Prince Harry 'held peace talks with King Charles' ahead of coronation announcement
ok.co.ukPrince Harry held peace talks with his father before confirming his attendance at next month’s Coronation of King Charles and the Queen Consort, Camilla, according to reports.
Following the release of the explosive Netflix documentary Harry & Meghan and the Duke of Sussex’s memoir Spare, it was unclear whether the youngest son of King Charles would be flying back to the UK with Meghan Markle for the Coronation.
A spokesperson for the US-based couple confirmed that they had received an official invitation, but an official RSVP was not confirmed until last week when Buckingham Palace said: “Buckingham Palace is pleased to confirm that the Duke of Sussex will attend the Coronation Service at Westminster Abbey on 6th May. “The Duchess of Sussex will remain in California with Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.” According to a friend of the controversial couple, Harry, 38, reached out to his father before confirming his attendance but did not speak to his older brother, Prince William.
Speaking to The Telegraph, the friend said that the father and son had “positive conversations” about the upcoming star-studded event. “It is about showing up, showing support and being there for his father,” another source said. “It was a very personal decision, not a PR one.” Following the news, royal expert Tessa Dunlop, who previously said it would be "very hard for Harry not to go", argued that Prince Harry will be nowhere near the iconic Buckingham Palace balcony.
