Prince Harry and Meghan Markle Given Harsh Nickname By Former Friends

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle haven’t lived in the United Kingdom in several years, but the controversy between the Sussexes and the royal family has led former friends to give them a nickname.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle moved to the United States back in 2020, and they have been building a new life for themselves ever since. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have seldom returned to Harry’s home country; they haven’t gone back together since 2022.

Now, rumor has it that some of the couple’s former friends have given them a very specific nickname — and it pertains to their drama with the royal family.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s former friends called them ‘The Uninvitables’

Harry and Meghan left the UK and seemingly never looked back. Although Harry has returned to the UK a handful of times, he hardly spends any time with his family and has opted out of a number of events hosted by his friends. Most recently, Harry chose not to attend the wedding of Hugh Grosvenor, who is one of Harry’s longtime friends, supposedly because his brother, Prince William, was planning to attend.

Now, though, rumor has it that Harry and Meghan are earning an unwanted nickname for themselves. “Harry and Meghan are being left off guest lists for friend’s weddings and other events due to their estrangement from the royal family,” a source told Express. “There is genuine fear that if the Sussexes are invited to a wedding or a christening, it could leave that family excluded from the social circuit which would be one of the biggest faux pas imaginable.”

In essence, people are worried that if they’re too close with Harry and Meghan, they’ll be theoretically barred from Britain’s high society. “They are being called ‘the uninvitables’ by friends,” the source added. Harry has expressed a desire to return to the United Kingdom in some capacity, but he claims that his security concerns have prevented him from coming back.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle say they are ‘really happy’ in the United States

Harry and Meghan have certainly been building a new kind of life for themselves in the US, though they seem to be doing alright. Harry and Meghan have two children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, whom they are raising in California. During the couple’s May 2024 trip to Nigeria, Meghan told reporters that she is “really happy” with their life.

Harry and Meghan have some loyal friends over here and plenty of help from Harry’s mother, Doria Ragland, but the two are still finding their footing when it comes to businesses. Meghan is in the midst of launching her new American Riviera Orchard brand, while Harry maintains focused on his Invictus Games. However, Harry has recently hit a few snags between his Pat Tillman award controversy and his CEO of the Invictus Games Foundation recently stepping down.
