Meghan Markle has denied reports she’s not attending the King’s coronation because of a letter she sent to Charles two years ago.
The Duchess of Sussex reportedly sent a letter to Harry’s father voicing her concerns over unconscious bias in the royal family.
According to the Daily Telegraph, the letter was sent following her appearance with her husband on the Oprah Winfrey Show in March 2021.
During the interview, Meghan claimed there had been speculation about how dark their unborn son’s skin would be by a royal family member.
The newspaper’s source claimed the exchange was one of the reasons why Meghan is not going to the coronation on May 6, saying she felt she did not receive a satisfactory response to her concerns.
A spokesperson for Meghan said: ‘The Duchess of Sussex is going about her life in the present, not thinking about correspondence from two years ago related to conversations from four years ago.
‘Any suggestion otherwise is false and frankly ridiculous.

‘We encourage tabloid media and various royal correspondents to stop the exhausting circus that they alone are creating.’
The paper previously reported Meghan’s letter was sent in response to a letter from Charles, in which he expressed his sadness over the split within the family.
It’s also suggested the letters made clear the identity of the senior royal who made the comment.

The monarchy was plunged into crisis following the claims as the Windsors faced allegations of racism.
