Will Prince Harry And Meghan Markle Attend King Charles III’s Coronation?
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, Prince Harry, and Meghan Markle recently received invites for King Charles III’s coronation. The event is scheduled for May. The insiders have reported that only the couple has been invited to the event. The couple’s kids Archie and Lilibet haven’t received an invitation to the royal event. However, this hasn’t gone well with the couple. The couple has insisted that their kids be present along with their family members.
The insiders believe that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s demands will only create chaos for the family and will not benefit anyone. Hence, the family wants to solve the issue as quickly as possible. The family does not want any problems at the last minute. Because of the regular toddler ‘restlessness’ and ‘tantrums’, the two kids’ absence from the celebration had ‘never been a bone of contention’, according to the source.
The couple also wants the privilege of being in the Buckingham Palace balcony along with the entire family when King Charles greets the crowd after the coronation. This is a privilege that is only granted to the working royals, hence the insiders consider this request incorrect. The couple also wants a nod to being made to their son Archie during the event. The couple’s first child, Archie’s birthday falls on the same day as the coronation. The sources believe that all negotiations happening between the couple and the family may end up in a stalemate. This could lead to the couple being absent from the occasion altogether.
