Should Prince Harry and Meghan Markle attend the coronation, the palace has a difficult task ahead of it. How to properly position the king’s son as an ex-royal? An expert has already identified a role model.
London – While royal fans are currently wondering if the estranged son and daughter-in-law of King Charles III (74) will be coming from California to England for his coronation in a few months, the palace has other concerns. There, the question is currently much more what should happen to Meghan Markle (41) and Prince Harry (38) if they actually come to London. The search is for the appropriate position as the son of the king, who in his memoirs did not shy away from attacks on the members of the royal family and who also turned his back on the monarchy.
Author Katie Nicholl advises looking to Harry’s cousins Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie for guidance
Not an easy task. But according to the experts, the nut is not that difficult to crack. Now that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are no longer working as royals – much like Princess Beatrice, 34, and Princess Eugenie, 32, they could be given the same status as Prince Harry’s two cousins at the royal celebrations.
Conditions are considered tense. After his attacks on his family, Prince Harry left no doubt about his attitude, which he promptly trumpeted loudly on a TV show on a promotional tour for his bestseller “Spare”: He sees the ball in the field of his royal relatives London. King Charles has made his position clear and wishes that at least Harry should attend his coronation. And that’s without all the attention revolving around the Sussexes rather than the actual occasion.
Katie Nichols: Harry and Meghan should ‘not steal the show from the main characters’
In the magazine Vanity Fair writes royal expert Katie Nicholl: “Now that they are no longer working royals, the Sussexes can expect to be treated in the same way as Harry’s cousins, Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie, who may attend important family events but are not in the spotlight and not appear on the balcony of Buckingham Palace”. Continuing in Nicholl’s rule book: “The focus will be on King Charles, Queen Camilla (75), Prince William (40) and Princess Kate (41)”.
Katie added that this is similar to the Late Queen Elizabeth II Platinum Jubilee Celebrations (96, † 2022) will be in the last year where they “didn’t steal the show from the main characters”. During the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee celebrations last June, Harry and Meghan neither took part in the carriage procession at Trooping the Color nor appeared on the balcony reserved for working royals. However, they attended a thanksgiving service despite not sitting in the front row, and they chose not to join the royals in the royal box at the palace concert.
