Meghan Markle won’t be present when Prince Harry and Queen Elizabeth II host President Trump and first lady Melania for lunch at the palace.
A schedule for the Trumps’ state visit to the U.K. has been released, indicating that the former “Suits” actress (and prior Hillary Clinton supporter) won’t attend.
Duchess Meghan remains on maternity leave following the birth of her and Prince Harry’s first child, son Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor, earlier this month.

Before going public with her relationship with Prince Harry, Duchess Meghan called Trump “misogynistic … and so vocal about it,” adding, “I’m voting for Hillary Clinton, not because she is a woman, but because Trump has made it easy to see that you don’t really want that kind of world that he’s painting.”
