Prince Harry, Meghan Markle asked to use Air Force One after Queen’s funeral

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle tried to hitch a ride back to America on Air Force One after Queen Elizabeth II’s funeral but were quickly rebuffed.

Sources told the Daily Mail that it was an immediate no from the White House, adding that the request was a “non-starter.” 

“It would have caused such a commotion. It would have strained relations with the Palace and the new King,” another source added.

The Bidens had used the presidential aircraft to attend the late Queen’s funeral.

The couple, who bowed out of senior royal duties in January 2020, have reportedly tried in other ways to cozy up to the Bidens.

First lady Jill Biden was reportedly asked to attend the 2022 Invictus Games but was advised not to.

It’s been a challenging time for the California-based couple as they recently lost out on their $20 million Spotify contract.
