Prince Harry has a scheduled appearance in London for the Invictus Games' 10th anniversary, conflicting with the Met Gala timeline.
Meghan Markle focuses on her children and new Netflix projects, including a lifestyle show featuring cooking and gardening.
The couple has confirmed a forthcoming trip to Nigeria at the invitation of the country's Chief of Defense Staff.
