Meghan Markle is wise to skip King Charles' coronation. An expert claimed it was a smart move to avoid her critics.
Meghan Markle Not Giving Critics The Power To Mock Her?
Last week, Buckingham Palace announced that Prince Harry would attend King Charles' coronation. However, his wife, Meghan Markle and their two kids — Archie, 3, and Lilibet, 1 — will remain in California.
According to previous reports, Markle will stay in their $14 million mansion for Archie's birthday. However, royal expert Afua Hagan told Express another reason behind Markle's "masterstroke" decision.
She explained:
Hagan continued:
The expert believed that the former actress probably found the negative headline against her annoying when she was just supporting her husband. So, she decided not to put herself in the same position where her critics would have reason to criticize her because it's not worth it, Hagan claimed.
Meghan Markle Avoid Being Booed At The UK?
New Zealand-born British journalist and GB News presenter Dan Wootton also weighed in on the Duchess of Sussex's decision to skip King Charles' historical moment. In his opinion, Markle wanted to avoid public humiliation.
Wootton said on GB News:
Wootton was convinced that if the public would give Markle a warm welcome, she would surely join Prince Harry at King Charles' coronation. However, the royal commentator speculated that Markle didn't want to take the risk, given how the British public would feel about her.
Prince Harry and Markle made their last public appearance in the UK when they attended the Thanksgiving service during the Queen's Platinum Jubilee celebration. It was also their first public appearance after they stepped back from their royal duties in 2020.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex were welcomed with a mix of cheers and boos. Several also booed them when they were about to leave St. Paul's Cathedral.
