Nigel Farage Calls for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle to Be Excluded from King Charles III’s Coronation
Nigel Farage, the former UKIP leader, has stirred up controversy by demanding that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle be barred from appearing on the Buckingham Palace balcony during King Charles III's coronation.
Farage argues that as non-working royals, Harry and Meghan should not participate in such a significant royal event.
Despite acknowledging the difficulty of Charles snubbing his youngest son, Farage insists that the balcony is reserved for working members of the royal family.
During an appearance on Fox Business Network, Farage pointed out the historical significance of the balcony, citing a memorable image of Queen Elizabeth II alongside Winston Churchill on VE Day.
He emphasized that the Queen was a dedicated working royal, unlike Harry and Meghan who chose to step back from their royal duties and relocate to the West Coast of America.
While they may attend the coronation at the Abbey, Farage adamantly believes they should not be permitted on the balcony.
The debate surrounding Harry and Meghan intensified following the release of Harry's memoir, “Spare,” earlier this year.
The book, which quickly became a bestseller, contained shocking revelations, including reports of a physical altercation between Harry and Prince William, as well as alleged snubs from Queen Camilla towards Harry.
Farage also addressed speculation about Charles' apprehension regarding Harry's attendance at the coronation, echoing claims made by royal author Tom Bowe.
Farage expressed sympathy for Charles, suggesting that the king is caught in a dilemma.
Inviting Harry and Meghan could risk them causing a scene and overshadowing the global spectacle of the coronation, while excluding them would go against paternal instincts.
The uncertainty surrounding the guest list for the balcony remains, with Buckingham Palace yet to confirm who will accompany King Charles, although Queen Camilla and Prince William are expected to be present.
The coronation ceremony, a symbolic and religious event, marks the official crowning of the monarch and features the iconic moment when the crown is placed on their head.
As speculation swirls around Harry and Meghan's potential presence at the event, opinions are divided on whether they should participate in such a historic occasion.
The public's reaction to Farage's comments and the ongoing debate over royal protocol continue to fuel discussions within royal circles and among royal enthusiasts.
As the anticipation builds for King Charles III's coronation, the question of who will share the balcony with the new monarch remains unanswered.
With the event set to captivate audiences worldwide, the presence or absence of certain royals has become a topic of intense scrutiny.
Regardless of the final decision, the coronation promises to be a momentous occasion, steeped in tradition and spectacle.
