Prince Harry’s Attendance at King Charles III’s Coronation Raises Concerns of Secret Recording for Netflix
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have been invited to attend King Charles III's coronation in May, but their decision to attend remains uncertain.
The couple's relationship with the royal family has reportedly deteriorated, following Harry's revelations in his tell-all memoir “Spare” and a Netflix docuseries.
It is the latter that has sparked worries among many, including fashion expert David Emanuel, who designed Princess Diana's wedding dress.
Emanuel expressed concerns that Harry may attempt to secretly record conversations for Netflix.
He suggested that Harry should be searched upon arrival to prevent any wired devices.
According to Emanuel, “Whatever is said, he'll take back and give it to Netflix and do more stories.”
This speculation arises from the belief that Harry and Meghan wore microphones during their visit to the UK for the Queen's Platinum Jubilee celebrations.
Buckingham Palace has reportedly taken precautions to prevent Harry and Meghan from eavesdropping on the royal family's conversations.
In addition to the Queen's reluctance to take pictures with them, the seating arrangement for Princess Beatrice and the princesses behind Harry and Meghan has been specially arranged.
Lieutenant Colonel Johnny Thompson was seated directly behind the couple during the Jubilee service, tasked with monitoring their behavior and ensuring they did not deviate from protocol or record conversations.
The late Queen herself personally arranged the seating for the Thanksgiving ceremony, positioning her Major of the Royal Regiment to keep a close eye on Harry.
However, under the Queen's guard, the couple did not obtain any valuable information, leaving Netflix executives furious.
King Charles III has his own reservations about Meghan Markle's presence at his coronation.
It is not because he fears she may overshadow him, but rather because he is concerned that the event may turn into a dramatic storyline resembling a daytime TV show.
A new report suggests that the public shares this sentiment, advising Charles against inviting Prince Harry and Meghan Markle to the coronation.
Royal expert Alison Pearson explains that while their attendance may improve the family's image, there is a downside.
Pearson states, “It's not really what a king wants at his coronation.
I bet it's not what a smarting prince and princess of Wales want.
It's certainly not what the British people want.”
There is genuine concern that the couple's presence may diminish the public's perception of the new monarch, as they have previously insulted both the country and the institution that Charles now represents.
Pearson suggests that Harry and Meghan could be invited to a private celebration, but should not be allowed to turn a solemn occasion into a sensationalized family drama.
The king must make a wise decision, choosing between a sacred anointing with holy oil or succumbing to the allure of a daytime soap opera.
