Meghan Markle will skip King Charles III’s coronation

Meghan Markle will not be present at King Charles III‘s coronation on May 6, as expected. The former actress will be back home in the US to celebrate her son Archie’s 4th birthday, sources said.

But many believe that the real reason why Markle chose not to attend the important ceremony is to avoid the awkward situation between her and the Royal Family.

The Duchess of Sussex, 41, will stay in Montecito, California while her husband Prince Harry will fly home to see his estranged father crowned king next month.

The coronation falls on the same day as the monarch’s grandson, Archie’s birthday, and a source revealed,

“There was no way that Meghan was going to miss her son’s birthday.”

For the first time ever, Buckingham Palace referred to Harry’s kids as Prince Archie and Princess Lillibet in a statement confirming their plans.

It was only recently that the Sussex children’s titles were updated on the line of succession. An insider said that ”it is a shame” that Archie and Lilibet — nicknamed Lili — will not be in attendance on “such a historic occasion.”

The Palace announced,

“The Duke of Sussex will attend the Coronation service at Westminster Abbey on May 6th. The Duchess of Sussex will remain in California with Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.”

Royal fans had their take on Meghan’s absence from the coronation

Archie who was born in London has only been back to the UK once. His parents brought him for Queen Elizabeth II’s Platinum Jubilee when they moved to the US in 2020.

Lilibet, on the other hand, who was born in California, celebrated her first birthday at Nottingham Cottage during the Jubilee celebrations. It was also her first trip to her father’s home country.

Harry revealed that he wanted the Royal Family to apologize to him and his wife for the hard treatment they allegedly suffered in the UK.

During his ITV interview in January, the fourth-in-line to the throne talked about his plans to attend his father’s coronation, saying,

“There’s a lot that can happen between now and then.
“But, the door is always open. The ball is in their court. There’s a lot to be discussed, and I really hope that they’re willing to sit down and talk about it.”

The coronation will be the first time Harry will be facing his family since the release of his bombshell book Spare.

An insider revealed that even though Meghan will not be going, it will be extremely awkward for Harry.

Fans took to social media to comment on Meghan’s absence from her father-in-law’s important day.

One wrote,

”Meghan staying away and Harry not being allowed on the balcony is the best scenario we can expect. Now, Let’s hope Meghan is not a commentator on US television.”

Another added,

”So glad Meghan is not attending the coronation, love to the serving BRF”
