Megan's mall on First Lady Jill Biden has unveiled the theme for the 2023 White House holiday season, focusing on the magic, wonder, and joy of the holidays.
However, any hopes of an invitation for Megan Marle might be dashed due to a past gesture that involved sending lemons to Jill Biden for wearing a similar dress.
The relationship between Jill Biden and the Sussexes has had its ups and downs. Following Harry and Megan's controversial Oprah Winfrey interview in 2021, some fans perceived Jill's choice of a lemon-patterned Oscar de la Renta dress as a subtle nod of support to the Sussexes.
In response, Megan sent the First Lady a basket of lemons, contributing to the ongoing joke. However, the invitation to the White House Christmas party appears elusive for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, suggesting a more complicated dynamic.
In another intriguing twist, it's revealed that Harry and Megan sought to hitch a ride back to America on Air Force 1 after Queen Elizabeth II's funeral. The request was promptly denied by the White House, with sources describing it as a nonstarter due to potential complications and strained relations with the palace and the new king, referring to King Charles.
The Bidens, who had used the presidential aircraft for the late Queen's funeral, also hosted a reception attended by world leaders and foreign Royals, from whom Harry and Megan were initially invited but later uninvited.
Despite President Joe Biden mentioning Harry's work with the Invictus games during the National Christmas Tree Lighting ceremony, there's no indication of a White House invitation for the Sussexes. The history of the Bidens attending Invictus events when Harry and Megan were working Royals raises questions about the current standing of the Sussexes in the eyes of the White House. The absence of an invitation suggests a nuanced relationship, highlighting the complexities of navigating royal connections post-Megxit.
