Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, was one of the big absentees at King Charles’ coronation. She opted to stay in California with her children Archie and Lili, while Harry did travel to London for a brief and much-criticized trip.
Although many expected to see the Duchess in the rows of Westminster Abbey, that did not happen. However, some were quick to claim that one of the particular guests was actually Meghan who had disguised herself with a wig, glasses, and a fake mustache, but in reality, that person was Sir Karl Jenkins.
Sir Karl Jenkins is Meghan Markle at coronation?
Meghan’s supposed disguise is actually 79-year-old composer Karl Jenkins, who was invited to the ceremony to hear one of his works Tros and Garreg, which played during the coronation at Westminster Abbey. Jenkins was seated next to another great composer: Andrew Lloyd Webber, who in view of the curious theory spoke out on Twitter on the subject.
I can confirm it probably wasn’t MM and had no jewels on his person as far as I could see – ALW https://t.co/kBtHmn8BhL

The composer of Cats (who also contributed his bit to the coronation with the anthem Make a Joyful Noise), clarified that it was not Meghan in disguise.

After all the fuss caused by the comparison between Meghan Markle and Karl Jenkins, it was he himself who used his account on Tik Tok to confirm that he is not Prince Harry’s wife and assure that his hair, glasses, and mustache are part of his usual look.
“This is my look all the time,” he states in the video with quite a sense of humor. And, indeed, this is how he comes off in the video.
