Meghan Markle's decision to remain at home for son Prince Archie's birthday instead of travelling to the UK with husband Harry for King Charles' Coronation has won both praise and criticism from royal fans.
Many have welcomed the Duchess of Sussex's plan to stay out of the limelight on such a huge royal day as selfless, particularly as she will be making sure her eldest child has a fun time on his birthday.
While Prince Harry will be present at the Coronation at Westminster Abbey, his visit is believed to be a flying one with him dashing home to California so he too can join in the celebrations for Archie’s big days
