The Duchess of Sussex blasted the report as "ridiculous and false"

Meghan Markle has been seen for the first time since she released a statement responding to claims she was not going to King Charles's Coronation due to receiving an unsatisfactory response to concerns she raised about "unconscious bias" in the monarchy.

The Duchess of Sussex blasted the report as "ridiculous and false".


On Saturday, a spokesperson for Meghan Markle told GB News: "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."

Meghan has now been pictured, for the first time since her statement, at a TedTalk where she introduced her close friend Misan Harriman in a pre-recorded clip.

Photographer Misan posted pictures of the Ted Talk on Instagram with the caption: "The Duchess of Sussex was kind enough to introduce me onto the stage for my @ted.

"Thank you for the support, Meg."

It comes as the Telegraph reported that Meghan expressed her concerns about unconscious bias in the Royal family in a letter to Charles following her interview with Oprah Winfrey.

A source told the newspaper that Meghan still feels she has not received a satisfactory response to the concerns she raised to the Royal Family.

During the television interview in 2021, Meghan claimed that a member of the monarchy had speculated about the colour of her unborn Archie's skin.

Meghan's letter to Charles was sent in reply to one he had sent her and in their letters, they identify the member of the Royal Family who made the comment.

Charles and Meghan both acknowledged that the remark was not made with malice, according to a source.

Earlier this month, it was announced that Prince Harry will attend King Charles's Coronation without Meghan.

The Duchess of Sussex will stay in California with their young children Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.

The Palace said in a statement: "Buckingham Palace is pleased to confirm that the Duke of Sussex will attend the Coronation Service at Westminster Abbey on 6th May.

"The Duchess of Sussex will remain in California with Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet."
