Meghan Markle goes for walk near Californian home during King Charles’ coronation

Meghan Markle has been spotted for the first time since giving her father-in-law’s coronation a wide berth.

The Duchess of Sussex went hiking without husband Prince Harry near their multimillion-dollar California mansion as the festivities for King Charles III were happening in the UK.

Dressed in an all-black athletic ensemble, she was joined on her walk by close friends Markus Anderson and Heather Dorak on Sunday.

Meghan was noticeably absent from the royal festivities in Britain as she remained in the US to celebrate her son Archie’s birthday.

Harry rushed back to California immediately after the coronation ceremony on Saturday to be there for the youngster’s big day.

The Duchess has known Mr Anderson and Ms Dorak for several years.

Mr Anderson holds a senior position at the Soho House private members’ club and has known the 41-year-old since she was based in Canada for TV show Suits.

Meanwhile, Ms Dorak is Meghan’s pilates and yoga instructor.

Her outing came a day after Harry attended his father King Charles’ coronation at Westminster Abbey in London.

He slipped out of the venue with only the briefest of goodbyes and headed straight for Heathrow Airport in a blacked-out electric BMW immediately after the ceremony.

After just 28 hours and 42 minutes in the UK, he was on the plane to California before his father and stepmother Queen Camilla had even finished having their official portraits taken.

Harry was pictured smiling broadly as he arrived at the airport’s Windsor suite before boarding his British Airways flight — still in morning suit and sporting his medals.

Saturday was his son Archie’s fourth birthday, with the youngster enjoying a low-key party at home as his cousins took centre stage at the coronation.

Sources close to the Sussexes said that he had a “private celebration” at home in Montecito, enjoying a lemon cake baked by his mother using fruit from their garden.
