The King Charles III Coronation is getting interesting by the minute. With all the big and small developments with the plans and arrangements, the United Kingdom is moving forward swiftly for its next big celebration. Nonetheless, the controversies that come along with it never cease to exist. Owing to the royal row between families, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, Prince Harry, and Meghan Markle have become a hot topic of the town.

Having moved forward from their presence or absence at the Coronation, the Palace has now got a set of strict and unusual rules for the estranged couple. While earlier reports claimed their snub from the Balcony appearance to no involvement in the procession, there are now a new set of odds that the Prince and his wife will have to follow.

As reported by The Mirror, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex will receive the cold shoulder from the Monarchy at five different points. First and foremost, having been thrown into the shadow of the Prince and Princess of Wales, Prince Harry, and Meghan Markle will not be kneeling to the new King once he is crowned. Prince William, however, will go down on bended knee to pledge his alliance to the new Monarch. The Duke has been marred by these rights at the occasion.

Secondly, the Sussex couple is said to be seated far away from the rest of the members of the royal family. This will apparently keep them away from socializing much with the other members. “I hope they’ll be seated in Iceland,” scorned a source of outlets, expressing their disgust with the self-exiled couple. Next comes the balcony ban, which all of us are well aware of.

As imposed by the late Monarch, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle will not appear on the famous Buckingham Palace balcony with the rest of the family. “This is where Prince Harry and Meghan have requested inclusion,” read the outlet. However, given certain circumstances, the balcony appearance seems a distant dream.

Next coming on to their children, the report suggests that Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet of Sussex are not yet invited to the coronation. On the other hand, the Wales kids will not only be present during the Coronation but will also render off significant duties in service to the King.

Lastly, there have also been disputes over the dress codes if the estranged family members happen to drop by. The outlet reads that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle will not be wearing any ceremonial robes or coronet which they would have, had they been the working Royals of the family. Every accessory that they will put on will be solely their own and will have nothing from the palace.
