A Sussex insider told GB News: “They haven’t done themselves any favours by doing so many separate events but this is what they have decided to do as it works best for them at the moment as a couple and they both feel they can shine at events that are close to their hearts.

“But it does upset her [Meghan Markle] that, while Harry was getting praised for all of his appearances, she is getting criticised for what she says, what she wears etc and it brings back hurtful memories of when she was a royal.”

The couple have not been seen in public together since attending a birthday party the night before Prince Harry’s own milestone celebration.
