'Royal rift between Meghan Markle and King Charles'
Amid the buzz surrounding Charles' coronation on May 6, the Duke will be seated 10 rows behind the rest of the royals and make a prompt exit, according to a royal associate. A friend of the Sussex's said 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. As for Megan it was recently made known the Duchess was dodging the Coronation after the royal family failed to address "unconscious bias" before moving to the US.
Meghan allegedly wrote a letter to Charles naming a royal who made a "skin color" comment about their son and accused the monarchy of "unconscious bias" after her explosive Oprah interview in 2021. The Duchess of Sussex's letter was reportedly sent in reply to one from Charles himself. A source told the Daily Telegraph that Meghan would not attend the Coronation because she received an unsatisfactory response from the King.
The press secretary, Ashley Hansen, insisted, "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," as reported by Daily Mail. However, she also added, "Any suggestion otherwise is false and frankly ridiculous. We encourage tabloid media and various royal correspondents to stop the exhausting circus that they alone are creating."
'Where's the kiss cam when we need it!'
Internet users were thrilled to see the giddy couple in good spirits. One user wrote, "Awwww they look amazing and so happy." Another added, "They are so nunus, when you not only love each other but actually like each other." A third stated, "Damn, they look good!" "Tomorrow UK will turning this beautiful moment into something negative," read a tweet. One user simply shared a gif of Harry and Meghan. Another tweeted, "Where's the kiss cam when we need it! Lol.
They are so nunus🥰🥰, when you not only love each other but actually like each other.
