Prince Harry and Meghan Markle Snubbed by Bafta Tea Party in Los Angeles
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, were reportedly snubbed by the biggest British showbiz knight in Hollywood at the Bafta tea party in Los Angeles on Saturday, January 14th.
The couple was not welcome amidst the fallout from his attacks on the royal family.
An executive claimed bosses in London rejected the idea of inviting the Suskses due to the publicity surrounding the controversial couple.
Bafta decided it was a terrible idea, according to the source.
They thought it would be a PR disaster.
Prince Harry and his book and docuseries have roundly attacked our royal family.

The US team was reminded that Harry's arch nemesis, his brother Prince William, is president of Bafta.
Therefore, rolling out the red carpet for Harry and his wife would be like setting off a nuclear bomb.
The behind-the-scenes action at Bafta has apparently been kept secret, and Prince William's PR team had no knowledge or involvement in any of the decision-making.
The Bafta tea party is a staple fixture in glitzy Los Angeles and invites various nominees, members, and guests for a uniquely elegant gathering, according to the official website.
The party has a long tradition of recognizing the very best film-making talent and is hugely popular with nominees seeking a respite from the hectic and demanding awards season.
The couple's snub comes after Kate Blanchett ridiculed the idea of speaking “My Truth” in an interview with Harper's Bazaar UK.
The phrase, which is now used as a way of stating one's personal opinion or experience, was famously used by US chat show host Oprah Winfrey in her interview with the Harkles.
However, Blanchett admitted she doesn't understand the concept, saying, “There's an exercise at drama school where you write down everything a character says about themselves and then what every other character says about them.
Somewhere between those contrapuntal, contradictory things lies some version of the truth.”
Last year, Harry and Meghan were also mocked by BAFTA.
Australian actress Rebel Wilson, who hosted the BAFTA 2022 awards, made a shocking jibe at the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.
The actress mocked Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's notorious Oprah Winfrey interview, saying it had everything from drama to fantasy, but unfortunately not nominated in the outstanding British film category.
The actress, while introducing the nomination, said, “From drama to fantasy, Harry and Meghan's Oprah interview had it all.
Unfortunately that's not nominated in this category.
But some incredible films are.”
It seems that the couple is not having a great time in the public eye.
The fallout from Prince Harry's attacks on the royal family has led to their exclusion from events like the Bafta tea party.
It is clear that Prince William's position as president of Bafta has played a significant role in their snub.
Any interviews he or Meghan gave would go viral, and anything negative on William would be devastating.
