Harry heading to London without Meghan
The royal couple, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, are known for their packed schedules. This time was no different. While everyone was getting ready for the Met Gala, the Duke and Duchess had some prior work commitments.
Prince Harry had an important engagement lined up in London just two days after the Met Gala. He needed to be there to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Invictus Games Foundation. Invictus Games are super important for him because they support wounded soldiers and veterans. Meanwhile, Meghan, based in California with their children Archie and Lilibet, opted not to join him on this trip.
