Meghan Markle is said to be "overwhelmed" following all the negative scrutiny she and Prince Harry have received from their tell-alls, leaving many to wonder if they’ll attend the coronation.

Harry’s father, King Charles III, will be crowned alongside Camilla, the queen consort, on May 6 at London’s Westminster Abbey. It’s uncertain whether the Duke and Duchess of Sussex will attend.

"Meghan is upset and overwhelmed," Kinsey Schofield, host of the "To Di For Daily" podcast, told Fox News Digital.

"It’s not that Meghan feels excluded with the planning," she claimed. "Meghan feels like the palace is only fighting for Prince Harry to attend and they don’t care whether she shows up or not. And that does not sit well with her. Rejection is one of Meghan's greatest insecurities. She does not want to be booed or humiliated on a global scale, yet she understands that her brand stateside increases in value with her proximity to the royal family."

MEGHAN MARKLE’S NEWLY RESURFACED BLOG REVEALS CLOSE BOND WITH NOW-ESTRANGED FATHER AMID NEW WAR WITH SISTER

The former American actress and her spouse have faced intense media scrutiny following their six-part Netflix docuseries "Harry & Meghan" and Harry’s explosive memoir "Spare." In January's sit-down with ITV’s Tom Bradby, Harry didn’t confirm if he would accept an invitation to his father’s coronation.

"There’s a lot that can happen between now and then," said the 38-year-old. "But the door is always open. The ball is in their court… There’s a lot to be discussed, and I really hope that they’re willing to sit down and talk about it."

Schofield pointed out that allegedly, Harry wants "to secure a meeting" with the king, 74, and Prince William so that he doesn’t "feel iced out throughout the event." However, it is believed palace staff have told Harry "the king is too busy."

"If Harry does attend, I expect that he will feel a sense of loneliness," said Schofield.

Several royal experts have speculated that the significant drop in the couple’s popularity in the U.K. might make them think twice about their travel plans for Charles’ big day.

"It's increasingly beginning to look as if Harry and Meghan might well opt out of the coronation," Christopher Andersen, author of "The King," told Fox News Digital. "There are genuine security concerns, to be sure, and then there is the prospect of the Sussexes being roundly booed. Harry and Megan are still licking their wounds over having been sidelined during the queen's funeral [in September]. It's highly doubtful that they would be willing to face the prospect of that sort of public humiliation again, particularly on [their son] Archie's birthday."

"The fracture has been seismic, particularly in light of Harry's scathing attacks on his brother in ‘Spare,’" Andersen shared. "Harry and Meghan can't possibly imagine that William and [his wife] Kate [Middleton] will greet him with open arms, or at this point even pretend to regard the Sussexes with anything other than chilly disdain."

Despite the former "Suits" star allegedly being cast aside, Andersen doesn’t believe she will stay behind in California.

MEGHAN MARKLE ‘NEEDS A WIN’ AMID NEGATIVE ‘SOUTH PARK’ PORTRAYAL, LEGAL WAR WITH ESTRANGED HALF SISTER: EXPERT

"Would Harry attend alone? Not likely, in light of Archie's birthday – and the fact that Harry and Meghan have to put up a united front," he pointed out. "Anything less than that would lead to speculation that perhaps Harry is having second thoughts about turning his back on the monarchy."

Schofield, on the other hand, is placing her bets on Harry attending the coronation alone while the duchess stays home with their two young children – away from the British press.

"I think there is a possibility that Harry could do a quick turnaround for the coronation alone," Schofield explained. "He did say during the Netflix documentary that he missed aspects of royal life and I believe traditions are one of them. Based on his military experience, duty is also important to him and there is a sense that it is his duty to attend as the son of the sovereign."

"He felt comfortable enough to attend Prince Philip's initial funeral service alone," Schofield continued. "Harry reveals in ‘Spare’ that Prince William and their father attempted to confront him about his interview with Oprah Winfrey [in 2021] at that time. While ‘Willy’ desperately pleaded with his brother that he loves him... Harry seemed to reject the outreach."

MEGHAN MARKLE HAS BEEN 'UPSET AND OVERWHELMED' BY PORTRAYAL ON 'SOUTH PARK' EPISODE: REPORT

Sources recently told The Daily Telegraph it’s a complicated situation. If the couple opts out, they’ll be accused of "snubbing" the royal family. But if the Sussexes attend, they’re at risk of "being booed or labeled hypocrites." Friends of the couple also alleged to the outlet that the Sussexes will not make a decision about attending the coronation until they receive a formal invitation. And if they do attend, the visit would be "brief."

"They are being invited and have been encouraged to respond in a timely manner," royal expert Hilary Fordwich told Fox News Digital. "If they do attend, they must ‘stick to the plan.’ This is considered both good manners and, of course, for planning purposes."

"Given the date falls on Archie’s 4th birthday, Meghan has the perfect out," Fordwich revealed. "Harry is likely to be in a hurry and beyond harried… If they decline, they will look petty. If they accept, they are then open to charges of hypocrisy and will be questioned regarding the legitimacy of their claims. Worse yet, if one or both of them attend neither the king nor the royals or even security will be able to control the potential negative sentiment expressed by the British public."

"It’s a lose-lose situation for them," Fordwich added. "Being a laughingstock is not what Meghan nor Harry set out to accomplish."

MEGHAN MARKLE'S HALF-SISTER WANTS PRINCE HARRY TO TESTIFY IN DEFAMATION LAWSUIT OVER OPRAH WINFREY TELL-ALL

Harry admitted to Bradby that he wants his father and brother back, noting he yearns for "a family, not an institution." He has previously spoken about his estrangement from his father and elder brother since he departed from the U.K.

