Meghan Markle’s coronation absence is ‘self-preservation’ as Prince Harry makes ‘Solomon-like’ choice: experts

foxnews.com:

Meghan Markle won’t be traveling across the pond for King Charles’ big day – and many royal watchers aren’t surprised. On Wednesday, Buckingham Palace confirmed that Prince Harry will attend his father’s coronation at London’s Westminster Abbey solo. "Buckingham Palace is pleased to confirm that The Duke of Sussex will attend the Coronation Service at Westminster Abbey on May 6th," the palace shared. "The Duchess of Sussex will remain in California with Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet." Christopher Andersen, author of "The King," told Fox News Digital that the appearance will be "a very uncomfortable, highly awkward situation for Harry," following the publication of his explosive memoir "Spare." Therefore, it made sense that the Duchess of Sussex would avoid the intense scrutiny and stay behind in their California home with their two children. "Harry will be cheered, but he will also probably be booed, and he is also likely to feel sidelined and marginalized," Andersen explained. "But there's no doubt that this was the right decision.

I'm sure King Charles is breathing a sigh of relief. As compromises go, this is a good one." "One has to wonder, however, how Meghan feels about all this," Andersen shared. "Does she fully support Harry's decision to go solo, or did she beg him to stay behind with her and the children in Montecito?

Was this a bone of contention between them? If this was a decision made jointly, then it shows a level of maturity and unity in the marriage that is to be admired." "However, if Meghan is only reluctantly supporting Harry's decision or opposes it, you can only imagine what a strain that might put on their marriage going forward," Andersen continued.
