Prince Harry was convinced to go to King Charles Coronation out of fears he would regret not going, sources have claimed. Despite his estranged relationship with the royals, Harry will be attending the celebration on May 6.
Buckingham Palace announced on Wednesday that the Duke of Sussex would be part of the congregation inside Westminster Abbey for the historic event next month. But he will be attending solo, as Meghan Markle will remain in California with their two children.
It's believed that Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet didn't receive invitations to the Coronation due to their age, as sources cited the Sussexes children are "very young". While Harry will attend the event, he is not expected to take part in the King’s Procession or the Coronation Procession to and from Buckingham Palace, writes the Mirror.
He is also unlikely to stand on the balcony, as Charles has reserved that for working members of the royal family. According to royal sources, Harry was aware that the historic occasion will be "pretty much the most important day" of his fathers life.
Sources told The Telegraph that Harry knew he would always regret it if he turned down the invitation to the Coronation. While Meghan has always spoken highly of Charles, she doesn't have the same connection to the royals or the UK.
Wednesday's announcement now ends weeks of speculation about whether or not the couple would be at the Coronation, which has been causing a lot of drama behind-the-scenes.
In a statement, the Palace: "Buckingham Palace is pleased to confirm that the Duke of Sussex will attend the Coronation Service at Westminster Abbey on 6th May. The Duchess of Sussex will remain in California with Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet."
According to sources, Harry wanted a meeting with his estranged father and brother to clear the air before the Coronation. A source told The Mirror: "Harry has been very clear and his position hasn't wavered – he isn't going to come if he feels the atmosphere will be as toxic as it was during the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee and funeral.
"He's said he wants to reconcile with his family and it’s their call, but so far nothing has changed."
