Buckingham Palace has confirmed that Prince Harry will be attending the coronation of King Charles III at Westminster Abbey on May 6, but Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, will not be present.
This announcement confirms earlier speculations about the couple’s attendance at the event. The coronation will be Prince Harry’s first appearance with the Royal Family since his best-selling memoir, “Spare,” which revealed the extent of family tensions.
Despite being contacted about attending the coronation more than a month ago, Meghan will not be present. The decision for her not to attend is likely to add to the ongoing tensions between the Sussexes and the Royal Family.
The public will also be curious to see what part Prince Harry will play in the ceremony since he is no longer a working royal.
The coronation ceremony will take place alongside a long weekend of public events and concerts that the Royal Family is expected to attend, including Prince William, who is expected to have a prominent role in the coronation as the Prince of Wales.
