Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have reportedly been “tipped to present Oscar award” at this year’s star-studded event as the couple are set to miss Prince Philip’s memorial at the end of this month.

The couple are said to have been approached last year to present an award at the prestigious event. It’s claimed they are lined up to present the Best Picture award on the night.

A source told The Sun: “Harry and Meghan were first approached two years ago for the ceremony but politely declined. “Obviously they’d be a huge coup this year, and could use their appearance to make an impassioned speech of their choosing, most likely Ukraine.” Get exclusive celebrity stories and fabulous photoshoots straight to your inbox with OK!'s daily newsletter.
