Meghan was due to attend an Invictus Games event with the duke in Birmingham on Friday but will no longer do so.
She had already pulled out of a scheduled appearance with her husband at the Royal Hospital Chelsea in London on Wednesday.
The decision follows concerns which were raised by the family over how they will be protected and confusion over where they will stay.

As a result, the Sussexes announced last weekend that Meghan and the children would no longer travel to London.
The duchess is not expected to attend any public events while in the UK, The Telegraph understands.
Harry orignally planned to be joined by Meghan and their children on the five-day trip to mark the one-year countdown to the Invictus Games.
The duke was waiting for a review by the Risk Management Board (RMB), part of the process by which the Executive Committee for the Protection of Royalty and Public Figures (Ravec) rules on his security requirements, but found out last week that this had yet to have taken place.
Harry was also reportedly told he would not be allowed to stay at Buckingham Palace during his stay.
Sources close to the King claimed Harry had declined accommodation at the palace when first offered, saying it was “unsuitable.”
That was despite the Duke accepting an invitation to stay at the Palace, but this was said to have been done so too late after allegedly declining to stay at first.
A spokesperson for Harry said it was "disappointing" the offer from the King had been “withdrawn at the last moment".
Their last trip to Britain with the Duke and Duchess of Sussex was for the late Queen Elizabeth II’s Platinum Jubilee in 2022, with The King having not seen his grandchildren since then.
