Prince Harry's Attendance at King Charles' Coronation Raises Concerns; Paul Burrell Predicts 'Next Assault' on Royal Family
Prince Harry is set to attend his father King Charles' coronation without Meghan Markle, and according to a royal expert, this could be another opportunity for the Duke of Sussex to express his grievances against the royal family.
Paul Burrell, Princess Diana's former butler, shared his thoughts on Prince Harry's upcoming attendance at the coronation in an interview with Mirror. He expressed concerns that Harry might use the event as a platform to criticize the royal family further.
Burrell said, "Harry is keeping the door open and preserving his unique selling point by being Royal. That's what the Americans love, the fact they're Royal. Harry will have to face his family, the ones he has criticised. He will even have to bow and kiss the hand of Queen Camilla, and that's going to be a very tough pill to swallow."
He went on to add, "He will also be gathering anecdotes for his next assault on his family." Some speculate that if Prince Harry does not receive a warm welcome from his family, he may use the occasion to complain about their treatment of him. Harry and Meghan faced a frosty reception from the royal family during the Queen's Platinum Jubilee last year.
Prince Harry's decision to attend the coronation has generated mixed reactions. While many are pleased with his choice, others did not anticipate his presence given the serious allegations he previously made against his father, King Charles, and brother, Prince William.
Robert Jobson, author of the new book Our King: The Man and the Monarch Revealed, spoke with the Daily Mail about Harry's attendance at the coronation. He said, "It is good news that Harry has accepted the invite and will be there to support his father. It is the most pragmatic move in a difficult situation, and Harry has got it right. He would deeply regret it if he didn't attend the biggest day of his father's life."
As the coronation approaches, it remains to be seen how Prince Harry's presence will impact the event and his relationship with the royal family.
