Meghan Markle 'fully supports' Prince Harry's decision to attend coronation without her

Meghan Markle "fully supports" Prince Harry's attending King Charles' Coronation alone, a source has suggested.

It was announced on wednesday that Harry would attend the Coronation while Meghan and their two children Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet while remain at their home in California.

A source told Page Six that Meghan is in full support of the decision that the couple made as a pair.

"They had to make a decision that felt genuine and authentic, especially after everything that has been said and all the things that have gone down," they said.

“The words that Harry and Meghan have said about the importance of their family are lining up with their actions. They care about their family, so Meghan is going to stay [in California] and Harry is going to support his dad."

Reports that Meghan was controlling were quickly dismissed by the insider who is familiar with the family. They explained: "It’s a decision they made together as a family."

"If she was super controlling, then she could have made sure that Harry didn’t go," the insider continued. "She’s all good, she supports Harry — they both have nothing more to prove."

"The couple are building a future that is in peace with their family in the UK. They have a comfort in California and an optimism in their future."

Harry will reportedly only make a quick trip to the Coronation in London on May 6th, which falls on the same day as his son Archie's 4th birthday.

A source close to the Sussexes said: "There is not one right answer. Prince Harry is going to support his dad … and then he’ll be coming home as soon as possible to be with his son.

"For all the people who say they want to be half in and half out of the royal family, this proves just the opposite."

It's been reported that palace staff accept that Archie and Lillibet would be "too young" to attend the coronation ceremony. Meanwhile, Prince Louis attendance won't be decided upon until closer to the date.

“He’s only 4, after all," an insider told Page Six.
