Plenty of people have dragged Meghan Markle for being a no-show at King Charles’ coronation, including Meghan’s former friend, Lizzie Cundy. Cundy, who first met Meghan at a charity event in 2013, slammed the Duchess of Sussex for putting her own priorities above those of her children. “I think it’s a travesty that Lilibet and Archie are not going to be at their grandfather’s coronation,” she told the Mirror. “What will Harry and Meghan say to them when they’re older? When they say, ‘Why weren’t we there at the most historical moment in British history? Why weren’t we on that balcony?'” Cundy added. The TV personality went on to say that she believes Meghan is afraid of getting booed, and would rather not put herself in a difficult position.

However, sources close to Prince Harry and Meghan told Page Six that Meghan’s decision is the result of careful consideration. “[She and Harry] 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 said. “The words that Harry and Meghan have said about the importance of their family are lining up with their actions.” Previously, Meghan has been vocal about the trauma she experienced during her time within the royal family. Her absence at the coronation is simply another way that she’s prioritizing her nuclear family, at the expense of the British monarchy.
