In a surprising turn of events, the Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle, has decided not to attend King Charles’ coronation on May 6th.<\/p>\n
According to a close friend, the high levels of security surrounding the event have forced her to make this difficult decision.<\/p>\n
Instead, Meghan will remain in California with her children, Prince Archie and Princess Elizabeth, while Prince Harry attends the ceremony alone.<\/p>\n
Speaking to People magazine, the friend revealed that Meghan wanted to be there to support her father-in-law but felt that the constant scrutiny she faces outweighed any potential support she could provide.<\/p>\n
The friend also mentioned that Meghan didn’t want to subject herself to the challenges and criticism that would inevitably arise from her attendance.<\/p>\n
Prince Harry’s confirmation of his participation in the coronation put an end to months of speculation about whether he and Meghan would be present and in what capacity.<\/p>\n
Reports suggest that Prince Harry’s visit will be brief, and he plans to return to his family immediately after the ceremony.<\/p>\n
The news of Meghan’s absence must have come as a disappointment to King Charles.<\/p>\n
A source quoted in US Weekly revealed that Charles was saddened by Meghan’s decision not to attend.<\/p>\n
He had hoped that the coronation would serve as an opportunity to strengthen their relationship and foster healing between them.<\/p>\n
Nevertheless, Prince Harry will be present at the ceremony, representing the family.<\/p>\n
Buckingham Palace officially confirmed Prince Harry’s attendance at the coronation service, which will take place at Westminster Abbey on May 6th.<\/p>\n
In a statement, the palace stated that the Duchess would remain in California with their children, Princess Archie and Prince Littlebit.<\/p>\n
Interestingly, it was later revealed that Meghan would also be celebrating Archie’s fourth birthday on the same day.<\/p>\n
There were initial speculations that Harry and Meghan might not even receive an invitation to the coronation, given the strained relationship between Harry and his father following the fallout from Harry’s explosive memoir, “Spare.”<\/p>\n
However, a representative for the couple confirmed that they had indeed been invited to the event.<\/p>\n
During an interview with ITV in January 2023, Prince Harry expressed his desire to attend King Charles’ coronation, but he emphasized that the final decision rested with his father.<\/p>\n
When asked if he would come if invited, Harry replied, “There’s a lot that can happen between now and then, but the door’s always open, the ball’s in their court.<\/p>\n
There’s a lot to be discussed, and I really hope they’re willing to sit down and talk about it.”<\/p>\n
This interview took place around the same time as the release of Harry’s memoir, “Spare,” in which he criticized both Charles and his brother, Prince William, whom he referred to as his arch-nemesis.<\/p>\n
Harry acknowledged the longstanding competition between them, which he believed influenced their roles within the royal family.<\/p>\n
Now, the question remains: Could Meghan surprise everyone with a last-minute appearance at the coronation?<\/p>\n
