We may have seen big names such as Kate Hudson, Cate Blanchett and Janelle Monáe at the star-studded BAFTA Tea Party at the Four Seasons Hotel in Beverly Hills on Saturday, January 14th, but we didn’t see Prince Harry, 38, and Meghan Markle, 41, there. And there’s a very interesting reason for that: they weren’t invited! Ouch!
According to reports, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex were “not welcome” at the event following the backlash from Prince Harry’s memoir, Spare, which hit shelves on January 10th, as well as their Harry & Meghan six-part Netflix docuseries which premiered on the streaming platform the month before.
Reports are suggesting that US “PR advisors” were actually “keen” to invite the Sussexes, as they felt it would be good publicity following the huge interest their Netflix docuseries got, however, those on the other side of the pond didn’t feel the same way.
