Met Gala Absence: Meghan Markle and Prince Harry Snubbed Again?

The annual Met Gala is renowned for its extravagant outfits and unique themes, making it one of the most anticipated events of the year.

In 1996, even Princess Diana graced the occasion with her presence.

However, this year, fans couldn't help but notice the absence of Meghan Markle and Prince Harry.

Despite their move to America almost two years ago, the couple did not make an appearance at the Met Gala.

Speculation arose as to whether they were invited in the first place.

Rumors circulated last year that Meghan had received an invite from Anna Wintour, the editor-in-chief of Vogue.

However, these rumors were later debunked.

It remains unclear whether the Duke and Duchess of Sussex were extended an invitation this year.

While fans eagerly awaited their attendance, it seems that Meghan and Harry had other plans.

Instead, all eyes were on Brooklyn Beckham and Nicola Peltz, who made their debut as a married couple at the Met Gala.

The pair, who tied the knot in a lavish ceremony at the Peltz family's Palm Beach estate, shared their excitement about married life.

“Marrying your best mate, it's the best,” Beckham expressed, while Peltz added, “We feel like we're on a play date forever.”

Interestingly, it was revealed that Meghan and Harry were not invited to Brooklyn's wedding either.

David Beckham and Victoria Beckham chose Prince William and Kate Middleton over the Sussexes to join them in Miami for the million-dollar celebration.

A source close to the Beckhams explained that the decision was based on their long-standing relationship with William and Kate.

It was never about Meghan and Harry; their attachment lies with the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge.

This snub may not come as a surprise, as Harry and Meghan have been accused of becoming increasingly reclusive since their move to the US.

They seem to have distanced themselves from the celebrity circle, lacking the social connections they once had.

This is not the first time the couple has been left off important guest lists since their relocation.

Elsa, a royal commentator, noted that earlier this year, there were rumors of Harry and/or Meghan presenting an award at the Oscars, which did not materialize.

They were also absent from the Met Gala in New York and President Barack Obama's 60th birthday celebration on Martha's Vineyard.

Elsa believes that the Sussexes are intentionally opting out of major events for a quieter night in.

It is worth mentioning that while British royals are generally not known for attending such extravagant events, there have been exceptions.

Princess Diana made a memorable appearance at the Met Gala in 1996, stunning everyone with her Dior slip dress.

Princess Beatrice also surprised many when she graced the event in 2018, donning a striking purple gown designed by Alberto Ferretti.

The absence of Meghan Markle and Prince Harry at the Met Gala has sparked intrigue and speculation.

Whether it is a deliberate choice on their part to maintain a more private lifestyle or a result of not receiving invitations, their absence continues to captivate public attention.

As they navigate their new lives away from the royal spotlight, it remains to be seen how they will choose to engage with high-profile events in the future.
