Meghan Markle to Attend Event with Queen Elizabeth and Prince Harry

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, are set to attend the Queen's Young Leaders Award alongside Queen Elizabeth next week.

The announcement was made today via a tweet from the official Buckingham Palace account, Royal Family.

While many royals have attended the event in recent years, Kate Middleton has never been invited to the event, and it is believed that neither she nor Prince William will be present this year.

This news has fueled rumors of a possible rift between the two royal couples.

Prince Harry was recently appointed a Commonwealth Youth Ambassador by the Queen, ahead of his wedding to Meghan on May 19.

This is not the first time the Queen has shown favoritism towards Meghan over the Duchess of Cambridge.

Just last week, Meghan was invited to accompany the Queen for a day of royal engagements in Cheshire.

It took a year into her marriage to Prince William for Kate Middleton to be granted the honor of accompanying the Queen on royal engagements.

In contrast, Meghan has already travelled overnight with the Queen on her royal train, something Kate has never done.

Meghan has been taking style cues from Kate Middleton in order to impress the Queen.

During her appearance with the Queen last week, Meghan paid homage to Kate's style decisions throughout the years, from her n^de nails to her sleek, wavy blow-dry.

There is a single shade of nail polish the Queen is said to approve of, ballet slippers by Essie, which Kate Middleton began wearing once she became a royal.

This news comes amidst rumors of tension between the two royal couples, with reports suggesting that Prince William and Kate Middleton have been snubbing Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.
