Read our privacy policy Meghan Markle has denied reports claiming that her decision not to attend Charles’s coronation was influenced by correspondence between herself and the then-Prince of Wales. Harry added that “the British press said that” and he wouldn’t describe the comment about Archie’s skin colour as racist “having lived in that family”. After months of speculation over whether Harry and Meghan would attend the King’s coronation next month, Buckingham Palace announced on 12 April that the Duke of Sussex would fly to the UK for the ceremony. At the time, Harry and Meghan’s biographer Scobie tweeted that Archie’s fourth birthday, which coincides with the coronation on 6 May, “played a factor in the couple’s decision”.
