Buckingham Palace confirmed Prince Harry's attendance at King Charles III's upcoming coronation on May 6 at Westminster Abbey. However, the Duke of Sussex won't be accompanied by his wife, Meghan Markle, and a royal expert believed Prince William and Kate Middleton are "relieved" by the Duchess of Sussex's nonattendance.
Meghan will stay in California with Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet as Prince Harry travels to the U.K. to witness King Charles' coronation. That said, Prince William and Kate allegedly don't have to worry about the talks surrounding the royal family if the former actress attends the historic event.
Prince William, Kate Middleton Reportedly 'Relieved' by Meghan Markle's Absence
Eloise Parker told Entertainment Tonight that the Duke and Duchess of Cornwall might feel "relieved" as "less emphasis is going to be on them" due to Meghan's nonattendance.
No one would watch who was looking where and what was happening to them. There would also be no lip reading that would be published everywhere.
"There's such a fever of interest in these relationships, and the truth is we're never going to see a Real Housewives moment between these women," the writer added. "Everything is going to be kept firmly under wraps, and I think for Kate, the fact that Meghan isn't attending helps her keep it that way."
Prince William and Kate have yet to release a statement about Meghan's absence at King Charles' coronation.
