Netizens have their eyes on the coronation for a reason other than one that points toward the monarchy’s significance. And the royal palace owes the pleasure to none other than their former working members, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. With the big event coming up in May, all eyes are on the Sussexes and the role they are going to play at the Coronation.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s role at the coronation is surrounded by a fog of confusion, as they are no longer working royal members. But a part of the family, nonetheless. An expert in royal affairs has come through to clear out the air around the role of each member of the royal family during the ceremony.
What will be Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s role at King Charles’ coronation?
Owing to the countless daggers they have thrown at the royal family, ranging from racism to favoritism, many do not expect them to attend. However, the royal Palace is prepared in case the Sussexes do arrive. A royal expert by the name of Dr. Tessa Dunlop in her interview with Mirror explained in detail the role of the Sussexes at the coronation. In reference to Prince Harry paying homage to King Charles, she said, “It is unlikely that Harry will have to go down on bended knee,”.
Prince William will be the one paying homage to his father. As for Meghan Markle, Dunlop said “any coronation finery will be entirely her own.” Moreover, Dr. Dunlop believes that if history were to be repeated, then Prince Harry will not be attending the coronation. She gave the example of Edward VIII’s absence from George VI’s coronation.
Why are the Sussexes not important at the Coronation?
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry left the castle at their own will in 2020. In doing so, they also left behind any special royal treatment and responsibilities that they were tied to. Therefore, it should not be a tough pill to swallow that they will not be playing a major role at King Charles’ coronation except for sitting at the back.
The debate is mostly centered around their attendance, which, due to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s uncharacteristic silence after the memoir, has created an atmosphere of suspense.
Do you think Meghan Markle and Prince Harry should be given a greater role at the Coronation? Let us know in the comments below.

February 18, 2023 at 6:34 pmNo I will be disappointed if they are Out of courtesy of being a family member they should be invited but sat in the back away from the ceremony – they have made their choices and can’t change their expectations at Will for a publicized event. They should be treated like the outsiders they made themselves. The family can meet with them on a day outside the festivities without cameras and publicity. They are not to be trusted. Harry gave up his Tues to the family and have proved it with his actions and demands over the years. If they have any respect or love for their family they would stay away

February 19, 2023 at 12:02 amBut do you think the tabloid Press will stop hounding them for story and photographs ? The EXPERTS should tell the Tabloid Media to leave the Sussexes alone so as not to upstage the coronation for the KING…
It won’t be the Sussexes fault to have their photos plastered all over the Tabloids after the Kings Coronation. Common sense. The Sussexes were there because the KING is his father. NOT the drama that all reporters are trying to make up…..so There.

February 18, 2023 at 7:50 pmWhy would the new king choose one of his grandchildren’s birthdays to have a coronation? That’s just self-centered and thoughtless. I

February 19, 2023 at 12:04 amThe KING wants his son to be present for his historical event…. won’t you ??

February 19, 2023 at 8:24 amBecause they chose to step down from being working royals, then it should not surprise them or anyone else for that matter that they will not have a place of prominence at the coronation. He would need to show allegiance to the king. How would he be able to do that after all the things he has sad against the king and his family? Yes, let them come to witness this magnificent event but don’t expect them to do anything else. I would not be surprised if it is said that they won’t be coming. Without a word needing to be said, it would be like eating crow for them. It does amaze me that they have been unusually quiet here lately.

February 19, 2023 at 9:32 amThey should not have a role in the coronation. They left the Royal life behind, and only use it to make money.

February 20, 2023 at 3:20 amLet them attend under tight supervision, but don’t allow them to participate an any fashion!

February 20, 2023 at 7:13 amPerfectly stated! He just wants to be treated as a son/brother… not as a “working royal”. I don’t know why that’s so hard to understand. Family first, the “firm” should be second. Diana also learned the hard way that’s not how they function… sadly.

February 20, 2023 at 5:05 amHow the king treats his children and their families is important! If the queen was the loving grandmother of the realm, then what does that make an estranged father who, at the very least, is linked with racism? After all, what mortal, unforgivable, sin did Harry commit? He served his country honorably, and not from a bunker, and only gave up his beloved military career in order to fulfill royal duties. He is protective toward his wife and children; what good husband/father isn’t? Considering what happened to Diana I think that the rest of the royals should be more protective, and that it speaks volumes that they are not. If Harry, with or without his family, is not treated as any son should be, or, if he is prevented from doing as he pleases (staying where he wants, dress, visiting, charity, etc.) then everyone will know that it was because his father and/or brother were afraid that they might be upstaged and as a result put limits on Harry. What exactly are they so afraid of? It’s not as though Harry wants their job! If they are smart they will use Harry’s strong desire to serve to the advantage of the firm.

