It was no doubt a difficult decision, but, a royal expert says, the right one: Prince Harry will attend his father King Charles’ Coronation on May 6 at Westminster Abbey in London, while wife Meghan Markle will stay behind in California. (The couple’s children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, will stay with Meghan; Archie’s fourth birthday is, coincidentally, also May 6.)
“I think Meghan not attending is a huge relief for everybody involved,” said Nick Bullen, the editor-in-chief of True Royalty TV, speaking to Us Weekly. “She knows that if she turns up, the story will become about her. All cameras will be trained on her to see, you know, ‘How does she look? Is there a nervousness in her eyes?’ All those things.”
