The verdict is in, and Meghan Markle will not be in attendance at King Charles’ upcoming Coronation on May 6 at Westminster Abbey in London. (Husband Prince Harry, however, will be there.) Meghan will stay behind in California to celebrate the fourth birthday of her son, Prince Archie, who will be joined by sister Princess Lilibet at his birthday party in Montecito.
The King is said to be “sad” and “disappointed” that Meghan, Archie, and Lilibet won’t be there, but also seems to understand the rationale. For her part, The Sun reports, Meghan hopes her decision to stay home will be seen as unselfish.
