Buckingham Palace confirmed this in a statement, mentioning that will be present at the coronation service at Westminster Abbey on May 6th.

Her theatrical mockery of curtsying to Her Majesty, with Prince Harry looking on silently, further fueled the controversy.

Many British people were angered by Markle's disparaging remarks, especially considering her desire to retain her royal title for herself and her children, and Elizabeth.

Through their skillful creations, they have playfully mocked the Duchess and Prince Harry.

Meanwhile, the controversy surrounding Meghan Markle's comments about the royal family continues to spark debate, with some questioning her intentions and motives.
