Princess Anne Sets Conditions for Harry and Meghan’s Attendance at Coronation

With just a month left before the highly anticipated coronation at Westminster Abbey in London, new details have emerged regarding the conditions set by Princess Anne for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's attendance.

According to a royal insider who spoke to Page Six, King Charles III has demanded certain parameters to be met in order for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex to be present at the event.

Princess Anne has reportedly sent a final ultimatum to the Sussexes, emphasizing the importance of a smooth coronation for her brother, King Charles.

As part of the conditions, the couple must sign a contract that includes several provisions.

The document explicitly states that they are not allowed to disclose any information related to the event and are prohibited from speaking to the press upon entering Westminster Abbey.

Furthermore, the Duke and Duchess are required to uphold a behavior befitting of their status as members of the British monarchy.

They must avoid any actions that could tarnish their reputation while in the City of London.

Additionally, despite their attendance, it has been revealed that the couple will not have a balcony moment, as the King and Queen will celebrate their coronation alongside only the working royals.

This decision by His Majesty reflects his vision of a slimmed-down monarchy, according to royal sources.

The coronation event on Saturday, May 6, will culminate with a spectacular fly-past over Buckingham Palace, serving as a gesture of gratitude to the nation.

Detailed plans obtained by the Mirror indicate that the King has chosen to be accompanied by a select few royals who have dedicated their lives to public service, while also showcasing the future of the royal family.

The procession from Westminster Abbey to Buckingham Palace will feature Prince Charles and Camilla, traveling in the Gold State coach.

They will be joined by a chosen group, including the Prince and Princess of Wales and their three children: Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis.

Notably absent from the final group of 15 attendees are Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, who have yet to respond to the official invitation.

Contrary to rumors, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have not demanded to be included on the balcony, according to Palace insiders.

Disgraced Prince Andrew, who stepped back from royal duties following a s**-abuse scandal, will also be excluded from appearing alongside the monarch during this significant moment.

Princess Anne, Charles's trusted lieutenant and beloved sister, will stand by the King's side with her husband, Vice Admiral Sir Tim Lawrence.

Additionally, Prince Edward and his wife Sophie, the new Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh, will be present.

Their close relationship with the late Queen has earned them a place at the coronation.

A source familiar with the plans emphasized that this is a state occasion rather than a family gathering, and therefore only working members of the royal family will be in attendance.

The King has also insisted on including some of his mother's most loyal servants and family members, despite their impending retirements from public life.

The balcony moment during the coronation will serve as the King's final display of a streamlined monarchy.

It will also pay tribute to the Gloucesters, Duke of Kent, and Princess Alexandra for their support during Queen Elizabeth's 70-year reign.

As these individuals step away from public life, the monarchy will undergo further slimming down.

While preparations for the coronation continue, Prince Harry remains uncertain about certain aspects of the event.

Given the complexities of any family dynamics, particularly within the royal family, it is understandable that he has questions.

Discussions are ongoing regarding whether the Princess of Wales will wear a tiara, possibly Princess Diana's favorite, the Lover's Knot Tiara.

However, it is unlikely that Meghan Markle will have access to the family jewels, aside from those already gifted to her by Prince Harry.

In conclusion, it is clear that Princess Anne has set conditions for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's attendance at the coronation.

The couple must adhere to a strict contract, maintain a dignified behavior, and forgo any balcony moment.

As the date draws nearer, the royal family and the public eagerly await this historic event, which signifies both continuity and change within the monarchy.
