Kate Middleton ‘relieved’ Meghan Markle skipping coronation: report

Buckingham Palace confirmed Wednesday that Meghan Markle won’t be attending King Charles’ coronation ceremony next month — and at least one royal is reportedly relieved by the news.

Kate Middleton, 41, is said to be pleased that she won’t have to come face-to-face with Markle, 41, after Prince Harry, 38, revealed private details of their 2018 squabble over a bridesmaid dress.

“It would have been particularly uncomfortable for Kate,” an unidentified royal observer told the Daily Mail on Wednesday.

The source added that the future queen isn’t the only one thankful Markle has opted out of attending.

“Charles will [also] be pleased,” the person declared. “The rest of the family will [also] be relieved that Meghan won’t be there.”

While Markle will stay home in Montecito with their children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, Harry will head to London to attend the coronation alone.

“Buckingham Palace is pleased to confirm that the Duke of Sussex will attend the coronation service at Westminster Abbey on May 6,” a spokesperson stated. “The Duchess of Sussex will remain in California with Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.”

While royal watchers had long suspected fractious relations between Kate and Markle, Harry divulged details of the sisters-in-law spat in his bombshell memoir, “Spare,” released in January.

In the controversial tome, Harry alleges that Kate started a passive-aggressive argument via text four days before his 2018 wedding to Markle that left the “Suits” star “sobbing on the floor.”

Kate’s daughter, Princess Charlotte, now 7, was set to serve as a bridesmaid at the royal wedding. According to Harry, Kate messaged Markle to complain that the youngster’s dress did not fit correctly.

The two women reportedly had a tense “back and forth” message exchange that greatly upset Markle.

However, when the incident subsequently leaked to the media, reports claimed it was Markle who had made Kate cry.

Palace officials allegedly refused to issue a public statement disputing such reports, which fueled Harry’s anger toward his royal relatives.

In her 2021 interview with Oprah Winfrey, Markle stated that she was actually the one who had been reduced to tears during the tiff and complained that staffers had refused to correct the record.

Meanwhile, Markle also subtly shaded her sister-in-law in last year’s Netflix docuseries “Harry & Meghan.”

In the series, the actress-turned-podcaster claimed she was wearing “ripped jeans and [was] barefoot” when Kate and her husband Prince William arrived to meet her for the first time.

“Like, I was a hugger, always been a hugger. I didn’t realize that that is really jarring for a lot of Brits,” Markle claimed, implying she got a frosty reception from the future king and queen.

Kate’s camp clapped back at Markle’s hugger trash talk, however, with an unidentified pal later telling People magazine: “Kate’s a big hugger. She is warm and friendly and greets everyone with a big hug and kiss. It comes naturally to her to be like that.”
