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.
