King Charles has a plan – to lure Harry to the coronation

On the biggest day of his life, he also wants to have his problem son with him, although the signs aren’t looking too good so far.

On May 6th, Britain will crown a new monarch for the first time in 70 years. King Charles III (74) will celebrate his coronation with his people and family. Whether Prince Harry (38) is coming or not – the king’s son did not know that until recently and should now be convinced.

After retiring from royal life, moving to the United States, the joint Netflix documentary with his wife Meghan (41) AND Harry’s explosive biography, which appeared in January, there can no longer be any question of harmony among the British royal family. Because: Harry had made serious allegations against the palace and his family members in “Reserve”.

But Charles is convinced: If Prince Harry does not attend his coronation, his absence could do far more harm than his presence. She would be far too distracting.

And to prevent this damage, he now, according to the “Mail on Sunday” none other than asked to help him the spiritual leader of England. The plan: to create incentives for Harry that he can’t refuse.

seating arrangement

Charles wants to secure Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan a high-profile seating position at London’s Westminster Abbey, where he and Camilly will be crowned.

At the Queen’s funeral in St. George’s Chapel in Windsor, Harry only sat in the second row as a royal no longer active for the monarchy.

Another issue: “He resents being publicly lumped in with Andrew as the two ‘problem princes’ when he believes the circumstances are vastly different,” a source is quoted as saying. This should also be taken into account in favor of Harry when planning the coronation.

Prince Andrew (62), the Queen’s third child, had fallen out of favor with the monarchy and the British people over allegations of sexual abuse and, like Harry, lost his military titles.

The balcony question remains open: Harry and Meghan traveled to London for the 70th anniversary of his grandmother Queen Elizabeth’s throne in June 2022. At that time, however, only the closest family members were present on the balcony of Buckingham Palace, taking on representative tasks.

Harry’s title

Although Harry and Meghan involuntarily gave up their aristocratic titles His/Her Royal Highness after their retirement from royal life, they remain the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. They received the titles from the Queen on their wedding day in May 2018.

After the release of their Netflix documentary and Harry’s book, calls for them to give up their titles grew louder. But to take part in the coronation and then lose his title at some point? That would be out of the question for Harry.

“Although he may eventually decide to drop his titles of his own accord, he rejects the idea of ​​being forced to do so,” a source is quoted as saying in the British newspaper.

Means: This should also be one of the negotiation points between King CharlesHarry and their intermediary, the Archbishop of Canterbury.

William split

Who is not enthusiastic about these negotiations? Heir to the throne Prince William (40). Harry’s older brother is said to be concerned that Harry will use the coronation to stage a “stunt” that would overshadow the event.

William’s demand: If Harry and Meghan really come, every point of their participation in the coronation must be precisely planned and followed.

While the king seems to be holding on to his younger son, the heir to the throne is obviously fed up with Harry’s behavior…
