Meghan Markle could overshadow the Coronation of King Charles III due to the legal issue she has with her half-sister, Samantha Markle. British media have reported that Meghan is facing a defamation lawsuit filed by her sister, who accuses her of lying to cover up her own “false poverty to wealth” story.
This case has generated a great deal of media buzz and there has been speculation that this one could take all the public attention during the Coronation of King Charles III, which will be on May 6th.
Dickie Arbiter, who was press secretary to the late Queen Elizabeth II and King Charles III, has called the scare a “minefield” between Meghan Markle, Samantha and the Coronation.
Arbiter has also mentioned that the legal dispute between the sisters has the potential to completely divert media attention away from the Coronation of Charles III. It’s a bit like walking through a minefield that has only been half cleared and we really have to wait and see what the judge summarizes.
While it is still unknown whether Meghan Markle and Prince Harry will be invited to the ceremony, there has been speculation that the Duke of Sussex will travel alone to London, while Meghan will stay at home to look after her children and prepare for her trial.
The possibility that this legal case could overshadow one of the most important events, such as the coronation of Charles III has generated great interest in the UK and around the world.
