Meghan Markle and Prince Harry Will Reportedly Be Invited to Prince Charles’ Coronation

King Charles III is scheduled for his official coronation on May 6, 2023, and he is reportedly planning to invite his son Prince Harry and daughter-in-law Meghan Markle from their home in California to the U.K. event. On Friday, the Daily Mail reported that invites have not been sent out yet, but a source said that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex will definitely be welcome to the event at Westminster Abbey in London.

“Harry is his son and His Majesty will always love him,” the insider said. “While things are difficult at the moment, the door will always be left ajar.”

The couple were in the U.K. following the death of Queen Elizabeth II in September and seemed to be repairing a rift in the family. They appeared with the new Prince and Princess of Wales at Windsor to greet well-wishers and see tributes left for the Queen. However, since that reunion, the Sussex’s have released a docuseries on Netflix about their struggles within the royal family and Prince Harry’s memoir Spare is set to be released soon. The coronation date also happens to fall on their son Archie’s 4th birthday.

“The date was chosen because it’s just before the state opening of Parliament and Charles will want to appear as King with his crown and the whole ceremonial (robes),” Tom Bower, author of Revenge: Meghan, Harry, and the War Between the Windsors, told Page Six in October.

The couple is not popular in the U.K., and some have urged Charles to revoke their titles, which they took on in 2018 at the behest of the Queen on their wedding day. That is pretty unlikely to happen, as another royal expert said, “Stripping their title is not something the king would likely ever consider … mostly because it would be too petty and punitive…It would only lead to the Sussexes claiming that it was a retaliatory action and proof they were never wanted in the royal family.”
