King Charles ‘hasn’t lost sleep over Meghan’s upset feelings around coronation’

On Feb 22, 2023

King Charles hasn’t lost any sleep over the ongoing saga about Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s attendance at his coronation, an expert has claimed.

Writing in news.com.au, royal commentator Daniel Elser discussed claims that Harry’s wife Meghan could feel “excluded” from the plans surrounding the big event.

She discussed comments made by a “close” source in The Spectator, which said the Sussexes were “weighing up” whether or not to attend the coronation because Meghan “feels excluded”.

While she made no claims about the truth of the comments, she discussed the likely reaction from the new King Charles.

Daniela wrote: “I think we can pretty safely assume that Charles has not lost a single wink of sleep fretting about his daughter-in-law’s potentially hurt feelings about not being made to feel more of a part of things, with His Majesty tossing and turning in bed as Queen Camilla ignores him re-reading Black Beauty with her night-time hot toddy.”

Charles is understood to have axed the part of the coronation that would see the Dukes pay homage to him at Westminster Abbey, and instead, only Prince of Wales William will be getting involved in the ceremony proper.

She also reckons that Harry and Meghan, were they to attend, would be unlikely to appear on the balcony of Buckingham Palace, along with all other members of the family whose jobs aren’t the full-time support of the crown.

But Daniela noted that, no matter what happens regarding the Sussexes’ attendance, their presence or absence will make headlines either way.

“The irony here is, if Meghan really does ‘feel excluded’ then she should take heart in the fact that her and Harry’s presence – or absence – will, either way, likely prove a distracting sideshow to the main event,” she wrote.
