Prince Harry attended, and he returned to America swiftly without participating in the family dinner.
There were noticeable cold vibes between Harry and other family members, as he was not seen interacting much with King Charles or his own brother, Prince William. Meghan also did not attend the ceremony, citing Archie's birthday on the same day.
Presently, the royal couple resides in Montecito, California, with their children, Archie and Lilibet. Reports suggest that Meghan is making efforts to revive and relaunch her Hollywood career following the termination of her million-dollar podcast deal with Spotify. In an attempt to be closer to Beverly Hills and Los Angeles, the couple is planning to move to Malibu.