February 20, 2023 at 12:48 pmThey have no children. There are no children to give the titles too. Before everyone starts calling me names it has been proven that they have no children. Harry and MM wanted to keep their foot in the door of the royal family.

February 20, 2023 at 9:04 amThat is the choice of KClll, he is his son. What KCIII should do his give his other children their rightful royal titles.

February 20, 2023 at 12:36 pmThe coronation day is set up by Parliament. Charles has no input. They have no children but that would be their excuse if they do not attend.Harry still doesn’t realized what he has done. The ramifications are dangerous. Thanks to Harry he has screwed up the protection of everyone. The Taliban put him on their list of enemies that need to be taken out. Everyone needs to be aware of the dangers. He shouldn’t have poked that sleeping bear.

February 21, 2023 at 8:36 amHarry has a ring through his nose, like a Bull. There is an invisible chain attached to it. The chain is pulled by Ms Markle. Although they resigned from the Firm in order to live a normal life, they will do anything SHE dictates in order to be the center of attention (the attention that they didn’t want! Such hypocrites). It would be very demeaning for them if they decide to attend Charles Coronation and be seated in the back row with the other Commoners. He has acted like a spoiled brat and his Mother would be ashamed of his behavior. Of course the paparazzi will be hunting them down if they do go, taking attention away from Charles. It is utterly disgraceful that his step-mother, the whore who broke up his parents marriage, will be crowned Queen instead of his dear Mother. Charles should have taken a back seat and permitted William to become King. Problem solved!

February 21, 2023 at 8:18 pmJAK you have put it into words beautifully!!
I agree with you every word that you wrote I couldn’t have added anything, except I truly believe that H&M will not attend and it’s really sad that Charles both sons & family will not attend.

March 1, 2023 at 9:47 pmMary Ann William’s it has not been proven that Harry and Meghan do not gave children. If you have proof to the contrary provide it.
Personally I think Harry and Meghan should tell Charles and William where to stick the invitation to the coronation.
Harry has requested a meeting with his father but nothing has come about. Doubt that it will happen. Charles does not face things he runs away from them.
He does not love his son or his grandchildren.
From recent actions of not giving his two grandchildren the titles they are entitled to and evicting Harry and Meghan from Frogmore it would appear that Charles is a nasty petty person. I hope Harry sue’s him for the cost of the renovations to Frogmore.

Charles is led by the nose by his mistress Camilla. He does as she pleases otherwise she will cut off the bedroom antics.
To go against his mothers word and give his mistress the title of Queen is a slap in the face to Queen Elizabeth. Shame on him.

February 22, 2023 at 4:28 amFamily over everything! Of course they should be treated as beloved family members. This is about a father and a son! Period.
Carol
February 22, 2023 at 6:14 amNo, they should not be given any special treatment and certainly not seated up front. They gave all that up! Lol
Christine Tatom
February 22, 2023 at 10:47 amSeat them with their cousins away from the working Royals. By their own choice they stepped down. Give them the private treatment they desire. Let’s not forget Harry has a target on his back. I wouldn’t want him next to King Charles III, or another Royalty family member. Keep looking over your shoulder Harry.
Heather
February 24, 2023 at 2:56 amNo surprises and special treatment. At their own choice. Oblige them. They are guests only. I hope they behave as such. Seat them with their cousins. As previously planned and mentioned. Stick to the plan. She’s probably planned to announce another baby on the way… during the coronation. Lol…

February 26, 2023 at 9:47 amNo need for Harry & Megan to attend the Coronation period! Remember they had to leave the UK because of all the paparazzi invading their privacy….privacy ….privacy! Both of them using Princess Diana as sympathy to make money! Shameful!
King Charles should not trust them and just love Harry from a distance!
These two photo shoppers really care nothing about their families or anyone else! All they want is to make money, demand apologies and make their families miserable!

March 2, 2023 at 2:03 amOnly Harry should attend without being upfront.
Keith J
March 2, 2023 at 10:59 pmNo way they should attend after all the dirt they have spread around. Leave the to rot in California!
Lauralyn
March 19, 2023 at 2:35 amHarry and Meghan are family and should be there for the King’s important day. Since they officially left their roles as royals behind, they are merely spectators.
Patti Hawkesworth
March 19, 2023 at 10:46 amThey won’t come – everyone can stop worrying about it. They will stay in California like the cowards they are. Really. Who cares what they do?
