Meghan Markle’s ‘heartless’ act left Prince Harry ‘all alone’ at King’s coronationRoyal biographer Angela Levin says Meghan Markle was 'heartless' to leave Prince Harry to attend King Charles III's coronation 'all alone'. Ms Levin said the Duchess of Sussex 'didn't put her own feelings away' and didn't come with Prince Harry to support him at the King's coronation. 'I didn't want her to be there but when I saw Harry walk in all alone – his cousins all had a partner and they had comfort and somebody else was there with them, and he was all alone,' Ms Levin told Sky News Australia host Paul Murray. Ms Levin said the Duke of Sussex was 'very, very self conscious' at the event. 'Why can't a wife who really cares about her husband drop everything and is there for them when they're needed.
