Criticism Arises as Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s Children Excluded from King Charles’ Coronation
The reported exclusion of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's children, Prince Archie Harrison and Princess Lilibet Diana, from King Charles' upcoming coronation in May has sparked criticism from Australian journalist Daniela Elsa.
In a comment piece for news.com.au, Elsa argues that it would be a grave mistake for King Charles to leave out his grandchildren from such a historic occasion.
Elsa asserts that excluding Archie and Lily from the three-day event would contradict the reported plan to showcase a multicultural 21st century Britain by selecting guests from a representative cross-section of the country.
The commentator notes that such exclusion would make a mockery of the inclusiveness that the Abbey's guests are supposed to represent.
Additionally, Elsa points out that the children are innocent in the rift between the royal family and Harry and Meghan.
Leaving them out of the coronation plans could worsen the ongoing feud and make it more deeply entrenched, potentially lasting for generations.
The journalist suggests that including the Sussexes' children in the celebrations could be a significant gesture in mending the rift.
Elsa argues that if King Charles shows that he is willing to bring all his grandchildren together during the coronation, it could help unite a politically, culturally, and socially fractured Britain.
By doing so, it would demonstrate his commitment to a more unified and inclusive future for the royal family.
It remains unclear whether the Duke and Duchess of Sussex will attend the coronation.
However, according to Elsa, showing that their children are welcome during the celebrations would greatly impact the situation.
She emphasizes that excluding the young royals from the coronation weekend would be a missed opportunity for King Charles to showcase his willingness to move past the ongoing feud towards a more unified and exclusive future for the royal family.
In a recent development, Princess Lilibet Diana, daughter of Prince Harry and Meghan, was christened at their home in California.
This marked the first time Lilibet was identified as a princess in the public eye, confirming that the couple's child would indeed use the royal titles.
