Meghan Markle dismisses claim over why she’s missing coronation

It follows reports she’d written to her father-in-law after appearing with Prince Harry on the Oprah Winfrey Show in March 2021.

During the interview, she claimed a member of the Royal Family had speculated about how dark their unborn son’s skin would be, plunging the monarchy into a racism storm, Sky News reports.

It had been reported in The Daily Telegraph that the letter she sent was a reply to one from Charles, who was the Prince of Wales at the time, in which he expressed his sadness over the split within the family.

A source told the newspaper that Meghan will not attend the King’s coronation on Saturday, May 6 because she feels she did not receive a satisfactory response to her concerns.

How did Meghan respond to this claim?

In a statement released through journalist Omid Scobie, who is close to the Sussexes, the couple said: “The Duchess of Sussex is going about her life in the present, not thinking about correspondence from two years ago related to conversations from four years ago.

“Any suggestion otherwise is false and frankly ridiculous.

“We encourage tabloid media and various other royal correspondents to stop exhausting the circus that they alone are creating.”

Harry is set to attend the coronation in May but Meghan will remain in the United States with their two children.
