Why Meghan Markle Missed Pippa's Wedding And Didn't Sit Beside Prince Harry At The Reception?

Meghan Markle's attendance on Pippa Middleton's wedding was a hot topic. Many were concerned if the "Suits" actress will attend the ceremony or not. Well, Prince Harry's girlfriend just missed it and the couple didn't sit beside each other during the reception.

Initially, there were reports suggesting that Pippa Middleton enforced the "no ring, no bring" policy, which forbids a bachelor to bring a plus one unless he is engaged or married. When the wedding was close, some sources revealed that the "Horrible Bosses" star was an exception and she would be attending the ceremony, reception and evening after-party.

However, Meghan Markle was not around during Pippa Middleton's wedding ceremony, but it wasn't an issue about the invitation. A source told the Sun (via Express), that Prince Harry is fond of his sister-in-law and he agreed with his girlfriend that they didn't want to upstage the bride.

Meghan Markle's attendance in the wedding of Prince Harry's best friend in Jamaica caused a stir. The royal couple became the center of attention and this was the last thing they had on mind for Pippa Middleton's wedding, so the "Suits" star opted to miss the ceremony.

Kate Middleton's sister also witnessed it and didn't want the same thing to happen on her wedding. "She saw how all eyes were on Meghan rather than Lara," one source said. Pippa Middleton wanted to be the center of attention on her big day and the people around her are supportive of this. In fact, the Duchess of Cambridge took the backseat and didn't have a major role in the wedding, so as not to steal the spotlight.

Meanwhile, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry didn't sit next to each other during the reception. The couple was not feuding. In fact, after the wedding ceremony, Prince Harry made a 100-mile round trip to get his girlfriend for the reception. The "Suits" actress arrived in a maroon backless dress on the arms of the royal prince.

Pippa Middleton reportedly made a seating arrangement forbidding couples to sit together. This explains why Meghan Markle and Prince Harry were not sitting next to each other during the reception, per Express.
