Meghan Markle will not be joining Prince Harry at King Charles' coronation on May 6.

One royal expert calls this "the best compromise," especially considering that Prince Archie's fourth birthday is on the same day, but a celebrity stylist and royal fashion expert points out that not seeing the Duchess of Sussex in her finery is a little disappointing from an attire perspective She noted, "It's a bit of a shame, from an outfit point of view.

(But of course, we're all glad she made the right decision for her, and it's kind of fun to imagine what she would have worn had she chosen to attend.)

"Whether you're Team Meghan or not, there's no denying that her absence at the coronation is a shame from a fashion standpoint," Miranda Holder told Express. Meghan's style was innately relaxed and natural compared to the sophisticated sophistication of Princess Kate Middleton, who looked happiest and most radiant in her "California cool" outfit of jeans and an oversized shirt"

.

Meghan most memorably wore this look when she went to support Prince Harry's initiative at the 2017 Invictus Games in Toronto.

"Despite the more casual approach, the Duchess definitely brought her own 'brand of fabulous' to a big national occasion like the Queen's Jubilee," Holder added.

To celebrate the Jubilee, Meghan wore an all-white outfit that included a vintage Dior dress and matching hat and shoes.

"Meghan dressed well and went all out with her wardrobe choices to create positive PR in an increasingly difficult time," Holder continued.

"If she had attended the coronation, her look, or outfit (she is, after all, an actress), must also have been carefully chosen to win people's hearts.

"It would have been a clever fashion move for the Duchess to dress herself in a beloved British designer for her coronation.

Of course, Meghan's decision not to attend the coronation may also have been to avoid the intense media scrutiny she would face and the harsh criticism she would receive in the UK.

Holder has also previously commented on the possibility of an outfit for Princess Kate's coronation.
