Meghan Markle Makes First Public Appearance Since Announcing She Will Not Attend King Charles’ Coronation
Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, has made her first public appearance since confirming that she will not be attending King Charles’ coronation with her husband Prince Harry. In a pre-recorded message, the duchess showcased her newly straightened and lightened hairstyle while introducing her friend and photographer Misan Harriman ahead of his recent Ted Talk. Buckingham Palace announced earlier this month that Meghan will remain in California with their two children while Prince Harry travels to London for his father’s coronation. Meghan has denied reports that her decision not to attend the coronation was influenced by correspondence between herself and the then-Prince of Wales. In the video introduction, she praised Harriman’s work as an activist and concluded the brief video message by introducing him to the stage. Harriman is widely recognized for capturing photographs during the Black Lives Matter movement and photographed the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s daughter, Princess Lilibet, on her first birthday. Meghan’s appearance has received praise from fans and supporters of the duchess.
