Prince Harry to attend his father’s coronation without Megan Markle

Buckingham Palace has confirmed that Prince Harry will attend his father’s coronation without his wife Meghan Markle who will remain in California.

The Duke of Sussex, Prince Harry, will attend the King’s coronation without his wife Meghan Markle, as reported by the Buckingham Palace . There has been speculation as to whether the couple would travel to the United Kingdom for the ceremony held on May 6 at Westminster Abbey. However, it has been confirmed that Harry will attend alone.

After the controversial publication of the book “Spare“, Prince Harry will see his family for the first time at the long-awaited event. In this autobiography, the prince reveals his disagreements with several members of the Royal Family, expressing that he feels different from the rest. His wife Meghan’s decision to decline the invitation could be due to unresolved family tensions.

Prince Harry’s book, along with the Netflix documentary series, had highlighted his anxiety over negative media coverage, particularly towards his wife, and the lack of support from relatives. So far, it was not certain that Harry would attend his father’s coronation. Finally, with the confirmation of his presence at the Abbey, King Charles will have his two sons at the ceremony.

The date of the event coincides with the birthday of Prince Archie, Harry and Meghan’s son, who will remain in the United States. The couple issued a statement regarding the event, “The Duke of Sussex will attend the Coronation service at Westminster Abbey on May 6. The Duchess of Sussex will stay in California with Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.”

Neither the couple’s spokeswoman nor Buckingham Palace commented on the decision, but opinions on social media were sharply divided. There were users in favor of the decision, who praised Meghan for standing up for herself; and, on the other side, opponents who criticized her for “dissing” her royal in-laws.

In short, Prince Harry will be part of the historic ceremony. It will be attended by public figures and world leaders, as well as 450 representatives of charities and community organizations. Harry’s role in the event is still unknown as he is no longer considered an “activeroyal “.
