‘Racist divider’: King slammed over ‘uninviting’ Harry & Meghan

Twitter users have reacted to reports that state Prince Harry and his wife Meghan Markle have been uninvited to Queen Elizabeth II’s pre-funeral reception at the palace – on Friday 16 September.

PRINCE HARRY AND MEGHAN UNINVITED FROM PRE-FUNERAL RECEPTION

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have been uninvited from the pre-funeral reception at Buckingham Palace. The couple received an invite from hosts King Charles III and Queen Consort Camilla for world leaders and foreign royals.

However, Telegraph reported that they were informed that only working royals are welcome. The publication reports that it is unclear why the pair were initially invited but they “appeared baffled” at the mix-up. 

This follows the confusion of Prince Harry being able to wear his military uniform. King Charles III ultimately granted his son permission to wear his military uniform during a Saturday night vigil for the late Queen.

TWEEPS WEIGH IN 

Twitter users slammed King Charles III over Harry and Meghan being uninvited to the pre-funeral reception. Many have also claimed this was racism. Meghan is mixed race – her mom is African American and her dad is caucasian.

“The way the British monarchy, media and public continue to treat Megan Markle is truly disturbing. They continue to show their abject racism. This woman hasn’t done anything wrong to you y’all. Her only crime is that is she a divorced half black woman,” wrote @politicalplayer.

“Charles threw a tantrum when he realized the people loved Diana more than him & gave her lots of press. Now he’s punishing his son for the same thing. Harry was close with his grandmother. This is all just so cruel & petty,” wrote @annemargaretj.

“The surviving members of the monarchy seem incredibly petty. I am so glad for Harry & Meghan that when their duties are done they escape back to California,” wrote @IgorLetLoose.
