Prince Harry and Meghan Markle cause delay in the coronation preparations

There is reportedly a “race against time” issue that has gripped the royal household in a state of panic. While major preparations are on the go, the Palace is still lagging behind in some pivotal construction. The first among them is seat arrangements and route fixtures for the Sussexes which have not yet been finalized. The delay has evidently stemmed from a lack of response from the estranged couples for the coronation invite to date. 

Keeping aside other members, insiders fear the King himself might not be ready for the once-in-a-generation event. There is a high chance that the King might stumble upon his elaborate crowning robes with the entire world having its eyes fixed on him on the same day. The next major row surrounding King Charles has been his decision to modify the age-old tradition, thereby changing the routes of the coronation procession. 

Prince Andrew’s ban on royal attires has outraged him

While spectators might see it as a misuse of power, this has actually been done to keep the already scrutinized costs down. According to the outlet, there has also been confusion about the women’s attire for the event. Planners are not yet sure if the other women in the family should wear tiaras before the Queen steps into the 11th-century church.
