Prince Harry attends coronation while Meghan stays home

Britain’s Prince Harry will attend the coronation of his father King Charles III, Buckingham Palace said on Wednesday.

His wife Meghan will remain in California with the couple’s young children.

Charles’ coronation will take place on May 6. His mother, Queen Elizabeth, died in September last year.

“The Duchess of Sussex will remain in California with Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.”

The date of the coronation coincides with the birthday of Harry and Meghan’s son.

Harry is invited despite family feud

The announcement puts to rest speculation over whether the prince – who has leveled accusations of racism and media manipulation at the royal family – will receive an invitation to the event.

Asked in a January interview if he would attend the coronation if invited, Harry said: “A lot can happen between now and then. But the door is always open.”

Harry was last in the UK at the end of March. He attended a court case that he and several other senior figures filed against the British magazine’s publisher. daily mail newspaper about allegations of wiretapping and other privacy violations.

Harry and Meghan moved to Vancouver Island in Canada and then to Los Angeles in 2020.
