Rumors are circulating that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry, may steal the spotlight from King Charles’ coronation this summer.
According to royal columnist Lee Cohen, the couple might use the occasion to share a new photo of their son, Archie Harrison, who coincidentally celebrates his birthday on May 6th.
Cohen described their actions as “terribly petty,” suggesting that the Sussexes take every opportunity to upstage royal events now that they no longer have a royal platform.
This wouldn’t be the first time the couple has chosen such a moment to make an announcement.
Last year, during the Platinum Jubilee, Meghan and Harry celebrated their daughter, Lilibet Diana’s birthday, and released a portrait of her.
However, royal correspondent Natalie Oliveri has cautioned the couple against pulling any stunts during the coronation.
She emphasized the importance of sticking to the plan and not overshadowing the historical event.
Oliveri predicted that their appearance at the coronation would be similar to the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee, with the couple mostly staying in the shadows.
Despite the need to maintain decorum during the coronation, Meghan and Harry may still hold a small party for Archie at Frogmore Cottage.
Oliveri suggested that they might follow a similar pattern as they did with Lilibet.
However, a royal expert has claimed that King Charles would insist on Harry and Meghan showing respect for the royal family and would want titles for their children.
While William’s title in the line of succession as the Prince of Wales has been quickly added for his children, Archie and Lily’s titles remain unchanged.
Royal expert Katie Nicole pointed out that if Charles follows the European style monarchy, Archie and Lily might not receive titles.
Nicole highlighted Charles’ desire for a streamlined monarchy, similar to Queen Marguerite’s recent decision to strip family members, other than those in the direct line of ascension, of their HRH titles.
Whether Archie and Lily will be granted titles is yet to be confirmed by Meghan, Harry, or Buckingham Palace.
Nicole also mentioned that titles hold significance for Charles, particularly regarding the Queen Consort’s title.
The fate of the Duke of Edinburgh title remains uncertain, as it is unclear whether it will be passed down to Archie and Lilibet.
Nicole suggested that if Charles were to grant them the title, it would likely come with certain conditions.
Undoubtedly, the actions of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex will be closely observed during the coronation.
Many royal watchers and experts are speculating about what they might do.
Regardless of their decisions, it is evident that every move made by the couple will continue to be scrutinized by the media and the public.
