Despite being a Duchess, Meghan Markle places her role as a mother above all else.
According to an insider quoted by Us Weekly, Meghan has decided to stay in California to celebrate her son Archie's fourth birthday while Prince Harry attends King Charles' coronation in the UK on May 6th.
The publication reports that Meghan plans to keep the celebration low-key and intimate with only close family and friends present.
The same source explains that while Meghan appreciates the invitation to the coronation, she wouldn't miss her son's birthday for anything.
This sentiment is echoed by another source who states that Meghan's priority is being a mom first and everything else comes second.
There are also rumors that Prince Harry might return to California on the same day to celebrate Archie's birthday with Meghan due to the time difference.
