The world is all set to witness the coronation of King Charles. There are believed to be billions of people watching the ritual. But the world has its eye on Prince Harry, whose dynamic with the family changed a long ago. Although he confirmed attendance, some factors are sparking new theories.

One of these theories points towards the fact that Prince Harry will attend the function merely as a guest since he is no longer a functioning Royal. According to Sky News, royal commentator Esther Krakue has suggested that during the Coronation, Prince Harry will be treated as an ordinary guest and not given a special place like other royals.

Since he cut ties with his family and released his memoir, the relationship between the Duke of Sussex and his family has been strained. Hence, it is quite obvious that he will be getting ordinary treatment at the ceremony. Moreover, he does not even have a significant part to play in the function apart from being a mere spectator.

Although Prince Harry does not have a significant role in the coronation, there is something else he is looking forward to after the ceremony.

What plans does Prince Harry have post-ceremony?

Apart from the ceremony, there is another reason May 6th is a special day for Prince Harry. It is the fourth birthday of  Prince Archie, the eldest child of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. Apparently, his birthday is as same day as the coronation of his grandfather. Hence, Meghan Markle has decided to stay back with the kids and not attend the coronation.

It seems that Harry and his brother William’s relationship is still in rough waters. Hence, the palace might have made the decision to keep him duty-free during the ceremony. Notably, the last time the Duke of Sussex participated in a Royal ceremony was when his grandmother passed away. Let’s see what happens in the highly anticipated event of the year
