King Charles does not realize but his coronation has already been overshadowed by the whereabouts of his estranged son and daughter-in-law, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, or so the reports believe. The rampant speculations around whether the couple will attend the historic event at the Kingdom were growing intense over the past few days. However, it seems like we are finally narrowing down on big decisions with some obvious compromises.
Harry and Meghan have been unusually quiet in recent days, most likely because they fear they will not be invited to the Coronation. Attending the Coronation would be a huge coup for them after their destructive campaign and they would seek to be centre of attention at the event.

As reported earlier, it was clear that Monarch truly wishes to get his family in order. Not letting go of any possible chances, the King made special arrangements with the Archbishop of Canterbury to ensure Prince Harry’s presence by hook or by crook. Although the same was met with resistance by the elder brother, it seems the Sussexes have got to make the final swing.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle make it to the top 100 guests for King Charles’s coronation
Anonymous sources close to the Palace revealed to the Daily Express that the Duke and Duchess are on the list of invitees to the grand old ceremony. The two estranged family members will be cordially invited to the Palace premises as King Charles will swear in as the new Monarch of the Kingdom. However, King Charles has tried his level best to keep controversies at bay.

The report also reveals that the Palace is “planning is well underway” to have the estranged couple. However, that takes place only if they bring no drama along with themselves. To keep the brothers’ rivalry lowkey, the King has instructed the management to ensure Prince Harry and Prince William do not sit next to each other at any cost. The authorities will take serious precautions so that the Sussexes do not take away the event from their father. Hence, the Sussexes will have to give up on any press-fetching anti-royal agenda.
Will the Sussexes attend or are they going to turn it down?
While King Charles seems to be doing his best to accommodate them will the Sussexes even attend the coronation? After the explosive documentary and memoir, the Sussexes don’t seem to want to reconcile with the Royal Family. Instead, they seek an apology from them, which they are yet to receive. To add to it, the coronation will take place on Archie’s birthday. In light of these things, the chances of the royal couple attending seem slim.

What’s more? None of the invitations regarding the Coronation have been sent out so far. Buckingham Palace is finalizing the top 100 ‘strong guest’ list with the Prime Minister and the Foreign Office. The ones on the list will receive the official invitation anytime in the next four weeks. As soon as the first 100 are ensured an all-in, the next potential list of individual guests will be sent out on the orders of the King. And should the Sussexes get their invitation, they have but a few weeks to RSVP since the Palace would want it by April.
Do you feel the King was correct to have his controversial family members at this event of his lifetime? What are your opinions on his direction to make sure things run smoothly? Let us know in the comments below.

February 11, 2023 at 9:33 pmHarry and Meghan don’t like their own families. In fact they are more like enemies. How ugly! They don’t like the royals in general. They do crave the publicity generated. But, Harry still the King son. He should be invited because you suppose to love your children even when they are bad. Harry alone or on a different relationship wouldn’t have done what he did. He did it because of Meghan. Harry meant to hurt his family publicly. He shouldn’t attend. I dont beleive for a second Meghan was a victim. She played one. Meghan didn’t even honored her mother when naming her daughter. She only loves herself and is using Harry.

February 12, 2023 at 5:04 amI can understand why King Charles wants his son there but I think he’s taking an awful big risk having the brat there. They may say they’ll behave but I can see her trying to steal the attention and get all the press to herself. She’s done it so many times before and Harry cannot handle her. Charles is “damned if he does and damned if he doesn’t”. I don’t envy him one bit. He’s never been one of my favorite people but I do feel sorry for him. If everything had just gone straight to William I think it would’ve been easier. However I also understand why Queen Elizabeth couldn’t do that to her son. It’s going to be a sad day as well as a glorious day. Maybe the brat will catch the flu and have to stay home. Then things may be wonderful for the day.

March 2, 2023 at 4:47 amKCIII is doing the right thing inviting his son. It will be then up to PH & Meghan to attend. Their is nothing much he KCIII can’t do he does have a past to be happy about remember, that they are going to be crowning Camilla and that must be very hard for both Princes. It should be their mother being crowned if it would not have been for the other woman or mistress. Princess Diana suffered a lot too. Whatever PH decide we have to respect his decision. These issues in the RF should heal when they decide to sit down and problem solve and no blaming games. They all have their faults none are innocent bystanders. Those are his sons and he treats PH differently. Hope everything goes smoothly for KClll.
