Queen was ‘very much at peace at Balmoral’ says Phillips
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have reportedly not been invited to the Royal Family’s commemorations to mark the first anniversary of the death of Queen Elizabeth II.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are said to have been left off the guest list despite being in Europe to visit Dusseldorf in Germany and open the Invictus Games a day later.
Insiders told The Sun there has been no contact from senior royals with the couple, who has been based in the US since stepping down from the Firm. A source told the publication: “There hasn’t been any outreach to them.”
King Charles and Queen Camilla are expected to mark the anniversary on September 8 at Balmoral with family.
A source said of the snub: “If they are not included in any of those plans they will find a way to mark the significance in their own way.”

The Sussexes have a strained relationship with the Royal Family and are “not expected” to join the King at Balmoral, a royal expert has claimed.
Royal expert Robert Jobson said: “[Harry and Meghan] have been given an ‘open invite’ to join family gatherings by the Palace, but no personal olive branch has been extended by the King for the summer getaway.”
A royal spokesman has said there will be no official public event to mark the anniversary, with the King expected to spend September 9, which is also his Accession Day “quietly and privately”.
The late Queen traditionally marked her own Accession Day and the death of her father King George VI at Sandringham.
