Meghan Markle ‘never likely’ to attend Coronation as royals put her in ‘impossible situation’
Meghan Markle was ‘never likely’ to attend the Coronation of King Charles III, sources close to those planning the event have said, after she was put in an ‘impossible situation’ by the royal family.
Prince Harry is understood to have gone through weeks of negotiations with Buckingham Palace over the event, including going over arrangements for security and concerns over reception from his family.
Buckingham Palace announced the news that Harry would be in the UK for the ceremony in a statement yesterday, saying it was ‘pleased to confirm’ the Duke of Sussex will be at Westminster Abbey on May 6.
Meghan will stay at home at the couple’s residence in Montecito with one-year-old Lilibet and Archie, whose fourth birthday is on the same day as the ceremony.
A royal source told the Mirror: ‘The truth of the matter is the Duchess was never likely to attend the coronation.’
