Invitation sent to Harry, Meghan for state reception cancelled

GBNEWS24DESK//

here has seemingly been plenty of confusion over whether Harry would be allowed to wear military uniform for a vigil to the Queen as he is no longer a working royal since moving with his family to the United States.

And now it appears as though the Sussexes were originally given an invite earlier this week for a state reception at Buckingham Palace – before it was taken away.

Around 500 world leaders and dignitaries are going to be attending the Queen’s funeral on Monday and they have been invited to the event hosted by King Charles which will be one of the largest gatherings of heads of state in recent times, reports Mirror UK.

It has led to a major security operation taking place in London with US President Joe Biden among the attendees at the funeral while the general public are also flocking to the city to pay their respects.

But while Harry will be at the vigil in his military uniform he will not be at the state reception with Buckingham Palace officials having insisted it is only for working members of the Royal Family, reported the Telegraph.

Those who are on the guest list have been told the event, in the Picture Gallery and State Rooms of Buckingham Palace, is lounge suits.

It will be a reception for the VIPs to mourn the passing of the Queen rather than celebrating Charles as the new King.
