Tensions between the royal family and Prince Harry are undoubtedly high after the release of a documentary series about him and Meghan Markle on Netflix and his candid memoir Spare, the release of which became a record this month. This makes it even more embarrassing that the palace is in the midst of planning the coronation of King Charles in May, including the roles that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex will play in it. Although nothing has been officially made public about Harry and Meghan, insiders from the royal family believe it is unlikely that they will appear alongside the rest of the royal family at the big event.
Coronation Day will take place on Saturday, May 6, when Charles and Camilla will travel from Buckingham Palace to Westminster Abbey for a ceremony accompanied by a grand parade in each direction. Upon returning to the palace, the king and Queen Consort will be joined by family members to wave from the balcony, and it is believed that, as at last year’s platinum jubilee of the queen, this moment will be limited to working members of the royal family, reports The Mirror. with the exception of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, as well as Prince Andrew, who resigned from his official position in 2019 after allegations of sexual abuse.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex decided to give up their royal duties in 2020 and moved to the United States, and after the wild statements made by Prince Harry in Spain about his family, many wondered if he and Meghan Markle would be invited to the coronation at all. . Royal commentator Ingrid Seward told The Sun she thinks Harry will be there, with or without his wife. According to the source:
I’m sure Harry will be there. How can he not come to his father’s coronation after writing a whole book about forgiveness? I’m not sure about Megan.
Further complicating the situation is the fact that the Coronation Day — the first of the three—day holidays – falls on the 4th birthday of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s son Archie, who was at the center of one of the most high-profile accusations made against the royal family. During a 2021 interview with Oprah Winfrey, the Duchess of Sussex said that when she was pregnant with Archie, Harry was approached by unnamed members of his family with “concerns” about the baby’s skin color.
In Spare, Prince Harry made a number of statements regarding King Charles, Camilla, Prince William and Kate Middleton. He wrote about the attack by his brother after he and the Prince of Wales quarreled over Meghan Markle, and said his brother and Kate encouraged him to wear a Nazi costume to a party in 2005. inspiring the title of the book (which is perhaps more violent when translated to other countries), and said that Camilla sacrificed it to the media to restore her own public image.
Surely in the coming months, Prince Harry’s plans for the coronation will still be. Meanwhile, Spare is available for purchase in several formats, and Harry and Meghan can be streamed on a Netflix subscription.
