As King Charles III’s coronation approaches in May, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have been warned of a potential “lose-lose” situation if they choose to attend the historic event in the UK.
Royal commentator Hilary Fordwich has claimed that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex could face public anger if they attend the coronation at Westminster Abbey. Speaking to Express UK, she said, “On the one hand, if they do accept their invitation, the likelihood of being booed by the British public, whom they threw under the bus, is highly likely.”
The coronation of the 74-year-old monarch will take place almost 70 years after his mother, Queen Elizabeth II, was crowned. The couple has reportedly been invited to attend the landmark ceremony but has yet to confirm their attendance.
Fordwich’s warning comes amid ongoing tensions between the Sussexes and the royal family following their controversial departure from their senior roles in 2020. The couple’s explosive interview with Oprah Winfrey earlier this year added fuel to the fire, with Harry and Meghan alleging racism and a lack of support from the royal family.
The prospect of Harry and Meghan attending the coronation of King Charles III has already generated heated debate on social media, with some users suggesting that their presence could detract from the event’s significance.
It remains to be seen whether the couple will attend the coronation or not, but the decision will undoubtedly be fraught with potential pitfalls given the current climate.
