Prince Harry and Meghan Markle May Be Left Off Guest List for King Coronation
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's presence at the forthcoming King Coronation is in doubt, as recent clues suggest they may be snubbed from the event.
Although reports indicated that the Duke and Duchess were invited earlier this month, several factors hint at their exclusion from the balcony appearance on May 6th.
One crucial issue is the couple's status as non-senior royals since March 2020.
Harry and Meghan announced their decision to step back from their roles as working members of the firm, aiming to achieve financial independence while supporting Queen Elizabeth.
In an Instagram statement, they explained that they had reflected on their position for several months before making this choice.
Following their decision, the couple relocated to the U.S. with their two young children.
Another factor is the couple's low profile during their visit to the U.K. in June 2022.
While they attended the Platinum Jubilee Thanksgiving service at Westminster Abbey, they did not join other members of the royal family on the balcony.
Furthermore, a leaked procession plan for the upcoming coronation only includes working royals and Prince George, Charlotte, and Prince Louis.
The Duke and Duchess are notably absent from the plan.
Tensions between the couple and the royal family have been simmering for some time.
The release of their Netflix series and Harry's book, “Spare,” further fueled the situation.
The book made claims about key members of the royal family, including an alleged physical altercation between Harry and Prince William, and referred to Camilla as dangerous.
Royal expert Sarah Hewson has remarked that the brothers could not be further apart.
Despite these factors, there are reports suggesting that the couple may still be involved in the coronation in some capacity.
They might attend a private event before or after the ceremony, or they could choose to decline the invitation altogether.
However, it is evident that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle will not have a prominent role in the proceedings.
Compared to his mother's coronation in 1953, the King's coronation will be considerably smaller and shorter.
The guest list has been reduced, resulting in hundreds of MPs and peers missing out on attending.
The official procession plans have been unveiled, with the Prince and Princess of Wales and their three children following behind the Golden State coach, carrying the newly crowned King and Queen to Buckingham Palace.
