Meghan Markle and Prince Harry found themselves absent from King Charles’ birthday parade, marking the third consecutive year of their exclusion. The last time the Duke and Duchess of Sussex participated in the Trooping the Colour was in 2022, but even then, they remained out of the public eye. Recently, Prince Harry disclosed that his father, King Charles, is not communicating with him amid their ongoing tensions and legal disputes over security arrangements.
This absence comes on the heels of a series of interactions that highlight the strained relationship between Harry and Charles. Harry has been vocal about the lack of communication with his father, emphasizing that King Charles is not speaking to him at present. Despite these challenges, Harry has consistently shared his desire for a reconciliation with his father.
