Although some royal experts have speculated that the Duchess of Sussex is avoiding further backlash by not attending, PR strategist Edward Coram James believes it would have been better for her to attend the event.
Since stepping down as a senior member of the royal family in 2020, Meghan's popularity has decreased due to her criticism of the institution.
James believes that by rejecting certain aspects of royal life while still accepting its benefits, Meghan appears to be trying to have her cake and eat it too.
This self-serving behavior could lead to a further decline in her popularity.
James argues that Meghan may have misunderstood what the public expects from someone in her position of privilege.
He believes that her criticism of the Royal Family has not gone down well with her supporters and could continue to damage her reputation.
While some people may be pleased that Meghan will not be attending the coronation, James believes that her absence could be seen as a snub and could further damage her reputation.
