PRINCE Harry could attend King Charles’ Coronation without Meghan Markle, insiders have claimed.
The palace is reportedly making plans for a swift 48-hour visit from the Duke of Sussex – but the duchess will remain in California with their children.
Prince Harry could attend the coronation without Meghan, insiders claim
The plan – dubbed ‘Harry in a hurry’ – would see him make a brief appearance at the event on May 6.
But Meghan would stay at home to celebrate Archie’s fourth birthday, reports The Mail on Sunday.
The special bank holiday weekend will see a series of processions and the King appearing on the Palace balcony twice.
After the service, the newly-crowned King and Queen Consort will take part in a large ceremonial parade known as the Coronation Procession.
As non-working Royals it is not yet clear what role the Sussexes would play in these wider festivities and balcony moments.
The Royal Family are still reeling from the revelations in Prince Harry’s biography Spare and the Sussexes’ tell-all Netflix bombshells including his fight with Prince William.
He alleged that he was attacked by his brother the Prince of Wales, and accused the Queen Consort of leaking stories to the press.
It has only added fuel to the fire of his stormy relationships with the Royals – but Harry admitted he would still like to see his father be crowned.
During an interview with Tom Bradby to pedal his book, he said: “There’s a lot that can happen between now and then.
“But, the door is always open. The ball is in their court.
“There’s a lot to be discussed and I really hope that they’re willing to sit down and talk about it.”
Royal sources hinted that peace talks could be on the cards in the coming months to stop the feud overshadowing the coronation.
But some Royals are said to be concerned that their discussions may “make it into the paperback edition of Spare.”
Hundreds of officials across Whitehall and the Foreign Office are working on the plans, with tens of thousands expected in the capital to cheer on the new King.
The guestlist has been drawn up by the Palace but in close consultation with 10 Downing Street and the Foreign Office – with scores of foreign royals and leaders all expected to attend.
