The Royal Family is preparing a high-profile trip to the United States next July to mark America’s 250th birthday — but insiders say Prince Harry and Meghan Markle will be completely frozen out of the celebrations.
According to multiple sources speaking to Page Six, Prince William and Princess Kate are expected to headline the historic festivities honoring the signing of the Declaration of Independence. Meanwhile, King Charles and Queen Camilla have been invited by President Trump for an official State Visit in Washington, DC this April — pending the King’s health.

“This is going to be a massive year for both countries,” one insider revealed. “We’re hoping all senior royals will come over.” Charles — who just celebrated his 77th birthday at a star-studded event in New York hosted by JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon — is said to be deeply engaged in the upcoming plans.
But one thing is already certain:
Harry and Meghan will not be invited.
“Obviously, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are not working royals, so they will not be included in any official events,” the source said. “Any invitation would have to come directly from the royal family — and that’s not happening.”
Despite stepping back from royal duty, the couple continues to lean heavily on their titles. Meghan was recently introduced to a reporter during a profile interview as “Meghan, Duchess of Sussex,” a move some insiders call “tone-deaf.”
Tensions inside the monarchy remain ice-cold. Harry and William haven’t spoken in over two years, and although Harry saw his father in September and expressed a desire to reconcile — saying he didn’t want to “fight anymore” — the damage from the Sussexes’ attacks runs deep.

Their Oprah interview, Netflix reality series, and Harry’s explosive memoir have, according to sources, left the Royal Family unable to trust them enough to welcome them back in any capacity.
And across the political aisle, the situation is no warmer — Trump has repeatedly made it clear he has zero affection for the couple. When asked about deporting Harry over past drug use, Trump replied, “I’ll leave him alone. He’s got enough problems with his wife. She’s terrible.”
Meanwhile, King Charles continues strengthening ties with the U.S. administration. The Trumps were granted an unprecedented second State Visit in September, including a lavish banquet at Windsor Castle — where Trump was reportedly so enamored by Kate Middleton he called her “the Queen.”
At the event, Charles praised Trump’s “personal commitment” to solving global conflicts and stressed the need to protect the cultural, military, and economic bond between the two nations.
“The word ‘special’ doesn’t begin to do it justice,” Trump responded.
Buckingham Palace has declined to comment on any overseas travel until officially confirmed. William and Kate’s representatives were also unavailable.
