As per Elle, it is not quite clear whether they were invited to the event in the first place or not. Although, in 2020, Anna Wintour, the editor in chief of Vogue, allegedly extended the invite to Meghan. However, later those rumours turned out to be untrue, as reported by People magazine.

One of the other reasons could be the security issue. The former Royal couple would require more security than the other celebrities, as they cannot take the risk of being vulnerable in any way.

So this might also be one of the reasons to avoid the extravagant event.
Royals at Met Gala
