King Charles is reportedly disappointed that Meghan Markle and his two grandchildren won’t be attending his Coronation next month.
Buckingham Palace confirmed on Wednesday, April 12th, 2023, that Prince Harry will be attending the coronation ceremony without his wife and kids.
According to a source cited by The Sun, “The King is happy that Harry, his son, who he calls his ‘darling boy’ will be at the Abbey. He wanted him there.”
The source added, “It is sad, he is very disappointed that he
won’t see Meghan or his grandchildren but understands the situation.”
The
Duke of Sussex is expected to fly over from California in time for the
event, which will take place at Westminster Abbey on May 6th, 2023. The
ceremony also falls on the same day as Prince Archie’s fourth birthday.
Sources
have claimed that Meghan’s main reason for turning down her invitation to
the event was to celebrate Archie’s birthday. Both children were not invited
to the 90-minute Coronation, due to young their age.
Meanwhile, during his stay at the UK, the Duke of Sussex will
reportedly be staying at the Frogmore Cottage, despite the couple being
evicted from their Windsor residence.
Prince Harry will not be
having a role at his father’s Coronation, nor will he be in either
procession between the Palace and Abbey. He will also not be seen at the
Buckingham Palace balcony after the ceremony.
