Harry to arrive at Coronation 'with group of people to protect’ him, royal expert says

Meghan Markle decided to opt out of attending the coronation of King Charles to "protect her peace", says royal expert and co-author of Finding Freedom, Omid Scobie. The Duchess of Sussex, 41, will not be at the historic occasion at Westminster Abbey on 6 May, although it has been confirmed that her husband Prince Harry will be there.

While Harry is set to return to the UK for the first time since his surprise visit in late March for his High Court hearing, the royal could only be making a short trip.
