Trooping the Colour, the beloved celebration of the British monarch's birthday, is fast approaching.
However, this year's event will deviate from tradition as Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have not received an invitation to the parade on June 17th.
The absence of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex underscores the growing divide between them and the royal family.
The Daily Mail reports that Queen Elizabeth II had extended an invitation to the couple for the 2022 Trooping the Colour ceremony.
Sadly, the Queen passed away in September of that year.
Therefore, the exclusion of Harry and Meghan from this year's celebration serves as a stark reminder of the strained relations within the royal family.
Trooping the Colour holds significant historical importance, originating in 1748 during the reign of King George II of Hanover.
It was established as a military parade to commemorate the sovereign's birthday, with the name referring to the marching of line infantry battalions around their colors.

Throughout the 20th century, Queen Elizabeth II faithfully attended Trooping the Colour, except for 1955 due to a rail strike.
The event served as a cherished occasion that brought the royal family together, symbolizing their unity and solidarity.
However, Prince Harry's absence this year serves as a poignant reminder of the strained relations between him and the rest of the family.
Recent events have shed light on the growing rift between Harry and his brother, Prince William, as well as the wider royal family.
During the court case against Mirror Group newspapers, Harry appeared isolated with no contact with his brother or father, according to the Daily Mail.
The exclusion from Trooping the Colour further confirms the strained state of their relations at present.
The decision to exclude Harry and Meghan from the ceremony has sparked shock and disappointment among the British public.
Trooping the Colour is an event deeply cherished by the people, and anticipation builds each year as mid-June approaches.
