Things may be tense between Prince Harry and King Charles III, but they HAVE spoken! We know what you’re thinking: seriously!?
This hopeful news comes from a People source on Wednesday. The insider gushed about the estranged relatives having had “positive conversations” leading up to the coronation.

The fact they’ve been in communication seems especially important considering Charles didn’t even formally invite the Duke and Duchess of Sussex to his event personally. According to a close friend, they were invited via an email from his father’s office:
We can see how that would be disappointing. While it is pretty typical for the royals to communicate with others via their teams, Harry isn’t just any other guest. He’s the King’s son!

All he’s been asking for is some real communication with his family, and this email was proof to him that the “sit-down” he’d publicly requested wasn’t going to happen. Tough!

When it came to Elizabeth, who died in September, there were several nods made by her son and his second wife, largely in the outfits they wore during Saturday's ceremony at Westminster Abbey in London, England. When it came to the king, his Stole Royal was inspired by one worn by his mother during her coronation in 1953 and featured a series of roundels that included the four emblems of the United Kingdom. Camilla's outfit featured several more notable nods to Elizabeth, with the new queen wearing her late mother-in-law's historic «coronation necklace.» First commissioned by Queen Victoria in 1853, it was also worn by Elizabeth during her crowning ceremony in 1953. Additionally, Camilla's «Robe of State,» which was worn upon her arrival at Westminster Abbey, was originally made for Elizabeth in 1953. Her «Robe of Estate,» meanwhile, was embroidered with 24 plants, including the Lily of the Valley, which was the late queen's favorite flower. During the ceremony, Camilla was crowned with Queen Mary's Crown, which was made for the 1911 coronation of Queen Mary, the consort of King George V.
