Royal Drama Unfolds: Harry and Meghan’s Uncertain Role in King Charles’ Coronation

If Prince Harry and Meghan Markle decide to attend King Charles' coronation, they will not make an appearance on the balcony of Buckingham Palace.

Reports suggest that Princess Anne and Sir Timothy will be bestowed with a special honor during the upcoming ceremony.

Despite being formally invited to the event in May, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are not expected to have a significant role if they choose to travel from California to the UK.

Speculations indicate that Harry and Meghan may not partake in the family parade or join other royals on the iconic palace balcony.

A definitive decision regarding their attendance, encompassing a 5,000-mile journey, remains undisclosed by their representatives.

The Sun reported that representatives for the Sussexes and Buckingham Palace have been contacted for comments.

The coronation saga adds to the ongoing turmoil within the royal family since Harry and Meghan stepped back as senior members in 2020.

Their absence from last summer's Queen's Platinum Jubilee festivities stirred controversy, leading to tensions.

The scheduled coronation date of May 6 coincides with Archie's fourth birthday, fueling speculation that it was deliberately chosen to provoke the Sussexes.

The timing is noteworthy as it follows Charles' request for the couple to vacate Frogmore Cottage, just a day after Harry's memoir excerpts were released in January.

The late Queen Elizabeth II had gifted the property to the couple as a wedding present.

Currently residing in California with their children, Harry, Meghan, and their daughter Lilibet now live in a lavish estate valued at $14 million.

Meanwhile, Prince Andrew's relocation to Frogmore Cottage has raised doubts about his participation in his brother's coronation.

Speculation arose concerning Andrew's ceremonial attire after reports suggested he may not be permitted to wear his robes.

Sources revealed Andrew's discontent over feeling excluded from decisions regarding the dress code for the event.

In a separate development, Sarah Ferguson is anticipated to have a significant role at the upcoming Oscars ceremony as part of her rebranding efforts.

With Elvis nominated for eight awards, including intimate ties to the Presley family, the Duchess of York may present an award at the prestigious event.

Recent engagements promoting her novels in the U.S. have fueled rumors of her appearance at the Oscars, given her close relationship with the Presleys.

Ferguson's association with the late Lisa Marie Presley has garnered attention, especially since she spoke at her funeral earlier this year.

Discussions surrounding her potential involvement at the Oscars intensified following her recent activities in the U.S.

Her presence at the ceremony is deemed significant not only for the event but also for her personal endeavors, highlighting her evolving public image.
