This week, Buckingham Palace began detailing what to expect at Prince Charles’ upcoming coronation ceremony; though it’s not as wild as Prince Harry’s Replacement bombs, that’s pretty cool. We’ve learned that there will be plenty of opportunities to celebrate the momentous occasion outside of the royal ceremony, through a variety of events including a grand coronation luncheon, a coronation concert and something the royal family is calling “The Big Help Out.” . What the new details don’t address is the elephant in the room or, in this case, whether the “spare part” will be there.
While an earlier report said Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were unlikely to be invited sit with prince charles and the rest of the family at the royal coronation event, it should be noted that the palace has kept details of attendees under wraps in general. That hasn’t stopped the speculation rampant, as some believe Prince Harry and Meghan won’t be in attendance. news from heaven Host Paul Murray even speculated that if William’s brother showed up he wouldn’t have much to do, which would fit with the back story he probably would have been sitting in.
It’s pretty obvious that Harry’s role, if there is one, will be a quarter of a miss, and to be honest, with good reason.
The Coronation Weekend will take place between Saturday 6 and Monday 8 May. It is the sixth that will be the notable service, followed by a walk in which the royal family is invited to participate. Then there will be the appearance on the balcony of the King and his family. Earlier reports indicated that these could only be linked to the active royal family, but there has been no commitment from the royal family.
Prince Harry has already been asked if, especially after all the publicity and storytelling he’s been doing, he felt like he was being invited to the coronation. He told ITV in an interview a few weeks ago that a lot can happen between now and the coronation in a few months, telling Tom Bradby:
There are many things that can happen between now and then. But the door is always open. The ball is in his court. There is a lot to discuss and I really hope you are ready to sit down and talk about it.
Prince Harry also said at the time (via the Guardian) that he doesn’t “know” whether he will have a hand in the future of the monarchy. However, he had previously said that he would like to reconnect with Prince William and King Charles.
Tension within the royal family has recently increased. News broke this week that Prince Andrew has been told (via The Sun) that he will no longer be allowed to use his bedroom at Buckingham Palace in the future following a sexual abuse trial.
Also, from Prince Harry’s new book Replacement in stores on January 10, with “spare” obviously referring to the concept of having a second child to ensure a family’s bloodline, and presumably taken from a joke made by King Charles. They the book conquered the internet and led to a variety of stories about the family, told by Harry himself, although a side effect of Replacement the popularity of This would have had a negative impact on Prince William and Kate.
However, there are still a few months left before the upcoming events unfold and the royal family is reunited in the past, most notably when Queen Elizabeth II passed away. Whether a balcony date is in the cards is another matter.
