Meghan Markle and Prince Harry make under-the-radar visit to Camp Pendleton ahead of Veterans Day as royal tensions swirl

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have paid a visit to San Diego’s Camp Pendleton ahead of Veterans Day.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex on Wednesday shared that they spent the morning with veterans, active duty service members, as well as their families during the brief visit.

Meghan, 42, and Harry, 39, stopped by Operation Bigs — a mentoring program tailor-made for children of military families, according to the couple’s Archewell foundation.

Markle, dressed in an electric blue cardigan adorned with poppies for the occasion, discussed how the first-of-its-kind program has supported kids since its launch.

Harry, who opted for a smart navy blazer atop a light blue shirt and khaki pants, also chatted with veterans about how the program supports them and their loved ones.

The duke was seen sporting a red poppy on his blazer in honor of the UK’s Remembrance Day, which is also on Saturday.

The program — which was founded in 2004 — “helps to connect “young people and families to mentors who can relate to the shared experiences” that come with having a loved one in the armed forces, according to the Archewell website.

The pair’s visit to San Diego comes just days after their camp spoke out about King Charles’ upcoming birthday and reports they were snubbed from the guest list.

As the King prepares to ring in his 75th birthday on Nov. 14, the Sussexes said there’s been “no contact” from the royals about the fête.

His close family and friends will attend – including Prince William, 41, Kate Middleton, 41, and Queen Camilla, 76 – but Harry and Meghan will be no-shows, according to insiders. 

“In response to UK media headlines, there has been no contact regarding an invitation to his majesty’s upcoming birthday,” Ashley Hansen told The Post. “It is disappointing the Sunday Times has misreported this story.”

The statement follows hot on the heels of rumors of a second memoir from the Montecito-based couple, as sources claim that Meghan is looking to release a tell-all of her own following the success of Harry’s “Spare,” released in January.

And while this is still unconfirmed, it’s known that the Sussexes signed a lucrative four-book deal with Penguin Random House in 2021 — which could mean that an idea of another memoir is not so far-fetched after all.
