It has now been confirmed that the Duke of Sussex will attend King Charles' coronation in May, but his wife, the Duchess of Sussex will not be by his side in London, so where will she be?

Meghan Markle is staying in the US to look after the royal couple's two children Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet so it seems likely that she will remain residing at their magnificent Montecito mansion.

The Duchess' mother Doria Ragland is a two-hour drive away, so there's every chance that she could use the weekend to stop over with Meghan.

Their $14million property is a haven for the children, so they'll have plenty to keep them distracted when their father is away. There is a massive playpark outside for the kids, as well as an outdoor pool.

Inside, each of the children have their own rooms and the couple's Netflix docuseries, Harry & Meghan allowed us to see inside Lilibet's adorable nursery.

The beautiful space features beamed ceilings, a Moses basket cot, wicker storage baskets and a real orchid on a traditional dresser.

The walls include a beautiful leaf motif, and a sweet squirrel can also be seen above the door. This animal addition could be in homage to the wildlife in their garden as Prince Harry has previously revealed that his pet dogs love chasing squirrels in the yard.

In a video call, the Duke explained: "I've got three [dogs] in this house now, so we basically have five children. I've got a black Labrador called Pula, a rescue beagle called Guy, and we've got another rescue beagle called Mia.

“And between the three of them, they charge around chasing squirrels and causing all sorts of problems to us every single day."

Will Meghan Markle be watching the coronation?

While the Duchess hasn't spoken out about if she will be watching the King's coronation, she could well tune in from her family home. Harry and Meghan have a cosy TV room inside their home, which is where they sat together and watched their Oprah interview when it aired for the first time.
