With just weeks to go before the official coronation of King Charles III, the question on everyone’s lips is whether Prince Harry and Meghan Markle will attend the event. According to sources close to the couple, Harry is waiting for a response from the Palace before making any decisions, as he has a lot of questions about how the event will work.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have reportedly been invited to the ceremony, which will be attended by almost all members of the royal family, as well as dignitaries from around the world and a host of famous faces. The event marks the official crowning of King Charles and Camilla on May 6, and celebrations will continue throughout the weekend, with an extra bank holiday on May 8 and a special Coronation Concert at Windsor Castle airing on the BBC on May 7.
Previous reports suggest that the couple were being “factored into the planning” of the ceremony, and arrangements have been made well in advance to accommodate their attendance. However, Harry’s relationship with his royal relatives has remained troubled, particularly after the publication of his autobiography “Spare” earlier this year.
Despite the uncertainty surrounding their attendance, bookies have cut the odds of Harry and Meghan attending the coronation to 1-3, down from 4-5 earlier in the month. Fans and royal enthusiasts alike are eagerly anticipating a decision from the couple, who have remained quiet on the matter thus far.
Whatever their decision may be, the coronation of King Charles III promises to be a historic event, steeped in tradition and pomp. As the nation unites to celebrate the new monarch’s official crowning, all eyes will be on Windsor Castle, waiting to see who among the royal family and famous faces will be in attendance.
