Meghan and Harry could 'face cold shouldering if they attend Coronation', expert says
10.04.2023 - 10:25 / ok.co.uk
A royal expert has warned that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle should expect the cold shoulder from the royal family if they choose to attend King Charles III’s coronation on 6 May. The couple, who are now based in California, have reportedly been invited to the crowning of the new monarch but it’s not yet known if they plan to attend. With just a few weeks to go until the big day, their decision is now thought to be imminent.
However, royal expert and commentator Daniela Elser has warned the pair that it’s unlikely the family will be rolling out the red carpet for them if they do decide to go. She predicted that they’ll face being “spurned” by “pretty much everyone aside from an inconsequential cousin or two” with every embarrassing snub being caught on camera for viewers at home to relish. Daniela warned that, even if they can accept the “cold shouldering”, they’ll still have to cope with being relegated to a “B-list” role in the coronation at best.
She revealed that they’ll also have to attend without their eldest son Archie, who turns four on the same day, as he’s been left off the guest list entirely in a move she deems surprising, considering Charles was around the same age when he attended his mother’s crowning. It’s also been reported that the couple won’t be allowed to join the rest of the family on the Buckingham Palace balcony after the ceremony. The couple are running out of time to make a decision as plans for the big day are finalised by the Palace, who have recently announced the processional route the King will take.
