King Charles will officially become the King of the United Kingdom and the rest of the commonwealth realms on May 6. The Archbishop of Canterbury will pledge his allegiance to the new king.
According to the Liturgy of the Coronation Service, Prince Williams will then kneel before his father and place his hands between Charles’s and recite the Homage of Royal Blood, pledging his loyalty to the King.
The Prince of Wales will also be the only member of the British Royal family who will be there in a speaking capacity. This move is seen as a snub for Prince Harry as he wasn’t even mentioned in the Liturgy.

Meghan Markle Won’t Be Attending The Event
Last month, Buckingham Palace announced that Meghan Markle will be staying with her two children in Montecito, California on the coronation day. She will be celebrating the 4th birthday of her son Prince Archie, which will fall on the same date.
Some reports suggest that Meghan decided to skip the event because her children were not invited to the ceremony. Harry is believed to spend only a limited amount of time in the UK for the coronation.
He is then expected to take a flight and immediately come back to the US for his son’s birthday. Some royal experts believe that King Charles might have forgiven Harry and Meghan because he still has their pictures in his room.
