Why Meghan is missing the coronation

On a regular day I find Meghan to be exasperating, but this is just too much.

According to several sources, the reason Meghan will not be joining her husband Harry at the coronation of King Charles is because it will be on the same day as her son Archie’s birthday.

WHHAAA???

I mean I have my views of the royals and I find the whole thing rather ridiculous. That people are still seen as kings and princes in 2023 is ghastly. But the coronation of a king is a pretty big deal. As in historic. Lil Archie can go with his friends to Sky Zone next weekend.

The couple’s friend Omid Scobie confirmed Archie’s birthday ‘played a factor in the couple’s decision’ and he expected it would be a ‘fairly quick trip to the UK’ for Harry. The Duke will only attend the ceremony itself, which is likely to last a few hours.
