Meghan Markle’s suspicious absence from Oprah Winfrey’s party

• Harry and Meghan mocked by fans for snubbing Oprah’s 69th birthday.
• Jennifer Lopez, Kim Kardashian and other celebs attended the celebration.
• PR expert says the couple may have feared further public scorn.

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have been mocked by royal fans for not being invited to Oprah Winfrey’s 69th birthday party.

Jennifer Lopez, Kim Kardashian, Priyanka Chopra, and other celebrities attended the celebration, which Meghan was conspicuously absent from.

A PR expert says the Duchess of Sussex may have turned down the offer over fear of “further public scorn”.

According to Mario Almonte, president of Herman & Almonte Public Relations, widespread claims of a snub may be false.

“The absence of Prince Harry and Meghan from Oprah’s recent birthday celebration may say more about the couple’s current state of mind than Oprah’s opinion of them or the royals.”

He said Amonte said: “To be fair, most attendees at Oprah’s party were celebrities, known mostly as performers and entertainers. The party was also for ‘the 25 most influential women’ so Harry’s presence wouldn’t have been appropriate.

“None of the attendees were purely ‘public official’, as one might categorize Harry and Meghan.

“But even discounting those factors, the couple – or, at least Meghan – may have decided not to attend out of concern for their public image.”
