Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s Coronation Dilemma: A Birthday Snub

In a surprising turn of events, and have found their hopes dashed regarding a special birthday tribute for their son during III's coronation.

Royal commentator Angela Levin revealed that the couple had requested for “Happy Birthday” to be sung to during the historic ceremony, which coincidentally falls on May 6—Archie's fourth birthday.

However, their requests have reportedly been turned down.

Levin shared her insights on Sky News, highlighting the Sussexes' conflicting demands.

While they expressed a desire for an intimate family moment, they also insisted on appearing on the balcony with their children.

Moreover, they sought a public apology before any birthday celebration could take place.

Unfortunately for them, none of these conditions were met, leading to their absence from the coronation festivities.

As the date approaches, the Sussexes are expected to finalize their plans.

This comes in light of recent news that First Lady Jill Biden will attend the coronation, following months of uncertainty regarding whether President Joe Biden would make an appearance.

The couple's attendance now seems more likely, especially since the deadline for guest confirmations was set for April 3.

The Times reported that Harry and Meghan are on the verge of announcing whether they will travel from their home in Montecito, California, to London for the event at Westminster Abbey.

A source close to the couple indicated that the confirmation of their plans is imminent, particularly with Jill Biden's decision to attend.

Reports suggest that discussions between the Sussexes and Buckingham Palace have been ongoing, with the urgency of the situation noted.

Given the significance of the coronation, organizers are eager to ensure that all arrangements, including security and transportation for Harry and Meghan, are meticulously planned.

Adding to the drama, Lady Colin Campbell, known as Lady C, has been vocal in her criticism of the couple.

During an appearance on Dan Wooten's GB News segment, she labeled them a “disgrace to humanity,” particularly in light of their rumored exclusion from the balcony during the coronation celebrations.

The balcony appearance is anticipated to be one of the key highlights of the coronation weekend.

However, it has been decided that only working royals will grace the balcony, meaning Harry and Meghan will not be included.

This decision also extends to other family members, such as and Princesses Eugenie and Beatrice.

Lady C expressed her firm belief that Harry and Meghan should not have been considered for a spot on the balcony at all.

She argued that the couple has no rightful claim to such prominence during the royal event.

Despite acknowledging 's desire to include his son, she strongly disagreed with the notion of Harry and Meghan being present.

Her critique didn't stop there; Lady C went on to suggest that the couple's behavior has been nothing short of disgraceful.

She emphasized that their actions reflect poorly not only on themselves but also on their parents and society as a whole.

According to her, there is simply no justification for what she perceives as their lack of decorum.

As the coronation day draws nearer, the world watches with bated breath to see if Harry and Meghan will ultimately decide to attend.

The unfolding drama surrounding their potential absence, coupled with their controversial requests, adds yet another layer of intrigue to an already historic occasion.
