Prince Harry Faces Dilemma Over Attending King Charles’ Coronation
Prince Harry is caught in a difficult situation as he contemplates whether or not to attend King Charles' coronation, according to a royal expert.
Nigel Cawthorn, an authority on the royal family, suggests that the Duke of Sussex's popularity may plummet even further if he joins the Windsors at Westminster Abbey on May 6th.
On the other hand, if he decides to stay away, he risks being accused of turning his back on his royal roots.
Cawthorn, the author of “Prince Andrew, Maxwell and the Palace,” also highlights the predicament faced by King Charles regarding the attendance of both Prince Harry and Prince Andrew at the coronation.
He explains that Charles finds himself in an impossible position, as the presence of either Andrew or Harry could potentially overshadow the significance of the event and divert attention away from the new monarch.
Furthermore, Cawthorn emphasizes the dilemma confronting Prince Harry himself.
The Duke of Sussex has been grappling with his level of unpopularity and the impact it may have on his public image.
Each time he expresses his views, his standing in the opinion polls plummets.
Cawthorn compares him to Eddie the Eagle, a British ski jumper who gained fame for his lack of success in the sport.
If Harry chooses to attend the coronation, he risks facing public backlash and possibly even having rotten tomatoes thrown at him.
However, if he opts to stay away, he will be seen as turning his back on the royal family.
In addition to this, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have received advice to avoid making King Charles' birthday celebrations all about themselves.
Royal commentator and author A. N. Wilson sheds light on these warnings and observations.
Wilson reveals that news emerged this week of the couple's daughter's recent baptism, which took place at their home in Montecito, California.
The ceremony was conducted by the Right Reverend John H. Taylor, the Bishop of L.A. and a former chief of staff to President Nixon.
However, Wilson expresses his disappointment that even this joyful news was accompanied by a narrative of victimhood.
Wilson further suggests that now is the time for the couple to cease causing trouble within the royal family and instead focus on building bridges and displaying humility and good humor.
Additionally, he hopes that Westminster Abbey will find discreet seating arrangements for Harry and Meghan, away from the prying eyes of television cameras.
Wilson emphasizes that this day should not revolve around the couple, but rather something much grander.
The news has sparked a debate among royal enthusiasts, with many sharing their thoughts in the comments section.
