It had previously been announced that the Duchess of Sussex would not be attending the coronation alongside husband Prince Harry, remaining in the U.S. with the couple’s children.
Twitter users jokingly speculated, though, Markle had attended the ceremony, donning a wig, moustache and sunglasses to disguise herself.
But the composer took to TikTok this week to dispel the rumours, telling followers, “I understand there has been a lot of interest in me since I appeared at the coronation of King Charles III.”
“I was there because I’d written some music, for the service really. I was quite surprised that some people thought I was Meghan Markle in disguise,” he continued, laughing. “Someone wrote I was there to steal the crown jewels. I look this way all the time!”

He's also reported to have had zero interaction with his father or brother, Prince William, during the historic proceedings.As for whether he made it back in time for Archie's fourth birthday party, Scobie said that's a little less likely.
