The Duchess of Sussex chose not to attend the media event less than a week before the coronation of her father-in-law, King Charles III of England.
Meghan Markle missed this year's Met Gala, quashing all predictions that the Duchess of Sussex would flaunt her fashion sense at the star-studded event.
Several reports claimed that the Duchess of Sussex would bring a lot of "drama and media attention" to the annual fashion event in New York.
However, the former Suits star decided to stay home with her children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, and her husband, Prince Harry.
Less than a week before her father-in-law's coronation, a crazy rumor arose that Meghan could fly to the United Kingdom to meet King Charles III secretly before the grand event next Saturday at Westminster Abbey. Prince Harry confirmed his presence at the event, without Meghan or her children, and will return to California as soon as the event ends.
The Sussexes are preparing the fourth birthday of their first-born Archie, which falls on the same Saturday as the coronation. The celebration could bring together several celebrity friends of the couple such as Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi, former tennis player Serena Williams, Priyanka Chopra, Jameela Jamil and George Clooney, among others.
