The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, have not yet confirmed whether they will be attending the coronation of King Charles on May 6th.
Reports suggest that certain members of the royal family have reservations about their presence at the event.
In a recent episode of the Pod Save the King podcast, co-hosts Russell Myers and Zoe Forsey discussed the potential reunion between Harry and Meghan and the rest of the royals.
Myers stated that while the couple is still undecided, they will undoubtedly receive an invitation.
He questioned why they would want to miss out on such a historic opportunity and suggested they would regret not attending.
Forsey echoed this sentiment, emphasizing the significance of the event regardless of any tensions.
However, sources indicate that Harry and Meghan may choose not to attend if they are met with the same awkward atmosphere experienced during the late Queen’s platinum jubilee celebrations and funeral.
Some members of the royal family remain deeply hurt and believe that the couple should not be present at the coronation, fearing it may turn into a circus.
Myers acknowledged the difficult position this puts Harry in, as he anticipates a similar reception.
In his memoir, Harry expressed his desire for a sit-down conversation with his family, particularly his brother and father, to address the tensions between them and seek reconciliation or, at the very least, an apology.
However, no progress has been made since Harry’s media interviews last month, and Myers doubts that any substantial discussions will occur before the coronation.
The lack of pleasantries from the family when Harry arrived at Balmoral after his grandmother’s death further emphasizes the ongoing issue.
Myers believes it is unlikely that tensions will cool anytime soon, and Harry may have to accept this reality.
Royal expert and commentator Fitzwilliams suggested that Harry might opt to stay home to avoid further public scrutiny, considering his security concerns.
Fitzwilliams explained that Harry’s revelations about personally killing members of Taliban insurgents may exacerbate his worries about security.
Despite these concerns and speculations, some royal commentators believe that Harry and Meghan will ultimately attend the coronation.
They argue that it would be a regrettable decision to miss out on such a momentous occasion, regardless of any tensions.
It is expected that Harry and Meghan will receive an invitation, as the king would not want to exclude them.
The comments made by Myers and Forsey reflect the ongoing speculation and curiosity surrounding the Duke and Duchess.
While some believe that the royal family has reservations about their attendance, others remain optimistic that they will participate in the coronation.
Only time will tell whether the couple will attend the event and what kind of reception they will receive from the royal family.
