The wait for an answer is over
Until now it was not known if Prince Harry and Meghan would attend his father’s coronation. The announcement has been made – Harry will attend while Meghan remains at their California home with Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet. All things considered, it’s probably the best decision that could have been made.
Buckingham Palace must be breathing a sigh of relief. The Duchess of Drama will be elsewhere while the king’s sons witness their father’s coronation. It’s a big deal and the king deserves to have his two sons present. Is that too much to ask?
Harry and Meghan were contacted via email a month ago. Since then the question has been whether or not Harry and Meghan would show up. It will be the first time Harry will have been seen with the Royal Family since the release of his memoir, Spare.
Prince Harry and Meghan issued a statement along the same lines as the palace.
It said: “The Duke of Sussex will attend the Coronation service at Westminster Abbey on May 6th. The Duchess of Sussex will remain in California with Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.”
Neither the couple’s spokeswoman nor Buckingham Palace would comment on the decision.
Harry will be one of more than 2,000 guests at Westminster Abbey on May 6. The day is also Prince Archie’s 4th birthday. It’s a shame Harry will miss the day with Archie but it’s always the children who suffer when their parents act badly.
