Royal snub: Kate WON’T meet Meghan Markle when she returns to UK

Kate Middleton will not be in the country to meet her sister-in-law Meghan Markle when she arrives back in the UK after her long stint in North America.

The Duchess of Sussex is expected to travel to Britain within the next 48 hours as she and Prince Harry are slated to attend the Endeavour Fund Awards on Thursday, March 5. 

However, Kate and her husband Prince William are currently on a royal tour of Ireland that kicked off on March 3 and will last until March 5, which means they won’t be in the country to greet Harry’s wife. 

The royal ‘fab four’ will however be reunited next week, as the Duke and Duchess of Sussex will join Queen Elizabeth, Prince William and Kate Middleton at the Commonwealth Day service on March 9 at Westminster Abbey. 

It’s the first time the couple will appear with the rest of the royals since their bombshell announcement that they were leaving the royal family in January. 

Harry and Meghan will step down from royal duties on March 31.

Royal fans will be able to watch the ceremony unfold as the Commonwealth Day service will be broadcast live on BBC One in the UK and across the BBC World Service.

Harry has been undertaking numerous engagements since he returned to the UK last week without his wife or son, Archie. 

On Friday, Harry teamed up with rock star Bon Jovi to raise funds for wounded servicemen and servicewomen in the Invictus Games. The pair met at Abbey Road Studios in London on Friday morning, where they recorded a rendition of ‘Unbroken’ alongside with the Invictus choir.

The brief video shows a nervous Prince Harry standing in front of a microphone with Bon Jovi listening carefully to the instructions given to him by the rock star.  

“The latest series of comments published on the Sussex’s website comes across as ­extremely petulant and has caused a great deal of alarm inside the palace.

“This is further evidence of Harry and Meghan further ostracising ­themselves from the family rather than building bridges.”
