Whatever the reasons for this decision, it will long resonate with Britain and the royal family. After weeks of speculation, the palace announced on April 12 that Prince Harry (38) will travel to London for the coronation on May 6. Meghan, on the other hand, remains in California with children Archie (3) and Lilibet (1). A bang that reveals how bad the relationship between Meghan and her in-laws is.
How bad is it really after the runaway couple opened up about royalty again in a Netflix documentary in December? Meghan in particular was noticed with comments about the traditions at court. For example, she made fun of the curtsy. But why doesn’t she come? According to British media reports, her alleged desire for a seat on the balcony could have been denied and her children were not invited, as reported by the “Sunday Telegraph” among other things? However, the situation seems very tense and muddled. It is said from various sources that Meghan stays at home because of Archie’s birthday. He will be four on Coronation Day. Her friend Omid Scobie (41) emphasizes on Twitter that this “played a role in the couple’s decision”. Or is it just a cover-up excuse?
The so-called Megxit was three years ago, i.e. Meghan and Harry left the royal family and moved to America. Since then, the British royal family has had to reconcile how and whether the two are taken into account on major occasions. They traveled to the four-day platinum throne celebration of Queen Elizabeth II (1926-2022) in June 2022, but were only allowed to make one public appearance at the thanksgiving service in St. Paul’s Cathedral.
In the run-up to the Queen’s funeral in September 2022, there was much discussion as to whether Harry could walk behind the coffin and whether he was wearing a uniform or a suit. At that time, Meghan had accompanied him to the funeral service. The joint appearance with Prince William (40) and Kate (41) at the sea of flowers in front of Windsor Castle also raised hopes for family reconciliation.
It’s probably broken now. Possibly final. Because if Meghan doesn’t even come to the event of the century, why should she ever travel to the UK again? Next up is Trooping the Color on June 21st and Charles’ 75th birthday on November 14th. It is unlikely that the 41-year-old will come to these royal family appointments. This also raises the question of when the king will ever be able to see his grandchildren Archie and Lilibet again.
So while Prince Harry prepares for the trip to London, Meghan is working on her career. As “The Sun” reports, she is pushing ahead with the relaunch of her website “The Tig”. She stopped her lifestyle blog in 2017 after her engagement to Prince Harry. A new logo is said to have been developed and “The Tig” registered as a trademark. Accordingly, the website deals with “food, cooking, recipes, travel, relationships, fashion and style”.
