The new monarch deemed it important for his son to be present at the historic event. Buckingham Palace confirmed that the Duke of Sussex would be flying to the UK for the occasion, but his wife, the Duchess, along with their children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, would remain in California.
According to royal commentator Richard Fitzwilliams, Meghan's absence is "for the best," considering the deep rift within the Royal Family.
He further explained that the Royal Family could not say anything to Harry as it might appear in a book or on TV.
Fitzwilliams pointed out that Harry's attendance was essential as the Sussexes had been playing "destructive games" and their non-appearance would make them appear completely isolated. King Charles' coronation is a significant event, and the attention should focus on him, not on the absentees.
