Read our privacy policy King Charles III is reportedly “very disappointed” that his daughter-in-law the Duchess of Sussex nor his grandchildren, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, will attend his and Queen Camilla’s coronation next month. The palace’s statement said: “Buckingham Palace is pleased to confirm that the Duke of Sussex will attend the Coronation Service at Westminster Abbey on 6 May. Meghan’s absence from the coronation has been branded a “snub” by some critics, but royal author Omid Scobie said that Archie’s fourth birthday was a “factor in the couple’s decision”. Scobie, who co-authored the biography Finding Freedom: Harry and Meghan, tweeted in response to the palace statement: “Expect it to be a fairly quick trip to the UK for Prince Harry, who will only be attending the coronation at Westminster Abbey.” It is not known if Harry will spend a night in the UK, but if he does, it is unclear where he will stay after the King requested he and Meghan vacate Frogmore Cottage.
