Prince Harry and Meghan Markle tried to hitch a ride back to America on Air Force One after the Queen Elizabeth II’s funeral but were quickly rebuffed.
Sources told the Daily Mail Wednesday 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, referring to King Charles III.
The White House and a spokesperson for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex did not reply for comment.
The Bidens had used the presidential aircraft to attend the late Queen’s funeral and were also in attendance at a reception for world leaders and foreign royals thrown by King Charles ahead of the service on Sept. 19, 2022.
