Will Prince Harry and Meghan Markle Attend King Charles’ Coronation?
As the date for King Charles III's coronation approaches, questions swirl around whether Prince Harry and Meghan Markle will receive an invitation.
Royal expert Angela Levin has cast doubt on their attendance, citing recent developments and the couple's past actions.
Levin, who has just released a book focused on Queen Consort Camilla, raised eyebrows when she noted that the coronation is set for May 6, 2023—coinciding with little Archie's birthday.
This unique timing complicates matters for the Sussexes.
While it's clear that Harry and Meghan might be eager to attend, the invitation remains uncertain.
Levin pointed out that Harry's memoirs and Meghan's podcast could play a significant role in the palace's decision-making process regarding their attendance.
The lack of confirmation about who will grace the ceremony only adds to the intrigue.
With more than 2,000 guests expected at Westminster Abbey for this historic event, the stakes are high.
Nevertheless, even if Harry and Meghan do receive an invite, their attendance is far from guaranteed.
After all, it would be quite the juggling act to celebrate their son's birthday while also participating in such a monumental royal occasion.
Adding to the speculation, royal commentator Jonathan Sacerdoti echoed Levin's sentiments just over a week ago.
He emphasized that the couple's presence isn't assured, pointing out that their travel history to the UK hasn't always included joint appearances.
Sacerdoti's remarks reflect a growing concern within royal circles regarding Harry's candid memoir, which many believe may not paint a flattering picture of Camilla.
The tension surrounding the publication of Harry's book is palpable.
As millions of pounds have reportedly been invested in a three-volume deal, the pressure to delay its release could stem from a desire to smooth over relations with the royal family.
It's a delicate balancing act for Harry, who seems caught between his commitments to his family and his obligations to his publishers.
Interestingly, opinions about the Sussexes' potential exclusion from the coronation vary widely.
Some royal watchers speculate that King Charles might choose to extend an olive branch and invite them, despite the controversies.
