Prince Harry is anticipated to receive heightened security measures at the upcoming King’s Coronation due to the intense public interest in the controversy surrounding his ties with the royal family, as per an expert’s analysis.

The Duke of Sussex is scheduled to travel to the UK to join his father at Westminster Abbey on May 6th, Buckingham Palace revealed on Wednesday.

Meanwhile, Meghan Markle and their two children, Archie and Lilibet, will remain in California during this time.

Dr. Jonathan Spangler, a respected royal commentator and senior history lecturer at Manchester Met University, shared insights with Express.co.uk, indicating that Harry’s presence is likely to prompt an escalation in security arrangements.

He emphasized the certainty of an increase in security measures for the occasion.

Dr. Spangler delved into the significant public fascination surrounding the impending coronation and the ongoing rift between the Duke and Duchess of Sussex and the royal household.

He highlighted the dual layers of media interest, with one faction of paparazzi focused on documenting the royal event itself, while another segment seeks to capture the unfolding narrative and controversies.

Prince Harry has been embroiled in a very public feud with the monarchy for an extended period.

The 38-year-old has been outspoken about his past life as a senior royal, recently intensifying his disclosures through a forthcoming memoir and promotional interviews.

Through various platforms such as interviews, the Sussexes’ Netflix documentary series, and his memoir, he has openly criticized certain members of the royal family, particularly targeting his father, Prince William, and the Queen Consort.

The preparations for the coronation occur amidst Prince Harry’s persistent disagreement with the British authorities regarding security issues, a matter he has raised concerns about on multiple occasions.

He has previously expressed apprehensions about the safety of returning to the UK without dedicated police protection officers for himself and his family.

Notably, last year, Harry opted out of attending the memorial service for his late grandfather, Prince Philip, held nearly a year after the latter’s passing in April 2021, citing security worries as the primary reason for his absence.

On the day of the memorial, veteran royal photographer Arthur Edwards dismissed Harry’s security concerns as mere excuses, asserting that his presence at the event was expected.
