Prince Harry and Meghan Markle to attend Princess Beatrice’s wedding despite ‘snub’ reports

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are set to attend Princess Beatrice’s wedding – despite reports they may “snub” the nuptials.

Princess Beatrice and her fiancé Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi are set to say ‘I do’ on May 29, a little more than two years after the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.

And despite reports claiming Meghan and Harry – who are currently living in Canada – may “snub” the wedding, sources told Page Six that isn’t the case and that they will be flying back to the UK for the wedding.

It comes a few days after Meghan Markle and Prince Harry issued a statement detailing their ‘transition period’ as they get ready to step back as senior members of the royal family.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex issued the update on their website on Friday, and it including everything from their plan to launch a non-profit to the use of the word ‘royal’ in their plans.

“It is agreed that the commencement of the revised role of The Duke and Duchess of Sussex will take effect Spring 2020 and undergo a 12 month review,” the update began, before confirming that the couple will become privately-funded members of the royal family.

They will have permission to earn their own income and to pursue their own charitable interests.

“The preference of The Duke and Duchess of Sussex was to continue to represent and support Her Majesty The Queen albeit in a more limited capacity, while not drawing on theSovereign Grant,” they explained.

“While there is precedent for other titled members of the Royal Family to seek employment outside of the institution, for The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, a 12-month review period has been put in place,” the update continued.
