Meghan Markle was seen gently guiding Prince Harry at a public event last November, a gesture that has sparked discussion among royal observers. The couple attended the opening of the West Coast Warrior Fitness Programme at the United States Navy SEALs in San Diego, where Meghan appeared fully engaged while Harry seemed distracted.
Body language experts noted that Meghan had to pull Harry forward to watch Foundation CEO Robin King cut the ribbon. The couple later waved to the crowd and toured the facility, meeting veterans. Despite Harry's passion for such events, given his two tours in Afghanistan, his distraction was reportedly linked to being snubbed from King Charles's 75th birthday celebrations.
The birthday party was held at Clarence House, attended by the King's closest friends and family. Reports claimed Harry and Meghan were not invited, though a spokesperson for the couple denied this, stating, 'There has been no contact regarding an invitation to His Majesty’s upcoming birthday.' The Sunday Times had previously reported that the couple declined an invitation.
King Charles spent his birthday opening two Coronation Hub food banks. Harry did not travel to the UK but is believed to have had a phone call with his father, likely including his children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet. Prince William wished his father a happy birthday in person and on social media.
