A no-win situation. Meghan Markle’s decision not to attend King Charles III’s upcoming coronation left her open to scrutiny from the public — but she would’ve faced backlash either way, a source exclusively told Us Weekly.“She would’ve been damned if she did and damned if she didn’t,” Tessa Dunlop, author of Elizabeth & Philip: A Story of Young Love, Marriage and Monarchy, told Us on Tuesday, April 18.Dunlop explained that Meghan, 41, was the “convenient” person for the public to “blame” amid the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s ongoing drama with the royal family. Prince Harry and his wife have been at odds with The Firm since stepping back as senior royals in 2020.“There was this absolute kind of going for her.
It [was] very unpleasant trolling and viciousness,” the author, 49, said of the cruel social media comments about Meghan, and at times, the British press’ controversial coverage of her. “I think what we’ve seen is at best — or at worst even — Meghan carried an ambivalence towards monarchy and really a total lack of understanding about what it was and how it worked.”The expert noted that the “narrative” that was created by Netflix’s 2022 Harry & Meghan docuseries and the prince’s memoir, Spare, was not entirely the Suits alum’s doing.
In both projects, Harry, 38, spoke out against his family claiming they didn’t protect him and Meghan against public hate speech and racist remarks.“Harry’s authored [their] history,” Dunlop claimed to Us, adding, “Meghan’s very much taken a backseat over the last few months.
And Harry’s front footed [the narrative].”She further alleged that Harry’s ups and downs with Charles, 74, and brother Prince William could have made it more likely for Meghan to pass on the upcoming coronation.
