As the anticipation builds around Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s impending decision on attending next month’s coronation, speculations are rife over whether the couple will indeed grace the event with their presence.
The royals had set a deadline of April 3rd for their response, yet uncertainty looms as the duo remains silent on their attendance.
Renowned royal author Andrew Lowney, known for his work “Traitor King: The Scandalous Exile of the Duke and Duchess of Windsor,” has stirred the pot by suggesting that Prince Harry might make a solo trip to the UK, leaving Meghan and their children behind.
Lowney hinted at the possibility of Harry flying unaccompanied, potentially as a step towards reintegrating him into the royal circle.
With Prince Argy Harrison, Harry’s son, turning four on the day of the coronation, there are whispers of a low-key celebration in California, where the family currently resides.
Express.co.uk exclusively spoke to Mr. Lowney, who expressed his view that Harry’s solo attendance could signify a strategic move in his reconciliation process with the royal family.
Insiders have disclosed to various media outlets that the Sussexes are slated to unveil their plans for the grand event on May 6th.
A source mentioned to the Times that the couple’s decision-making process might have been influenced by President Biden’s withdrawal from the occasion due to scheduling conflicts, with Dr. Jill Biden set to represent the US at the coronation.
Amidst the ongoing deliberations, uncertainties persist regarding Harry and Meghan’s final stance on the invitation.
The ambiguity surrounding their attendance has reportedly left even Prince William puzzled, according to sources cited by the Daily Beast.
Nevertheless, reports from the New York Post suggest that the couple is likely to make a special trip for the coronation, which is expected to captivate viewers worldwide.
Sources close to the discussions between the Sussexes and Buckingham Palace have highlighted the time sensitivity of the matter, emphasizing the historical significance of the event.
The hope remains that Harry and Meghan will grace the occasion, despite the complexities surrounding their familial dynamics and privacy concerns.
Royal expert Kinsey Schofield weighed in on the unfolding saga, speculating that the couple’s desire for privacy might be a driving factor behind their delayed decision.
Schofield noted that Harry and Meghan have been discreet about their movements, particularly in and out of the UK, citing security reasons as a primary concern.
In light of the mounting curiosity surrounding Meghan and Harry’s potential attendance at the coronation, the palace is believed to have been informed of their intentions.
The request for discretion underscores the couple’s commitment to ensuring a safe and secure journey to the highly anticipated royal event.
