Meghan Markle stays in California while Harry’s extended bow at the Coronation catches attention
The Duke of Sussex made headlines once again during King Charles’ Coronation, as he attended the historic event without his wife, Meghan Markle, who remained in California with their children. Despite his strained relationship with the royal family, Harry maintained a calm and composed appearance throughout his brief trip to the UK.
Meghan reportedly chose not to attend, citing concerns about causing unnecessary drama and feeling that her presence might seem "inauthentic" during such a significant occasion. Harry, however, made the journey alone, joining his cousins and their spouses at Westminster Abbey.
One particular moment that caught the public’s attention was Harry’s respectful but subtle bow to King Charles. Positioned in the third row, away from his brother, Prince William, the Duke of Sussex bowed longer than most of the other men in attendance as the National Anthem concluded. This gesture has sparked speculation about its deeper meaning, given the ongoing tensions within the family.
Although Harry remained mostly distant from other senior royals during the ceremony, his prolonged bow toward his father did not go unnoticed, adding another layer of intrigue to his relationship with the monarchy.
Royal commentator Robert Hardman highlighted this moment in his book, noting the significance of Harry’s actions during the ceremony. Meanwhile, discussions have emerged about the potential for Harry and Meghan to release a follow-up to the Duke’s controversial memoir, Spare, which could further strain their ties with the royal family.
