Prince Harry and Meghan Markle: A Royal Snub at the Coronation?

In a surprising turn of events, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle might just miss out on a key moment in royal history—the upcoming coronation of King Charles III.

Recent reports indicate that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex were initially invited to the grand event.

However, as details unfold, it seems increasingly likely that they will not make a public appearance alongside other royals on May 6th.

The couple’s status as non-senior royals is a significant factor in this potential snub.

Back in March 2020, Harry and Meghan decided to step back from their roles within the royal family, seeking financial independence and a new life across the pond in the U.S.

They made this announcement via an Instagram statement, emphasizing that they had been contemplating their situation for several months prior to their decision.

During their last visit to the U.K. in June 2022, the couple maintained a notably low profile.

While they did attend the Platinum Jubilee Thanksgiving service at Westminster Abbey, they notably skipped the balcony appearance that featured other members of the royal family.

This absence raised eyebrows and hinted at a growing distance between the Sussexes and the rest of the royals.

Adding to the speculation, a leaked plan for the coronation procession has emerged.

It appears that only working royals, along with Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis, are slated to participate.

Notably absent from this list are Harry and Meghan, which suggests their role in the ceremony will be minimal, if present at all.

Tensions between Harry, Meghan, and the royal family have escalated in recent years.

Their Netflix series and Harry’s memoir, “Spare,” have added fuel to the fire, revealing personal anecdotes and claims about family dynamics.

Among these revelations was an alleged physical altercation between Harry and his brother, Prince William, and some pointed remarks about Queen Camilla.

Royal expert Sarah Hewson has commented on the rift, stating that the brothers are currently worlds apart.

Despite this ongoing tension, some reports hint that Harry and Meghan may still find a way to be involved, perhaps attending a private gathering related to the coronation.

However, it’s clear that the couple won’t be playing a prominent role in the official proceedings.

The coronation itself is set to be a more intimate affair compared to Queen Elizabeth II’s grand ceremony in 1953, with a reduced guest list that excludes many MPs and peers.

The official plans for the coronation procession have been unveiled, showcasing the Prince and Princess of Wales, along with their three children, following closely behind the Golden State Coach, which will carry the newly crowned King and Queen back to Buckingham Palace.

As the date approaches, the question remains: what will Harry and Meghan ultimately decide?

Will they attend any part of the festivities, or will they opt out entirely?

The royal family dynamics continue to evolve, leaving many curious about the Sussexes’ next moves.
