Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have been in “email correspondence” with King Charles’ office over whether they will attend the coronation. Following the publication of Harry’s controversial memoir Spare, and the Netflix documentary series Harry & Meghan which proceeded it, it has been unclear whether the Duke and his wife would be invited to the ceremony on May 6.The Coronation of the King and Queen Consort will take place at Westminster Abbey on the Saturday morning, conducted by the Archbishop of Canterbury.Tens of thousands of street parties are expected to be staged during the weekend, with people urged to come together across the nation for the Coronation Big Lunch on May 7.

King Charles III makes his official ascent to the throne, but the afterparty is shaping up to be anything but epic.According to reports, a long list of British A-listers, ranging from Elton John and Ed Sheeran to Harry Styles and Adele — even the Spice Girls — have declined invitations to perform at the big bash.And while John and Styles are said to have declined due to scheduling conflicts, as the Sun reported on Feb. 25, experts say it’s no wonder so many others have given firm no’s to The Firm.

The Sun, John was at the top of Charles’ list, but due to his European tour schedule, which sees him performing in Germany the Friday before the coronation and again soon after the event, he won’t be able to make it.Harry Styles is also busy touring and unable to get key band members together, as they’ll be on a break from his tour.The Spice Girls were previously rumored to be reuniting for the coronation, but it looks like that won’t be happening either, according to The Daily Mail. This news is surely disappointing to fans of the group, which has been largely on hiatus for years.Similarly, Marie Claire reports that Adele and Ed Sheeran have declined the invitation, though Adele’s camp apparently didn’t provide a reason.Despite the setbacks, some musicians have agreed to perform at the coronation.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have sparked fears they could upstage King Charles’ Coronation by going big on Archie’s birthday celebrations.

If they do fly back to the UK in early May, insiders say they still intend to throw a party for Archie - as they would have done in California.

Several British stars have turned down the offer to help ring in King Charles III’s coronation. Multiple reports claimed that Harry Styles, Elton John, Robbie Williams and the Spice Girls have all declined to perform at the coronation concert on May 7 on the grounds of Windsor Castle.The king and his wife Camilla, queen consort, are being crowned on May 6. It was previously reported that Adele and Ed Sheeran also said no to the historical gig.
