Meghan Markle made the decision to cut ties with Britain due to a “huge rift” between the SusđâŻđes and the Royal Family, a royal commentator believes.
The Duchess of SusđâŻđ, 42, did not travel with her husband Prince Harry when he visited the UK earlier this month to mark the 10th anniversary of the Invictus Games.
The youngest son of the King made a speech at St Paul’s Cathedral to hail the achievements of the competition he started for wounded servicemen and women when he was a working royal in 2014.
But none of the Royal Family attended the event, with relations reportedly strained between Prince Harry and King Charles and Prince William following the publication of his tell-all memoirs and appearance in a Netflix documentary.

Meghan Markle also did not fly to the UK with her husband, and royal commentator Richard Fitzwilliams told GB News that the mum-of-two chose to stay away due to her poor approval rating in the country and the “rift” between the SusđâŻđes and the Royal Family.

He said: “It was not a question of supporting him [Harry], she [Meghan] was not coming here because her ratings in the polls are terrible.
“The Royal Family has this huge rift, so there are all sorts of reasons why she chose to stay away.
“It made total sense not to accompany Harry to St Paul’s Cathedral, it would have been unthinkable a few years ago that this would happen but it has.”
Despite not making an appearance with Harry, his wife did fly to Heathrow to make a transfer onto a jet bound for the Nigeria where the couple enjoyed a successful royal-like tour.
