Despite those numerous reasons, the royal family is said to be fine with the Duchess of Sussex's non-attendance.
King Charles' coronation day falls on the same day as Prince Archie's fourth birthday. Hence, Meghan will stay in the U.S. to be with his son and daughter, Princess Lilibet, though there are several reasons said as to why she will not accompany Prince Harry.
Royal Family Allegedly Fine with Meghan Markle's Absence at King Charles' Coronation
Former BBC reporter Tom Bower told Page Six that the royal family was ok with the former actress missing the historic event.
"I think everyone's delighted she's not coming," he said.
"They made sure that she wasn't going to come by making sure that she was told she'd have to curtsy three times, that she wouldn't be in the spotlight, that she wouldn't play any part in the whole thing, and that if she came, they'd be put in row 54 in the back behind the column," he joked.
Bower wrote the book Revenge: Meghan, Harry and the War Between the Windsors.
