Harry and Meghan ‘are invited to King Charles’ coronation but are unlikely to attend’

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are expected to “find a reason not to go to King Charles’ coronation” although they are expected to be invited despite Prince Harry’s bombshell memoir.

It would be very “hard for her” to attend, said a royal source close to the family after “what was said”.

The couple are not expected to play a formal role at the event, where the king will be officially crowned after his accession to the throne in September following the death of his mother, Queen Elizabeth II.

Sources say hopes for a reconciliation with the Sussexes are limited while the Duke of Sussex remains “kidnapped by a cult of psychotherapy and Meghan.”

King Charles, who will be officially crowned at the event after ascending the throne in September following the death of his mother, does not expect his son to attend

The fallout from the release of Prince Harry’s long-awaited memoir continues as the Duke of Sussex has repeatedly insisted he wants to have a relationship with his family.

A royal source said the king does not expect his son to attend his event on May 6.

The source explained that the family expects the Sussexes to politely give a reason for not attending.

“The family will extend the invite but it would be very difficult for Harry and Meghan to be there given what was said in the interviews and the book.

“The family expects Harry and Meghan to find a reason not to be there,” the source told The Independent.

Senior royals remain convinced a reconciliation with Harry will not be possible as he has effectively been ‘kidnapped’, the source claimed

The palace is yet to release plans for the lavish ceremony and the guest list has not yet been agreed.

Organizers said the elaborate event will “reflect the role of the monarch today” and “look to the future while being rooted in long-standing traditions and pageantry”.

Prince Harry has said in several interviews that he would like to be reconciled with his brother and father.

And that’s despite accusing his brother of physically assaulting him and calling Queen Camilla a “bad guy”.

Senior royals don’t believe a reconciliation will be possible while Prince Harry remains effectively “kidnapped by a cult of psychotherapy and Meghan,” the source added.
