Prince Harry will attend King Charles' coronation sans his wife, Meghan Markle. He will reportedly be seated away from the seniors and has no official role, but some might still focus on him, according to a report.
Prince Harry Will Have The Spotlight During The Coronation?
According to Showbiz CheatSheet, the Duke of Sussex may not have an official role at the crowning of his father on May 6 at Westminster Abbey. However, all will still be on him.
The outlet noted that he would face the royal family for the first time after he dropped his memoir Spare earlier this year. It's also his first reunion with them after he and Markle dropped their Netflix docuseries Harry & Meghan in December.
Thus, royal fans will likely be looking after his encounters with the members of the firm. Several experts believed that he would receive an icy reception at the event.
Former royal butler Paul Burrell spoke with GB News about Prince Harry's attendance at the event. According to him, Prince Harry's brother will be seated "10 rows back." He's also not seeing him and his family reconciling during the festivity.
Burrell said via Sky News:
"There is no chance of a reconciliation anytime soon, I'm afraid - I think he will get a very icy reception from the Windsors."
Although many will be watching Prince Harry, Burrell believes that he will be "in and out in a flash." The Duke of Sussex is not expected to stay in his home country for a couple of days and may spend less than 24 hours in the U.K.
Burrell said.
"Harry is not going to hang around. He doesn't want to spend much time around them. He will be in and out in a flash."
Prince Harry Reportedly Wants To Support Father King Charles
There are various speculations about Prince Harry's attendance at his father's coronation. Some claimed that he would be showing up to stay relevant after all the attacks he did against his family.
However, sources told People and The Telegraph that he would be there for one reason — to support the King.
The People's source said:
"At this point, it's become so personal. Maybe what they wanted wasn't achieved, but at the end of the day, he's going there to support his dad."
