Royal family news points to Prince Harry somehow turning King Charles’ coronation into an event about the son rather than the father. And the self-obsessed Duke of Sussex even got his wife Meghan Markle to take his viewpoint. As a result, the California-based couple created their very own rule book for the coronation.

Prince Harry – Wants HIS Rules Obeyed At King’s Coronation!
In what royal etiquette book does a prince decide what occurs at a king’s coronation? Although none such exists, that lack doesn’t bother Prince Harry. And so the Duke of Sussex teamed up with his wife Meghan Markle to establish ground rules for whether the couple will attend King Charles’ coronation, insiders told Sky News.
For instance, Harry and Meghan agreed that they don’t want to make a definite commitment just yet. But though the two remain hesitant about flying to London for the May 6 coronation, they do know one definite requirement rule for their attendance. And that involves the Duke of Sussex’s concerns about his welcome (or lack thereof).
“Harry has been very clear,” shared one source. “And his position hasn’t wavered. He isn’t going to come if he feels the atmosphere will be as toxic as it was during the Queen’s (Elizabeth) Platinum Jubilee and funeral.”

Queen Elizabeth’s – Platinum Jubilee Set Stage For Coronation Clash
Because of the Platinum Jubilee atmosphere, Harry feels hesitant about a repeat at the coronation. And that hesitation stems from what the Duke of Sussex views as a lack of attention. For instance, while the rest of the royal family celebrated Queen Elizabeth’s decades of devotion, Harry and Meghan got stuck in the background.
And the Duke of Sussex also observed the working royal family members standing on Buckingham Palace’s balcony. But Harry did not enjoy that privilege. And though he did get to introduce his daughter Lilibet to the Queen, Harry and Meghan did not join Charles and William for extended family time. That lack reportedly added to the strained relationships.
As a result of all these factors, the Duke of Sussex might even head alone to the coronation. And that would leave Meghan celebrating their son Archie’s fourth birthday. The youngster’s birthday occurs on the same day as the coronation. But regardless of whether Harry goes alone or with Meghan, the crowd likely will boo rather than cheer the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, claim insiders.

Prince Harry – Could Become ‘Unwelcome Distraction’ During Coronation
For instance, one insider shared that the British public no longer trust Harry. “Many people feel they can’t be trusted,” shared the source. As a result, the insider predicted that the Duke of Sussex “will likely be booed in the crowds during the coronation. And that will obviously be an unwelcome distraction. But on the other hand, you could say this is sort of a power play by King Charles,” noted the source.
And the power play theory rests on the King inviting Meghan and Harry. “Because by inviting them and them turning down the invitation, it looks like they have rejected the olive branch that’s so obviously been extended,” pointed out the insider. And the source also noted that Harry and Meghan always want to spin their own narrative to favor themselves.
