Prince Harry and Meghan Markle Excluded from Prince Charles’ Coronation Balcony Appearance
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are not expected to join Prince Charles on the balcony of Buckingham Palace after his coronation, according to royal experts.
The couple's absence from the royal family's balcony appearance during the future king's coronation is said to be a result of a slimmed-down monarchy plan.
Royal insiders reveal that only Prince Charles' wife, Camilla, who will become Queen Consort, along with Prince William, Kate Middleton, and their children, are expected to accompany Charles on the balcony when he ascends the throne.
This scaled-back version of the iconic balcony moment contrasts with the grandeur of Queen Elizabeth II's coronation in 1953.
The decision to exclude Prince Harry and Meghan Markle is reportedly motivated by financial considerations.
Prince Charles aims to minimize the cost of his coronation, which is estimated to have cost £1.57 million in 1953 (equivalent to £46 million today).
However, it is also suggested that Prince Charles may be apprehensive about becoming king due to the inevitable passing of his mother, Queen Elizabeth II.
Despite their deep bond, Prince Charles has spent his entire life preparing for the top job.
It is expected that his tight-knit monarchy will consist primarily of himself, Camilla, William, Kate, and their children.
This aligns with Charles' rumored intention to streamline the royal family, reducing the involvement of more distant relatives and focusing on a solid royal team led by Prince William.
Since stepping down from their royal roles in 2020 and relocating to Los Angeles, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have distanced themselves from the core royal activities.
As a result, it is anticipated that they will not be prominently featured in future significant events involving the new monarchy.
In terms of the coronation ceremony itself, plans are being considered for Prince Charles and Camilla to be crowned side by side, reflecting the Queen's desire for Camilla to be known as Queen Consort.
Operation Golden Orb is underway to organize the condensed coronation ceremony, expected to take place within a year after Charles assumes the throne.
In other news, Prince Harry recently delighted fans with a photo showcasing him holding the Super Bowl trophy after his wife's home team, the Los Angeles Rams, emerged victorious.
The Duke of Sussex visited the team in the locker room to congratulate them on their win, and the pictures were shared on Twitter, garnering enthusiastic responses from fans across the globe.
Prince Harry's presence at the event was particularly celebrated by Americans, who expressed their admiration for the prince and his integration into his new hometown of Los Angeles.
This positive reception aligns with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's efforts to establish themselves in the US market following their departure from royal duties.
As Prince Charles prepares for his future role as king, it is evident that he envisions a more streamlined monarchy, one that excludes Prince Harry and Meghan Markle from prominent positions during significant events such as his coronation.
The focus will be on a select group of core royals, signaling a shift in the dynamics of the British royal family.
