The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry, have been making headlines once again as questions arise about their potential attendance at King Charles’ coronation.
While their participation remains uncertain, royal expert Dr. Ed Owens sheds light on the role they would play if they were to attend.
According to Dr. Owens, the couple would have no authority or control over the event, as it will be meticulously planned by the royal household.
Dr. Owens emphasizes that every aspect of the coronation will be carefully orchestrated, leaving no room for improvisation.
The rehearsal schedule alone is expected to be demanding, with every detail planned out in advance.
If Meghan and Harry do attend, they will essentially be supporting actors on the periphery of the main event.
Buckingham Palace will also have complete control over the media coverage surrounding the coronation, including which photographs broadcasters can share with the public.
This level of control was evident during Queen Elizabeth II’s burial service, and it is expected to extend to King Charles’ coronation as well, according to Dr. Owens.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex recently received an invitation to the coronation, as confirmed by one of their representatives.
However, a public announcement regarding their attendance has yet to be made.
It is worth noting that Meghan and Harry have been vocal about their strained relationship with other members of the royal family, particularly King Charles.
In various interviews, a Netflix documentary series, and Prince Harry’s biography, the couple has criticized the royal family and the functioning of the palace.
When asked about his potential attendance at the coronation, Prince Harry expressed that there is still much that can happen before the event takes place.
He stated in an interview, “There’s a lot that can happen between now and then…But the door is always open, you know.
They now have the initiative.
There is a lot to talk about, and I sincerely hope they will agree to have a conversation.”
However, Harry also requested an apology from the royal family, a demand that experts believe is unlikely to be met.
Despite the public disputes, discussions between Harry, Meghan, and the palace have reportedly taken place behind closed doors.
The fact that the couple allegedly considered using their children’s titles during the coronation suggests ongoing negotiations.
Princess Lilibet Diana and Prince Archie Harrison were born in late 2022.
The coronation of King Charles is scheduled to take place on May 6 at Westminster Abbey, with global broadcast coverage.
It remains to be seen whether Meghan Markle and Prince Harry will be in attendance, but one thing is certain – their role, if present, will be limited and carefully controlled by the royal household.
