It would be “inauthentic” for Meghan Markle to go to King Charles’ coronation after all that has happened between her and the royal family — but the Duchess of Sussex fully supports Prince Harry’s decision to attend the ceremony, sources tell Pvnew
“They had to make a decision that felt genuine and authentic, especially after everything that has been said and all the things that have gone down,” an insider familiar with the family says.
“The words that Harry and Meghan have said about the importance of their family are lining up with their actions.
“They care about their family, so Meghan is going to stay [in California] and Harry is going to support his dad.”
Markle, 41, famously said of her suffering at the hands of the royal family: “I think forgiveness is really important. It takes a lot more energy to not forgive.
“But it takes a lot of effort to forgive. I’ve really made an active effort.”
Harry’s decision to attend the coronation was a lengthy process that spanned weeks, the insider explains.
“It’s a decision they made together as a family.”
Amid reports of Markle’s controlling nature, the insider adds: “If she was super controlling, then she could have made sure that Harry didn’t go. She’s all good, she supports Harry — they both have nothing more to prove.”
We’re told that Harry — who has said that he wanted an apology from his father to himself and Markle — will only make a quick trip to London for the coronation on May 6, which falls on the same day as son Prince Archie’s 4th birthday.
Another source who knows the Sussexes tells us: “There is not one right answer. Prince Harry is going to support his dad … and then he’ll be coming home as soon as possible to be with his son.”
“For all the people who say they want to be half in and half out of the royal family, this proves just the opposite.”
It was widely accepted by palace staff that Archie and his 1-year-old sister, Princess Lilibet, would be too young to attend the coronation ceremony at Westminster Abbey next month.
Similarly, Pvnew reported that Prince William and Kate Middleton will not make a decision on 4-year-old son Prince Louis’ attendance until closer to the day, due to his age.
The Sussexes, who are now in talks about next projects with Netflix and a host of other work, are said to have moved on from their tumultuous relationship with the working royals.
“They have a comfort in California and an optimism in their future,” the source says. “They’re building a future that is in peace with their family in the UK.”
