MEGHAN'S NIGHTMARE YOU'VE CHOSEN CHARLES OVER ME!

Harry's shock decision is causing problems at home

When news of Prince Harry's plan to attend his father's coronation alone broke last week, the question on everyone's lips was just why his former actress wife, Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, who is known to love the spotlight, had decided to snub what will be one of the world's most historic and photographed events.

As if on cue, the duchess' friend, author Omid Scobie, was quick to release a statement that Meghan had chosen to stay home in Montecito to celebrate her son Archie's fourth birthday instead, which also happens to fall on May 6 - the same day his grandfather King Charles III will officially be crowned.

"I understand that Archie's fourth birthday played a factor in the couple's decision," Omid shared, adding that Harry's trip to the UK would a be a quick one with the 38-year-old duke only set to attend Westminster Abbey before boarding a plane back to his family.
