Massive SNUB against Good King Charles

Nothing to do with her race or gender, but AMERICANS as a nationality (and one of THE most powerful and imperialist nationalities in the world, so I am not being 'anti-woke' when I say this), seem to HATE the idea of families. The fact that Meghan doesn't get on with either her in-laws or her own family is evidence of this, and I rarely hear Europeans, Africans, Asians or South Americans badmouth and put down their families with as much venom and contempt as the average American.

Yep, just stay away.

There's a rumour going around that she's missing it because she doesn't want to have to curtsy to Kate (as she'd have to as Kate is now Princess of Wales).

I personally don't think it cost him anything. While we will never know what, if any, demands were made in order for the two of them to attend, I think Harry will make an appearance at the coronation and that will be the only time anyone will see him.

Having the one POC in the entire family, stay at home is really BAD optics, and won't endear Charles to the younger and minority subjects he needs if his reign is to remotely thrive long-term. If he has ANY sense, he'll bend over backwards to make amends with Meg (whether she does or doesn't deserve it). Look at all the musical acts that have effectively boycotted his coronation. He's leading a divided monarchy right now, and the only way he can possibly fix it, is by redeeming himself and the family in the eyes of Meghan.

Although Harry and Meghan aren't especially popular in private, as a multi-racial couple, they still symbolise a more progressive ideal than the one represented by the monarchy, and few hip, modern artists/celebs will want to align themselves with an institution perceived, perhaps quite justifiably, as racist and out-of-touch.

Just like the Duke of Windsor being told to leave Wallis at home whenever he attended important RF events.

An 'actress'? You mean, Suits? 🤣😂🤣 Yeah, because her 'acting' career wasn't bullshit, right?

And the rest will no doubt be "How will the coronation effect house prices?"...

Good points. It is indeed sad in this day and age - especially when around the world, due to social media largely, we have passed even looking for equality in favour of representation - that we have an entire country willfully bowing before their very aged, very white literal Imperial master.
