Meghan Markle "does not feel welcome in the UK" as the Duchess of Sussex "snubbed" an upcoming visit, a royal commentator has claimed.
Prince Harry is confirmed to be attending the 10-year anniversary service for the Invictus Games at St Paul's Cathedral next month.
However, GB News understands that Meghan, 42, will not be joining her husband for the trip.
Royal commentator Kinsey Schofield explained that the Duchess of Sussex likely feels "uncomfortable" about the prospect of returning to the UK.

She said: "Meghan tells friends that she does not feel welcome or comfortable in the UK.
"I know that their popularity has seen a severe decline in Britain, but I also know that Meghan would be treated with kindness if she opted to attend.
"I am surprised that Meghan would not want to appear alongside Prince Harry to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Invictus Games."
She continued to tell Fox News: "There will be no senior members of the Royal Family there to support Prince Harry."
