Prince Harry and Meghan Markle to be invited to King Charles’ coronation but 'royals want duo to skip it'

'The King does not expect them to be at the coronation,' a source close to the royals

LONDON, UK: King Charles is expected to be crowned as the British monarch at Westminister Abbey on May 6 alongside his wife, Queen Consort Camilla. However, the more pressing matter at hand remains whether Prince Harry and Meghan Markle will join the coronation amid the bombshell release of his memoir, 'Spare'

Sources claim that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex will be invited to the ceremony but the couple may decline the offer, reported Page Six. Last week, Prince Harry sensationally refused to commit to attending the coronation at Westminster Abbey while giving his opinions on a possible reconciliation. When asked whether he’d attend the event if invited, the Duke of Sussex claimed “there’s a lot to be discussed” before he can make that decision.

“There’s a lot that can happen between now and then,” Harry said, reported New York Post. “But, the door is always open. The ball is in their court,” according to his another bombshell interview with ITV’s Tom Bradby.

Royal historian Hugo Vickers told Page Six, "Harry has made it clear that he has certain conditions before he will accept any invitation. It is always possible to reconcile if both parties are willing to do so … but I don’t think the Harry side will budge. He’s never wrong about anything. so that’s not a very good start."

“The King does not expect them to be at the coronation,” a source close to the royals told The Independent. “The family will extend the invitation but it would be very hard for Harry and Meghan to be there given everything that has been said in the interviews and the book. The family expects Harry and Meghan to find a reason not to be there.”

However, internet users continue to remain furious after the release of Prince Harry's memoir 'Spare', with one user claiming, "I really can’t see how they can go. I imagine the crowds watching will boo." Another said, "Totally in agreement! Airing ones laundry in public is never a smart design. It just shows the cowardice of those who seek attention pointing fingers while not owning any responsibility to ones own portion of their drama. Megan knew what she was getting into marrying Harry." A third speculated, "He still might get a formal invite to the public Coronation but I don’t believe he’d be invited to any private services or celebrations where any Royals might have to speak with him. And I doubt he’d be offered Royal lodging either for the same reason."

"As the Coronation is an ‘institution’ event rather than a ‘family’ event I can’t imagine they’d want to attend it and it would be extremely hypocritical if they were to," a fourth added. "The royal family knew Harry was not attending the coronation when it was first announced. When Charles announced the days of his coronation, Harry said at that time that he wouldn’t be attending. Harry said 'of all the days of the year, my father picked his grandson‘s birthday,'" read a tweet. Another commented, "I AGREED. The coronation is not a family affair it is for the PEOPLE meaning he doesn’t have to be invited even been the son of the King, WHY FOR GOD SAKE the father would allow his son to come in and collect more materials more dirt laundry to air out when he need $$??"
