The royal Easter bunny has all the time skipped a visit to Meghan Markle.
Even before Markle, 41, and Prince Harry, 38, broke with the royal family and moved to California, she never attended the normal Easter church outing.
In 2019, the family attended Easter services in Windsor Castle’s St. George’s Chapel — which Harry and Meghan had already chosen as their wedding venue. Nonetheless, the couple didn’t attend, regardless that Prince William and Kate Middleton did. On the time, Harry and Meghan were reportedly busy with engagements leading as much as their wedding day that May, and spent the vacation privately.
Markle’s first holiday with the royal family was Christmas of 2017, when she and Harry were newly engaged.
“I remember so vividly the primary Christmas at Sandringham,” she said within the Netflix docuseries “Harry & Meghan.”
“Calling my mom, and he or she’s like, ‘How’s it going?’ And I said, ‘Oh my gosh, it’s amazing. It’s similar to an enormous family like I all the time wanted.’ And there was just this constant movement and energy and fun.”
“The family loved having her there,” Harry told BBC Radio 4 on the time.
In 2019, when the couple was living at Frogmore Cottage, the Duchess of Sussex was far into her pregnancy with Prince Archie, so while Harry attended, Markle sat it out.
By 2020, the couple had stepped back from the royal family and absconded to California (plus, with the COVID-19 pandemic at its height, the family didn’t gather).
In 2021, the royals also didn’t embark on an enormous Easter celebration on account of the pandemic, and as an alternative the late Queen Elizabeth and her son, then-Prince Charles, took a stroll to mark the occasion.
Celebrations resumed last 12 months, but Harry and Markle were at Invictus Games in The Hague on the time.
Tensions have increased between the couple and the remainder of the royal family within the wake of Harry’s controversial book “Spare,” wherein he referred to William as his “arch-nemesis.”
“William is the one who’s most upset and wishes time to calm down,” a source told People, referring to his response to “Spare.”
All eyes are on King Charles’ coronation, which is scheduled for May 6. Nevertheless it hasn’t been confirmed yet whether Harry and Markle will attend.
“There have been lengthy discussions between the Sussexes and the palace; there’s a time crunch on this, after all,” an insider told Page Six.
“It’s such a historical event and it’s hoped that Harry and Meghan might be there.”
