Prince Harry snubbed by royal family as Meghan Markle hikes with friends
The Duchess of Sussex skipped the coronation to stay in California with the children she shares with Prince Harry
Meghan Markle was spotted on a hike in Montecito Sunday after skipping out on King Charles' coronation weekend.
Markle, 41, was joined by friends Markus Anderson and Heather Dorak on the hike. Prince Harry and the couple's children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, were not with them.
The "Suits" actress wore a black tank top paired with black leggings for the outing. Markle further accessorized with a hat, a bandana and sunglasses. Despite skipping the royal festivities, Markle honored the late Princess Diana by wearing her watch for the hike.
The Duchess of Sussex wears the Cartier watch nearly every day, according to Page Six. Markle also sported a diamond tennis bracelet, that's believed to have been gifted to Diana from Charles during their marriage. Two diamonds from the bracelet were used to create Markle's engagement ring.
