The Royal Family is gearing up for a star-spangled trip to the US to celebrate America’s 250th birthday next year – but California-based Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are set to be left out in the cold<\/a> , multiple sources have told US celebrity news site Page Six.<\/p>\n Prince William<\/a> and Kate Middleton are expected to join in the historic celebrations in July 2026 to commemorate the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence<\/a> , marking a momentous occasion for both nations.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, King Charles and Queen Camilla have been invited to Washington, DC for a State Visit in April by President Trump – if the 77-year-old monarch’s health allows him to make the journey, officials revealed to Page Six.<\/p>\n “We’re hoping all the senior royals will come over,” said a well-placed source. “This is going to be a huge year for both the US and the UK.”<\/p>\n The King, who recently celebrated his 77th birthday, was honored at a lavish bash in New York City last week, organized by the British consulate. The event, hosted by JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon at the bank’s swanky new midtown headquarters, was abuzz with talk of the upcoming 250th anniversary plans.<\/p>\n However, Montecito-based Harry and Meghan won’t be on the guest list, as the source confirmed: “Obviously the Duke and Duchess of Sussex aren’t working royals, so they will not be invited to any celebrations.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Despite their non-working status, the celebrity couple continue to make the most of their royal titles, as evidenced in a recent profile of Markle when she was announced by a house manager as “Meghan, Duchess of Sussex” to a journalist interviewing her for Harper’s Bazaar.<\/p>\n The rift between Harry, 41, and his older brother William remains deep, with the pair not having spoken in over two years.<\/p>\n Although Harry has expressed his desire for a reconciliation with his family, telling the BBC<\/a> he did not want to fight any more as he was uncertain how much longer his father had, the damage caused by his and Meghan’s bombshell interviews, reality TV show, and tell-all autobiography has left the royals unable to trust them enough to welcome them back into the fold.<\/p>\n President Trump, meanwhile, has made no secret of his disdain for Harry and Meghan. When asked about potentially deporting Harry over his admitted drug use, Trump previously quipped, “I’ll leave him alone. He’s got enough problems with his wife. She’s terrible.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\nMonarch feted at NYC birthday bash amid 250th anniversary buzz<\/strong><\/h3>\n
