Prince Harry and his wife Meghan Markle’s children have not yet been invited to the coronation of King Charles III, according to a report published by British newspaper, The Telegraph.
Last week, a spokesperson for Harry and Meghan confirmed via email that the couple had received an official invitation to attend the coronation ceremony at Westminster Abbey on May 6.
However, Archie and Lilibet have yet to invite Harry and Meghan’s children to the party, as The Telegraph tells the couple “will discuss adding two children to the guest list. The Sussexes confirm they will attend.”
One of the royal sources pointed out that Archie and Lilibet are “very young”, stressing that Prince and Princess of Wales William and Kate are still “considering” the presence of their four-year-old son Prince Louis for the ceremony.
It comes after a spokesperson for the couple told The Times that they had not yet decided whether they would attend the coronation.
A report by British newspaper “The Telegraph” last month quoted a friend of Harry as saying that the Duke of Sussex is currently “weighing a lot of things in his mind” to decide whether he and Meghan should travel. England in May to attend the ceremony.
A friend of Harry’s has hinted that the latter is thinking about the British public’s reaction to his and his wife’s presence, as he fears his absence will be seen as an “insult” to his father.
About two weeks ago, Harry said in statements to The Times that he wanted to apologize to King Charles and his older brother Prince William before attending the ceremony.
The Duke has already made it clear that he believes the family should apologize for the way he and his wife Meghan Markle were treated when they were working members of the royal family. He accused members of the royal family of leaking information about them to the media.
Complicating the situation was the fact that Harry and Meghan’s son Archie’s birthday coincided with the coronation, the source pointed out.
Harry and his wife, Meghan, stepped back from their royal duties in 2020 to establish a new life in California.
Several interviews given by the couple and the recent publication of Harry “Spear’s” memoir, in which he made serious allegations against the royal family, have put a severe strain on the relationship between him and his family.
About a week ago, King Charles moved Harry and Meghan out of their only remaining home in England, Frogmore Cottage in Windsor, and gave it to Prince Andrew, Duke of York.
