Meghan Markle is reportedly feeling excluded from the plans for King Charles’s coronation, leading to speculation that she and Prince Harry may choose not to attend.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are said to be weighing their options regarding the upcoming wedding on May 6.
Close sources have revealed that the couple is in a state of uncertainty, considering various factors that could influence their decision.
Royal expert Richard Fitz Williams suggested that the Sussexes might stay at home due to security concerns and a potential decline in popularity following the release of Harry’s memoir.
However, insiders close to the Duke have stated that he wishes to be by his father’s side on this significant day and hopes to repair his strained relationship with the royal family.
The couple faces a difficult choice, as they risk being booed or labeled hypocrites if they attend, while also facing accusations of snubbing the family if they opt out.
The final decision on attending the coronation will only be made once a formal invitation is delivered to their California home.
At that point, Meghan and Harry will decide whether to attend together or if Harry will go alone.
Alternatively, they may choose not to attend at all.
If they do make the trip, it is expected to be brief.
Critics argue that the couple’s decision-making lacks foresight, describing it as a “cross that bridge when we come to it” approach.
Meanwhile, Meghan has expressed distress over how she and Harry were portrayed in a recent South Park episode titled “The Global Privacy Tour.”
The episode mocks the couple’s desire for privacy while they were on a promotional tour for Harry’s memoir.
Meghan is depicted as a sorority girl, actor, influencer, and victim, further adding to her feelings of being overwhelmed.
Sources close to Meghan have revealed that she is upset with South Park, although she refuses to watch the entire episode.
There have been suggestions that the Sussexes’ legal team is reviewing the broadcast for possible legal ramifications.
Royal commentator Neil Sean has stated that the show is being closely monitored for any further attacks on the couple.
The creators of South Park have not yet received any legal communication regarding the episode.
However, it is clear that the satirical series has drawn attention to the couple’s desire for privacy while simultaneously seeking public attention.
The episode portrays a fictional Prince and Princess of Canada, resembling Harry and Meghan, who face criticism for their contradictory actions.
The episode begins with a character mourning the death of the late Queen Elizabeth II, who bears a resemblance to the Canadian monarch.
The Prince and Princess of Canada attend a state funeral and are subsequently booed by the rest of the royal family for allegedly disrespecting the Canadian monarchy.
The caricatured couple then appears on breakfast television, ironically requesting privacy in response to the backlash.
As the coronation plans unfold and the South Park controversy continues, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry find themselves at the center of attention once again.
Their decision on attending the wedding remains uncertain, with numerous factors influencing their choice.
Only time will tell whether they will be present to witness King Charles’s ascension to the throne.
