Royals to Give Cold Shoulder to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle at King Charles III’s Coronation
Members of the royal family are gearing up to potentially give Prince Harry and Meghan Markle the cold shoulder if they choose to attend King Charles III's coronation in London.
Close friends of the family have revealed to The Daily Mail that numerous royals have privately expressed disinterest in engaging with the estranged Duke and Duchess of Sussex due to their public criticism of the monarchy.
It has been suggested that the Sussexes might find themselves seated in Iceland during the ceremony at Westminster Cathedral, receiving chilly treatment from many relatives.
According to sources close to the royal family, the sentiment towards Prince Harry and Meghan Markle is one of weariness and detachment.
“They do not want to socialize with them,” an insider shared with The Daily Mail, emphasizing that while some family members are resigned to the possibility of encountering the couple at the coronation, they are not eager to extend warm welcomes.
Additionally, it has been indicated that the couple will not be making an appearance on the balcony during the event, although their participation in other related festivities remains uncertain.
The couple's divisive standing within the royal circle stems from recent controversial ventures, including a Netflix documentary series and Prince Harry's forthcoming tell-all memoir, both of which cast critical perspectives on the royal family.
With less than two months left until the coronation, speculations abound regarding Prince Harry's attendance, whether solo or accompanied by his young family.
There are conjectures that Meghan might opt out of the event to celebrate their son Archie's fourth birthday on the same day, possibly in the U.S. or elsewhere, while others anticipate a family reunion at Frogmore Cottage, the Sussexes' former residence.
Meanwhile, Zara Tindall, daughter of Princess Anne, has opened up about the challenges she faces as a working mother of three.
Her husband, Mike Tindall, commended her dedication to their children, highlighting the internal struggles she grapples with when leaving for work in the mornings.
The couple shares three children – Mia, aged nine, Lena, aged four, and Lucas, aged one.
Mike praised Zara as an exceptional woman, emphasizing her passion, compassion, and commitment as the pillars of her motherhood.
During the Legends of Rugby dinner in January, Mike Tindall expressed admiration for his wife's unwavering devotion to their family.
He acknowledged Zara's self-imposed guilt for prioritizing work commitments over spending time with their children, underscoring her innate qualities as a nurturing mother.
Despite the challenges, the couple's daughters, Mia and Lena, are already showing interest in rugby, following in their father's sporting footsteps by joining a local club.
Following a recent vacation to Australia, where Mike Tindall participated in “I'm a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here,” the couple dismissed speculations about permanently relocating Down Under.
While acknowledging the allure of the Australian lifestyle and its benefits for children, Mike emphasized that moving there is not currently on the cards for their family.
Dismissing rumors of house-hunting endeavors, he affirmed their love for Australia while maintaining uncertainty about settling there permanently.
