An anonymous source told Daily Mail that the King is "very disappointed" that he won't see his daughter-in-law and two grandchildren at his coronation next month. However, he is happy that his youngest son, Prince Harry, will fly from the U.S. to join the family on his biggest day.
Another unnamed tipster told The Sun:
Several netizens also aired the same concern, with one saying if Markle doesn't want to attend the event, she should let her kids go with their dad, Prince Harry.

A royal observer also said that Markle's absence was a relief to the royals, especially to Kate Middleton.
Since Prince Harry will be flying solo, many believe his visit to the U.K. will be short. Sources close to the Sussexes said he would not return to Buckingham Palace to join his family or take part in any further events over the coronation weekend.
