The coronation of Charles III already has a definite date and although ‘Operation Golden Orb’, has been years in the making, there are still things that are not yet clear: such as the presence of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.
The British royal family is preparing for an important moment in its history: the coronation of Charles III. A ceremony to be held next May 6, 2023, and will be the first in seven decades.
Although the Duke and Duchess of Sussex were present at the state funeral of Queen Elizabeth II, the couple may not attend the ceremony that will take place in Westminster Abbey.
Will Harry and Meghan attend Charles’ coronation?
The day of Charles and Camilla’s coronation coincides with the fourth birthday of their firstborn, Archie. According to royal editor Duncan Larcombe in statements to ‘Fabulous’, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry could have the perfect excuse not to travel to England.
“As a non-working member of the British royal family, there is nothing that says Prince Harry must be at the coronation. However, the fact that it coincides with Archie’s birthday could give the Duke and Duchess the excuse they need not to attend,” he said. In fact, Larcombe has pointed out that his decision will be marked by what happens over the next few months.
It is expected that the coronation ceremony of Charles and Camilla will be more economical, brief and discreet than the one Elizabeth II had 70 years ago. What is traditional is that it will be held at Westminster Abbey and will include a solemn religious service. This coronation will be history as Camilla will become the first divorced Queen Consort.
