It would be unlikely for Markle, 36, to attend the event unless she and Harry, 33, were already engaged. Markle and Harry are expected to celebrate Thanksgiving together later this week.
Earlier Monday, Queen Elizabeth, 91, presented the Duke of Edinburgh, 96, with a special platinum wedding anniversary present.
Buckingham Palace announced she appointed Philip to be a Knight Grand Cross of the Royal Victorian Order for his services to the Sovereign.
