Rejected: Harry and Meghan's Wish to Sing Happy Birthday to Archie at Coronation

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's request to have Archie serenaded with “Happy Birthday” at the upcoming coronation has been rejected.

The couple had hoped to celebrate their son's birthday during the grand event, which coincides with May 6th, the same day as Archie's special day.

However, their demands, including standing on the balcony and receiving an apology beforehand, were not met.

According to Miss Levin, while Harry and Meghan expressed their desire for an intimate family moment, they also insisted on being present with their children and having a dedicated moment for singing “Happy Birthday” to Archie, not during the family event but during the state occasion.

Such demands, coming from the couple, were deemed inappropriate and even tacky.

It is understandable that if Prince Charles had chosen to include a heartfelt rendition of “Happy Birthday,” it would have been seen as a sweet gesture from a loving grandfather.

However, when the request or demand comes from Harry and Meghan, it takes on a different tone.

It resembles demanding a present instead of patiently waiting and not expecting anything.

This lack of manners did not sit well with the authorities, resulting in their exclusion from the coronation.

The couple's expectation that everyone would break into song during a historical and religious ceremony, where a king and queen are crowned, to celebrate the fourth birthday of an irrelevant child, is seen as entering lunatic territory.

Furthermore, their insistence on an apology only adds fuel to the fire, as it seems unlikely that such a gesture will ever materialize.

As the coronation proceeds, the choir of Westminster Abbey will stand and perform Handel's Zadok the Priest, a stirring anthem befitting the grandeur of the occasion.

Singing “Happy Birthday” to Archie, a child of non-working royals, is considered by many to be the epitome of absurdity.

The Earl Marshall, in response to the request, stated that there is no precedent for such an act and it does not conform to the established rules.

He deemed it unworthy of any further attention, dismissing it as nonsense.

In a sarcastic suggestion, he proposed that Harry and Meghan hold a separate coronation exclusively for themselves, where they can be crowned King and Queen of Montecito, even suggesting the local McDonald's as a suitable venue.

The British public also weighed in on the matter, asserting that singing “Happy Birthday” during the ceremony is neither appropriate nor the right time or place.

If Prince Charles were to acknowledge his grandchildren's birthdays, it could be done in his speech at the reception, but even then, it should be a brief mention rather than a full-blown song.

The couple's demand for such recognition was met with disapproval.

An example was given of a similar situation, where a friend's birthday coincided with a wedding.

In that case, the husband made a quick shout-out to the friend during his welcome and thank you speech.

This spontaneous and thoughtful gesture was appreciated, but had the friend asked for it, it would have been considered utterly tacky.
