The presence of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle at King Charles’ coronation on May 6 has been questioned. Harry’s presence has been confirmed recently.
The seating arrangement has not been revealed. The Daily Mail reported that Harry will possibly seat with safer members of the family to avoid unhelpful body language around cameras.
Buckingham Palace confirmed Harry’s presence this week, saying that he will be attending the Coronation Service. The Duchess of Sussex will remain in California with Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.
The confirmation comes a few weeks before the coronation and following the RSVP deadline. This also created issues for the palace staff.
Harry waited for some time because he wanted to know who he would be sitting with. Other sources mentioned that Harry’s RSVP was delayed as he was preoccupied.
A source added that Harry’s side was eager to discover everything because they wanted to rubber-stamp the seating plan of the Abbey.
Harry’s presence at the coronation ceremony will also mark his first reunion with the royal family since the release of his memoir, Spare.
Prince Harry made shocking claims about his father, brother, and sister-in-law. Harry and Meghan quit their royal life in March 2020 to start a new life in California.
