But before you start making suggestions about ‘royal feud’ between the Sussexes and the Trumps, we need to clear up that Harry and Meghan’s absence at the reception can be explained simply - the event falls during their 6-week break from royal duties amid the festive season.

As it was confirmed earlier, Harry and Meghan temporary ‘resign’ from royal duties till January. The Sussexes will celebrate Christmas in the United States with the Duchess’ mother.

During his previous state visit to the UK in June, Donald Trump also didn’t have a chance to meet Duchess Meghan in person as she was on maternity leave at that time.

I don’t blame Prince Harry distancing himself from Trump after what he said about his wife.

He did not want to be there with THEM, the Trump's. I can't blame him.

He hit ‘em with the “I’m just here so I don’t get fined” look.

Hopefully, next year the US President will finally meet Harry and Meghan and their adorable son Archie.
