Meghan Markle is unlikely to visit the UK in 2024, according to a royal commentator.

Prince Harry attended King Charles's Coronation on his own in May after Meghan Markle decided to stay away from the landmark event.

Reports claimed that a fear of being booed by UK crowds was a factor in the Duchess of Sussex's decision to miss the event.
