Harry and Meghan invited to attend Charles III’s coronation in May

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have been invited to attend the coronation of King Charles III, reports Sunday March 5 The Sunday Times (article in English for subscribers). According to a spokesperson for the couple quoted by the British daily, Prince Harry “recently received an email from her majesty’s office about the coronation” of Charles III, 74, to be held on May 6. “An immediate decision on the attendance of the Duke and Duchess will not be communicated from our side at this stage”said the spokesperson.

The return of the “Sussex” to the UK to attend the coronation has been the subject of much speculation in the British media in recent months, after the couple’s virulent attacks on the royal family. After a documentary aired on Netflix in December, Harry, 38, published his controversial memoir entitled The Alternatein which he recounts his adolescence marked by drugs and alcohol and details the breakdown of his relationship with his father, King Charles III, and his brother William.

Harry and Meghan have only returned to the UK on rare occasions since leaving in 2020, including to attend Queen Elizabeth II’s funeral last September. The Duke of Sussex had traveled alone for the funeral of his grandfather Prince Philip in 2021, in the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic. During these trips, the couple stayed at Frogmore Cottage, a royal residence in Windsor, which King Charles III asked them to return, a spokesman for the couple said earlier this week.
