There is less than a month left until the coronation of the new King and Queen of Britain, and Monday of last week passed the deadline for announcing guests that they will be present on Coronation Day.
– It’s a very strong family
King Charles, 74, had planned the coronation for a long time, as preparations began long before the death of Queen Elizabeth.
Among other things, the monarch wants an intimate ceremony, one that is much more pared down than his mother’s in 1953. That is likely to have consequences for Prince Harry, 38, and Duchess Meghan, 41.
Still not confirmed
As mentioned, all guests must have been informed at the outset that they are coming or not, as the deadline expired on Monday 3rd April.
A week later, it is still not known if the royal son, Prince Harry, and his wife and children will arrive.
There have been icy fronts within the royal family – especially after the latter couple appeared in a highly controversial interview with Oprah Winfrey (69) and the prince subsequently published a revealing and detailed biography in which the royal family was poorly painted.
– terrible argument
– They are invited, anything else would look very strange. Choosing them to come is another matter, says Caroline Fagel, an expert on the royal house of Se og Hør.
In January, Prince Harry demanded, among other things, that his father and brother, Prince William, 40, take responsibility and apologize to Duchess Meghan for the past few years.
– Maybe Harry is waiting for the apology he asked for? “There will be big headlines no matter what they fall on,” Fagel says.
Missing from the balcony
After the coronation, which will take place in Westminster Abbey on May 6, King Charles and Queen Camilla (75) are expected to drive to Buckingham Palace, where they will greet people from the balcony.
Several British media have reported that the monarch only wants a careful selection of people on the balcony – and that doesn’t look very bright for Harry and Meghan.
Ridiculous allegations
– If they chose to come, I don’t think they would stand on the balcony with the King and Queen. It’s become the case that the royals are only supposed to stand there, which they’re not, says Vagle, and adds:
Unless the king is excluded from the coronation, then because it is a special occasion.
He writes that all of Prince William’s children are expected to attend to witness the coronation Fox News. According to Vagle, it is uncertain if Archie (3) and Lilibeth (1) will be seen.
– If Harry and Meghan come, I think they will take the children with them to London. After all, it’s the same date as Archie’s birthday. Fagel says it is more doubtful that the children would be part of the formal program because they are so young.
