Prince Harry is set to attend King Charles III's coronation without Meghan Markle, amid rumors that some members of the royal family may not engage with him following his explosive revelations in the Harry & Meghan docuseries and memoir, Spare. Meghan will remain in California with their children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, while Prince Harry travels to the UK for his father's crowning.
According to Express, the Duke of Sussex may find support in his cousins, such as Princess Eugenie and Zara Tindall, during the historic event. Royal experts speculate that only junior royal family members will converse with Prince Harry, given that this will be his first reunion with the family after the release of his controversial book and docuseries.
Kinsey Schofield, speaking on Fox News, stated, "The King does want his youngest son to experience such a significant moment in his life." Schofield added, "It was Charles's wish that Prince Harry attend. Duty is still a priority to Harry, and he feels like it is his responsibility to attend."
Despite the anticipated tension with Queen Consort Camilla following his memoir's revelations, Prince Harry may engage in small talk with friendly royal family members like Zara and Princess Eugenie. Furthermore, his relationship with his brother, Prince William, may remain strained as the chances for reconciliation appear slim.
Prince Harry faces a bittersweet situation as he will attend his father's coronation but miss his son Prince Archie's fourth birthday. Buckingham Palace confirmed Prince Harry's presence at King Charles' coronation at Westminster Abbey on May 6 after weeks of deliberation.
Emily Nash, Hello! royal editor, commented, "I'm sure Harry will be sad to not be there on Archie's day itself, but it's clearly important to be there for his father, the King on this historic occasion." She added, "It's a big moment, both for the country but also for the king personally. I'm sure he'll be delighted that Harry's going to be there to witness it."
