Prince Harry and Meghan Markle allegedly declined an invitation to see Queen Elizabeth II twice before the monarch passed away in September. The claim was made by Vanity Fair’s royal correspondent Katie Nicholl, who has written a new book titled, "The New Royals: Queen Elizabeth’s Legacy and the Future of the Crown." In it, she details the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s exit from the British royal family and its lasting impact on all sides. Nicholl alleged that the couple was first invited in summer 2019 to spend a long weekend at the queen’s beloved Balmoral estate in Scotland.
