Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have chosen to skip the Duke of Westminster’s weddings as the Montecito couple set eyes on A-list Hollywood events, claimed a royal commentator.
In conversation with The Mirror, royal expert Richard Fitzwilliams said that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex aim to appear at such events where the focus is not entirely on them.
He said:
The challenge for Harry and Meghan is to attend comparable events in the United States which are not focused on them.
“The Met Gala and the Oscars are the sort of events they would benefit from being seen at, since they have pretensions to be A-listers. Barack Obama’s 60th, held in 2021, the year they were in Time Magazine’s Top 100, is the sort of event they would undoubtedly want to be seen at but were not invited to,” added Richard.
While addressing Harry and Meghan’s absence from the recent high-profile royal wedding, he said:
They also knew that their presence would cause a media storm, especially since Meghan has not visited Britain since Queen Elizabeth’s Funeral.
It is important to mention that Harry and Meghan stepped down from their royal duties in 2020. The pair left the UK and resides in the USA with their two children Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.
