The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, Prince Harry, and Meghan Markle have had quite a rollercoaster of a time regarding their relationship with the royal family in Britain. Not only for the forthcoming coronation, but for various other reasons, there have been rising tensions between them and everyone in the family. Nevertheless, the decisions of their UK sovereigns seem to have repeatedly hurt the couple despite the calm and nonchalant composure they try to put on display.

The couple made it clear through their spokesperson that they have received the royal official notice regarding the upcoming coronation. Although they have already made their place in the 2000-strong guest list, something here is unsettling. Given the recent Frogxit and their replacement with Prince Andrew’s daughter, Princess Eugenie, a reconciliation seemed a distant dream. But it is finally happening. Prince Harry and Meghan Markle will be attending the coronation, but at a certain cost. 

The estranged Royals will not be having any specific role as the other core working Royals of the family. In fact, a report by the Daily Express reveals they will not be included in the royal procession now that they are no royals anymore. Leave alone being assigned special duties. They will not include Prince Harry and Meghan Markle in basic traditional family activities. 

For instance, chances are that we will not see the Sussexes duo on the balcony with the entire Windsor clan. Unlike the last time, the rest of the royal family will be making a grand appearance with King Charles and Queen Camilla in the center. And the Sussexes will have none of it. They are to lay low and make the most out of the invitation if they can. 

What roles are Prince Harry and Meghan Markle going to play in the coronation?

As the report cites, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle will only be playing the role of that of a spectator. While the Sussex fandom was thrilled at the supposed efforts of the King to bring his family together, it was actually an age-old reality that the Kingdom was bent to follow. 

Keeping them out of the Balcony view was actually a rule laid out by the late Queen Elizabeth II. If King Charles III too, deprives the Sussexes of these rights, it would be in accordance with the blueprint created by the former monarch for her Platinum Jubilee celebrations last year.
