Why Meghan Markle Will Not Be Attending The Coronation Of King Charles

Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, will not be attending King Charles III’s coronation, Buckingham Palace has said.

There had been speculation about whether the couple would travel to the coronation but it has now emerged that Prince Harry will attend alone. The prince will join more than 2,000 guests at Westminster Abbey on 6 May.

On April 12, it was confirmed that Prince Harry would return to the United Kingdom for the May 6 celebration. However, he’ll be going without Meghan Markle.

“Buckingham Palace is pleased to confirm that The Duke of Sussex will attend the Coronation Service at Westminster Abbey on 6^th May,” a statement from the Palace read. “The Duchess of Sussex will remain in California with Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.”

Meghan, who was in attendance at Queen Elizabeth II’s Platinum Jubilee in June and her funeral in September, will be staying in California during Charles’ and Camila’s coronation, which is the same day as Archie’s fourth birthday.
