Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are no longer going to Prince Charles' birthday party

But they have a good reason...

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s upcoming royal tour is in touching distance, with the royal newlyweds set to embark on their trip to Australia, New Zealand, Fiji and the Kingdom of Tonga this autumn.

Details have been coming through thick and fast of what the Duke and Duchess of Sussex can expect – and it’s getting more enviable by the day.

It was announced last month that David Beckham would be joining the royal couple for the Australia leg of their tour, after signing up as an ambassador of the Invictus Games, due to take place while the couple are in the land down under.

Yes – David Beckham on the royal tour!!

David explained that he was ‘incredibly proud’ to take up the role, and we’re sure Harry and Meghan will be thrilled to spend some time with their friend too, with the Beckhams attending Harry and Meghan’s wedding earlier this year.

And now it seems that two more famous royal faces are set to be coming along, with Denmark’s Prince Frederik and Princess Mary joining them.

While the tour seems to get more exciting by the day, it’s not all good news, with the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s travelling making it impossible for them to attend a very important event back home - Prince Charles’ 70th birthday party.

Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, is reportedly planing a big concert and dinner at Buckingham Palace in honour of her husband’s milestone birthday, held on 25 October - three weeks before his birthday.

While the royal newlyweds won’t be making his party, they should be back for his real birthday where there is sure to be a smaller celebration.
