As the highly anticipated coronation of draws near, a source reveals that senior female royals, including , were merely instructed on what attire to don for this momentous event.

Angela Kelly, a close friend and the late Queen's esteemed dressmaker, has also broken her silence after receiving a secret request from the Duchess of Sussex.

Meghan had specifically asked Kelly to create a Queen gown for her, with the intention of becoming the center of attention and overshadowing other prominent ladies such as and future Queen .

However, due to a prior incident involving a tiara, tensions arose between Kelly, the late Queen, and Meghan.

This led Kelly to distance herself from the Duchess, as she perceived Meghan's actions as disrespectful towards the late Queen and an attempt to alienate from his royal family.

On the contrary, , the Princess of Wales, and other senior female royals have been diligently finalizing fittings for their coronation outfits following the tiara debacle.

With just over three weeks remaining, organizers are facing a race against time to ensure every detail is perfect for and Queen 's historic crowning at Westminster Abbey on May 6.

Royal aides are working tirelessly, around the clock, to guarantee a flawless execution of the big day.

However, challenges have emerged during the planning process, including the decision of whether the royal women will wear tiaras into the church before the Queen consort enters the Abbey.

Sources claim that indecisiveness between the households has resulted in confusion regarding which tiaras the female royals should wear.

It was only this week that senior female royals were informed about their outfits, prompting a last-minute scramble to finalize fitting arrangements.

Speculation has even arisen suggesting that royal ladies like Kate and Sophie, the Duchess of Edinburgh, may opt not to wear tiaras on the day.

At previous coronations, nearly all royal women donned tiaras, and during George VI's crowning in 1937, a young Princess Elizabeth and Princess Margaret wore coronets, small crowns.

However, according to People magazine, the ongoing discussion surrounding tiara selection has left many royal watchers eagerly anticipating the sight of members of the royal family adorned in their finest gowns and jewelry for the ceremony.

Meanwhile, with only 25 days remaining until the grand event, a sense of panic is said to have gripped the royal household as the countdown intensifies.

Insider sources reveal that both King Charles and Queen Camilla have been diligently rehearsing their roles in a mock-up Abbey, specially constructed within Buckingham Palace.

During a recent interview on GB News, royal biographer Tom Bower suggested that it was not Meghan's desire to attend the coronation, but rather Kate Middleton who prevented her from doing so.

Bower stated, “I think it's an ugly compromise.

We must all be grateful that Kate ultimately prevented Meghan from coming, stating that she wouldn't have her there under any circumstances.

She made it clear that if Meghan were to attend, she would have to sit at the back.”

Bower emphasized the constitutional importance of Harry's presence for the royal family, stating that if, hypothetically, the Cambridges were to tragically pass away, King Harry would ascend the throne after Charles.

Therefore, his attendance at the coronation is crucial.

The announcement regarding Harry's attendance brings an end to months of speculation, and it will mark the first time he will be seen publicly with his family since the funeral of his late grandmother, II.

In his recent memoir, “Spare,” Harry made various accusations against members of his family, including Charles, Camilla, William, and Kate.

He criticized Charles' parenting, claimed the King was envious of Meghan and Kate, and accused William of physical aggression.

He also referred to Camilla as dangerous and accused her of sacrificing him for her personal PR endeavors.

Despite Meghan's absence, it is speculated that Harry will not be present on the balcony during the coronation, as allowing him to do so would also require 's presence.

Having two renegade princes in such a prominent position at the beginning of King Charles's reign is deemed unfavorable.

Instead, it is believed that Harry should attend but remain as inconspicuous as possible, ensuring a smooth start to the new monarch's reign and the coronation itself.

As preparations intensify and tensions continue to simmer within the royal household, all eyes eagerly await the historic coronation of King Charles and Queen Camilla, where the royal family will unite in a display of tradition, elegance, and regal grandeur.
