Meghan Markle 'crushed' not to be invited to Barack Obama's 60th birthday party says Royal expert

Absence doesn’t always make the heart grow fonder. Royal family members were "quietly pleased" that Meghan Markle did not fly to Britain with husband Prince Harry to attend Prince Philip’s funeral service, according to a new chapter in the ex-royals’ biography, "Finding Freedom" (via the Independent).

Mending fences! Prince Harry and Prince William are growing closer despite the miles of distance between them, and according to royal expert Stewart Pearce, so are Meghan Markle and Duchess Kate.

Nick Bullen believes there are many lessons Prince Harry can learn from his great-great-uncle Edward VIII. Queen Elizabeth II’s uncle had been coronated King Edward VIII before he famously abdicated the throne in 1936 to marry American divorcee Wallis Simpson.The couple was cut off from the monarchy following the abdication.

Prince Harry, 36, and Meghan Markle, 40, have spoken out in a lengthy message of support amidst several world crises. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex released a joint statement via their Archewell Foundation and addressed the Taliban takeover in Afghanistan, the devastating 7.2 magnitude earthquake that hit Haiti, and the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. “The world is exceptionally fragile right now,” the couple said in their statement, which was shared on Tuesday, Aug. 17.

Prince Harry and his wife Meghan Markle will christen their newborn baby daughter Lilibet in a private ceremony in California, a royal expert has claimed. Richard Fitzwilliam has shared his belief that the pair will "do things their own way" in a bid to not make the same mistakes they did with their firstborn child, son Archie, now two.

Meghan Markle has "left behind her a trail of devastation" for both her family and the Royal family, an expert has claimed.The Duchess of Sussex, 40, was branded a liar by her dad Thomas Markle in a scathing TV interview on Friday 13 August. Meghan's dad claimed the mum-of-two wasn't telling the truth in her bombshell interview with Oprah Winfrey, which aired earlier this year.

As you probably know by now, the Obama family threw the biggest birthday bash of the summer, which boasted a guest list filled with celebrity A-listers, including George Clooney, Chrissy Teigen, Gabrielle Union, and Beyoncé. But noticeably absent from Martha’s Vineyard over the weekend were Meghan Markle and Prince Harry.

She missed the mark-le. Barack Obama’s recent Martha’s Vineyard 60th birthday bash boasted an A-list guest list, and according to one author, Meghan Markle is upset she didn’t make the cut.

It seems like everyone and their mother attended the former President’s 60th birthday bash…except for the Sussexes! Now, there are already few theories as to why Meghan Markle and Prince Harry weren’t at Barack Obama’s birthday celebration—but we’ll let you decide which makes the most sense.
