A big event is approaching for the British royal family and those who like to watch them, especially in times of pomp and circumstance, as the celebration of King Charles’ coronation is fast approaching, and his actual coronation is scheduled for May 6. over the public consciousness, probably much to the chagrin of several members of the royal family involved, will Prince Harry and Meghan Markle attend and what role they will play in the celebrations. Now Oprah Winfrey has commented on what she thinks the couple should do.
What does Oprah Winfrey say about whether Harry and Meghan should attend the coronation of King Charles?
Broadcasting legend Winfrey was a close friend of Harry and Meghan long before they gave their first high-profile interview after leaving the royal family. She also attended their wedding, so it makes sense that during a recent interview on CBS Mornings, she was asked what she thought about whether the couple should return to England for the coronation, amid all the rumors and speculation. . Winfrey briefly expressed her opinion on this, which you can see in this short video:
While this can be seen as a perfectly typical Oprah response, it is also quite logical. All anyone can do in any situation is try to make the best decision for themselves and their family, and Meghan and Harry definitely have a lot to think about when it comes to attending the coronation.
What is happening with the coronation of King Charles in relation to Harry and Meghan?
For a long time, royal observers wondered whether the Sussexs would be invited to the coronation at all, given that in the months since the death of Queen Elizabeth II, both the popular Netflix documentary “Harry and Meghan” and the prince’s candid memoirs were filmed. , To spare, reveal secrets and bring additional charges against his family, which reportedly led to even more hostility between them and other members of the royal family.
Although it now seems that they were invited, rumor has it that they were told that their presence depended on whether they would behave according to the royal rules that were set for them (including that they were only allowed to make small talk). with senior members of the royal family). They will also most likely not appear with other members of the royal family during the event, as some parts (such as waving from the balcony) will only be available to working members of the royal family.
We have also recently heard reports that since Harry and Meghan have given up their royal duties in 2020, they will not be included in the procession for the coronation, and that their children have not been invited to the event at all. While another report from OK! (via The Sun) has one insider claiming that the Sussex family actually insist that their entire family, including 3-year-old Archie and 1-year-old Lilibet, be on the balcony of the palace, probably because the coronation takes place on the same day. like Archie’s birthday.
In addition, they were recently evicted from Frogmore Cottage, so if they come, they will probably have to stay at Buckingham Palace, where they may not feel as safe and comfortable as if they were in their own home. Let’s take another look at what Winfrey said, given everything that has happened recently, and what the couple should take into account before making a final decision on this big day:
I think they should do what they think is best for them and their family. That’s what I think. That’s the point, it all boils down to the following: “What do you think is right for you?” They didn’t ask for my opinion. No, they don’t.
How one can come to such a decision when the noise around him is so public, I do not understand. Unfortunately, it seems like a situation where, no matter what they do, people will have something negative to say about it, so we hope they will deal with any consequences that may come their way.
