Before diving into the glitz of the entertainment world, Prince Harry had an illustrious military career that sparkled like a shooting star. Despite being stripped of his military titles and detached from his regal roots, the Duke of Sussex continues to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with his fellow servicemen. In a nod to his remarkable service, the Duke was recently crowned with the prestigious title of Living Legends of Aviation. However, all eyes could not help but wonder why Meghan Markle was not in attendance to toast her husband’s achievement.

According to the latest report from Mirror, it was revealed that one of the Sussex children fell under the weather, prompting Meghan Markle to hold the fort at home while Prince Harry stepped into the limelight to accept his honor. Despite Markle’s physical absence, the Duke managed to weave her essence into the event. Keen-eyed fans picked up on the subtle nods from Prince Harry to Meghan Markle, starting with the tux reminiscent of their wedding reception.