In early 2020, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex announced that they were quitting royal duties and moving to North America, citing what they said were the unbearable intrusions and racist attitudes of the British media. They now reside in Montecito, California, with their two young children.

Charles, who became king after the death of Queen Elizabeth II in September, faces the challenge of modernizing Britain’s 1,000-year-old monarchy to guarantee its survival. He has already said he plans to reduce the number of working royals and reduce the cost of the monarchy.

Six United States Marines raised the American flag atop Mount Suribachi amid horrific combat on Iwo Jima, the intense wartime scene captured in perfect angle and frame by photographer Joseph Rosenthal, on this day in history, Feb. 23, 1945. 

The raw power of the image instantly gripped a nation at war with Nazi Germany in Europe and imperial Japan in the Pacific — young American fighting men unfurling the Stars and Stripes on a remote island far from home in World War II. 

Its power endures today. 

ON THIS DAY IN HISTORY, FEB. 22, 1980, US OLYMPIC MEN'S HOCKEY TEAM SHOCKS SOVIETS IN ‘MIRACLE ON ICE’

"The flag raising became a symbol synonymous with American victory in World War II and what the nation can accomplish when we all pull together and unite for a just cause," Owen Connor, senior curator of the National Museum of the Marine Corps, told Fox News Digital

The photograph hit the front page of almost every newspaper in the United States within days. 

It's been duplicated and admired endlessly through the decades and endures as the most powerful image of heroism in American history.

The Marines in the photo represent a broad cross-section of the American people. 

The latest research indicates that the men are, from left: Pfc. Ira Hayes, 22, a book-loving Pima native from Sacaton, Arizona; Pfc. Harold Schultz, 20, of Detroit, who lied about his age to join the Corps after Pearl Harbor; Sgt. Michael Strank, 25, born in what's now Slovakia and raised in Franklin Borough, Pennsylvania; Pfc. Franklin Sousley, 19, a factory worker from Hill Top, Kentucky; Harold Keller, 23, a telephone lineman from Brooklyn, Iowa; and Cpl. Harlon Block, 20, a star high school football player from Welasco, Texas. 

MEET THE AMERICAN WHO FIRST COMMANDED THE MARINES: REVOLUTIONARY WAR HERO SAMUEL NICHOLAS

Block, Sousley and Strank were all killed on Iwo Jima, a volcanic island about 700 miles south of Tokyo. 

The Marines invaded Iwo Jima on Feb. 19, its capture deemed essential to tightening the noose around the Japanese homeland. 

"It took four days for the Marines to reach the summit of Suribachi," the Department of Defense reports. 

"The taking of the 554-foot hill was significant, in that it suppressed the fires from Japanese who were dug in and who had prime vantage of much of the island."

The fighting continued until March 26.

Iwo Jima is considered by many historians the greatest battle in Marine Corps history. 

About 27,000 Marines and sailors were killed or wounded in a month of combat.

Almost all 21,000 Japanese defenders, fighting from entrenched caves, tunnels and pillboxes, were killed; only 216 were taken prisoner.

Twenty-seven Marines and Navy Corpsmen earned the Medal of Honor on Iwo Jima, more than any other battle in U.S. history, according to the National World War II Museum.

"Uncommon valor was a common virtue," Admiral Chester W. Nimitz, who commanded the Navy war effort in the Pacific, said of Iwo Jima. 

"The photo became in many ways one of the first media events of the 20th century," said Connor.

"Due to the speed in which the image went from the battlefield to Sunday newspapers in the United States (48 hours), it took on even greater meaning to a nation."

The federal government immediately seized on the power of the photo to aid the war effort. 

"The photo was the centerpiece of a war-bond poster that helped raise $26 billion in 1945," the Pulitzer Prize Board writes in its online account of the image.

"On July 11, before the war had ended, it appeared on a United States postage stamp. Nine years later it became the model for the Marine Corps War Memorial in Arlington, Virginia."

MEET THE AMERICAN WHO FOUGHT AND DIED AT THE ALAMO BUT LIVED TO TELL ITS HEROIC TALE: SLAVE JOE

The Pulitzer board normally issues its awards for journalism from the previous year.

It made an exception for Rosenthal’s photograph — which was awarded the Pulitzer Prize in April, just two months after it was taken.

The Battle of Iwo Jima has been immortalized in numerous books, movies and even popular music.

"The Ballad of Ira Hayes" tells the sad tale of the Pima flag-raiser. It was recorded by many artists, including Bob Dylan, and became a hit for Johnny Cash in 1961. 

The image's meaning to millions of Americans still today is deeper and more powerful than the deserved acclaim among journalists and artists.

The raising of Old Glory far from home amid the savagery of global war represents the terrible human struggle to end the tyranny and slavery that ruled the world in the 1940s — for which the American people and their Allies fought to end in World War II at a terrible human cost.

The identity of the men in the photo has been a source of considerable controversy in recent years. The confusion was caused by numerous factors.

Navy Corpsman John Bradley was one of the men long identified as a flag raiser. 

His son James Bradley wrote the powerful 2000 history of Iwo Jima, "Flags of Our Fathers," an intense look at the horror of Iwo Jima and the lives of the men in the photo. 

It was learned in recent years that Corpsman Bradley was not among the six men in the photo. 

He remains no less a hero.

The book written by his grateful son stands as one of the best ever written on the brutality of war and the cost paid by the men who fought and died in World War II.

"Their collective image," Bradley writes in the book of the boys in the photos, "blurred and indistinct yet unforgettable, became the most recognized, the most reproduced, in the history of photography."

He added, "The flag-raising on Iwo Jima became a symbol of the island, the mountain, the battle; of World War II; the highest ideals of the nation, of valor incarnate."
