Prince Harry has made 7 specific requests to attend the coronation of his father Charles III. He was denied 4.
Last January, Prince Harry gave a long interview to the ITV channel on the occasion of the release of his memoirs Spare. The youngest son of Charles and Lady Di had mentioned his presence, or his absence at the coronation of his father Charles III. He explained that he had presented several official requests to the royal family before making a decision. His specific requests were 7 in number according to sources close to the palace.

The only 3 requests from Harry that have been validated
Of all these requests, only 3 have been formally accepted by the Firm. On the one hand, the invitation has obviously been extended to Meghan Markle for this ceremony and the festivities. But on the other hand, not to their children Archie and Lilibet. The children “small” are automatically excluded from this type of official event. As we now know, Meghan Markle chose to refuse this invitation, preferring to stay in the United States to celebrate Archie’s 4th birthday.
Then the Crown has agreed to pay for Prince Harry’s security, with respect to the ceremony and calendar events only. Prince Harry announced that he would only make an express visit to the ceremony at Westminster, skipping the rest of the festivities. Finally, King Charles III agreed to have an exchange with his son. A peaceful telephone conversation would have already taken place between the two men.

Prince Harry to lay low at coronation
Harry will therefore come alone on May 6 to the coronation of Charles III. The eyes of the whole world will be on the royal family. Everyone is waiting to witness a rapprochement between Harry and William. It will in principle not take place since they should not even cross paths. Prince Harry will be placed in the background, next to the only members of the royal family who still speak to him without fear of being recorded. As soon as the ceremony is over, he will take the plane back to California to be alongsideArchie when he blows out his 4 candles. No doubt he will take the opportunity to take a breather, too…
