Meghan Markle did not receive an invitation to Pippa's wedding ceremony.
The close relationship between Prince Harry and Meghan Markle faced a significant 'rejection' from Kate Middleton's sister, Pippa Middleton, thanks to concerns voiced by their mother, Carole.
The Duchess of Sussex found herself absent from Pippa's wedding ceremony due to her mother's reservations about Meghan's presence at this grand occasion.
It was rumored that Carole Middleton, the mother, had a candid conversation with her younger daughter, Pippa, expressing her concerns about Meghan potentially creating disruptions during the wedding.
Reports suggested that Pippa and Carole were apprehensive that the former Suits star might steal the spotlight from the bride on her special day, as mentioned in Carolyn Durand and Omid Scobie's book, "Finding Freedom."
In 2017, Pippa exchanged vows with James Matthews, the brother of former Made in Chelsea star Spencer Matthews, at St Mark's Church in Englefield Estate, Berkshire. At that time, Meghan had only recently entered the royal family's circle, having started dating Harry the previous year in 2016.
It was reported that Meghan had a strong desire to attend Pippa's event and had even purchased a new outfit and hat for the big day, only to be turned down in the end.
Kate's family made the decision to exclude the former Hollywood star from their wedding guest list. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, however, went on to tie the knot in 2018, just two years after their initial meeting.
Royal biographers also brought up a headline comparing Pippa and Meghan's appearances on the morning of the wedding, which added to the tension.
