Duchess of Sussex to Miss King Charles’ Coronation, Stays in California with Children

The Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle, will not be accompanying her husband, Prince Harry, to King Charles' coronation next month.

Instead, she will stay behind at their family home in California with their children, Prince Archie and Lilibet.

This decision was influenced by Archie's upcoming fourth birthday on May 6th, which coincides with the historic event at Westminster Abbey.

According to the couple's biographer, Irma Scobie, it is expected that Harry's trip to the UK will be relatively short.

Speculation has arisen within royal circles regarding Meghan's absence from the coronation.

Some have suggested that she may have reservations about facing potential criticism or negative reception in the UK.

The Duchess faced significant backlash after appearing in a Netflix series with Harry, where they mocked the moment she first curtsied to the late Queen.

Since stepping back from their royal duties, Harry and Meghan have often polarized public opinion while also amassing a considerable fortune.

Sources close to the Sussexes have indicated that Meghan does not plan to return to the UK in the near future.

Other royal sources claim that her non-attendance at the coronation was expected due to the difficult position she has been placed in.

Harry engaged in weeks of discussions with Buckingham Palace aides before finalizing his intention to travel to the UK.

During these conversations, the Duke expressed concerns about his security and the well-being of his family.

Insiders suggest that signs were pointing towards Meghan skipping the historic ceremony, especially considering her absence from Harry's recent book tour and her reported disappointment over her children's exclusion from the coronation process.

A royal source revealed, “The truth of the matter is that the Duchess was never likely to attend the coronation.

The mood from California was that she felt increasingly put in an impossible position.

There is a fair sense of relief that the situation is resolved, but there is so much speculation and uncertainty.

It is one thing to attend the late Queen's funeral and show respect for Her Majesty, but another thing entirely to attend the start of a new reign.”

Palace staffers reportedly expressed relief that the media frenzy surrounding Meghan's potential attendance would not be taking place.

Some sympathized with her, acknowledging that she is constantly criticized regardless of her actions.

As a mother, her decision to prioritize her young children is commendable.

Harry's visit to the UK will be brief, as he will only be attending the coronation ceremony and not participating in the subsequent festivities over the three-day bank holiday weekend.

This will be the first time Harry, 38, reunites with his family since the late Queen's funeral last September.

Additionally, it will mark his first face-to-face encounter with his brother, Prince William, and his father since the release of his explosive memoir, “Spare,” in January.

The question arises: Does this signify the end of Meghan's royal fairy tale after the King's coronation?
