According to Levin, Markle has failed to uphold basic human rights principles, and the couple could have been valuable assets to the Commonwealth by sharing their perspectives on being young royals in the modern era.
Despite the potential benefits of participating in the coronation ceremony and expanding their network of contacts, the couple chose not to attend.
Levin notes that Prince Charles appeared vulnerable and emotional during the ceremony, and could have used support from his youngest son. Fortunately, Prince William was there to comfort his father with an intimate kiss.
The ceremony itself emphasized humility, kindness, service, and compassion, values that Harry and Meghan often preach but may not always practice.
In contrast, there were no signs of unconscious bias or institutional racism at the ceremony, and Charles made an unprecedented move by including leaders from multiple faiths.
