It has been officially confirmed by Prince Harry and Meghan Markle that they have been invited to the King's Coronation. Whilst the couple have received invitations, they have not stated whether they will be attending the ceremony on May 6 or not.
The news of their invite comes after months of speculation on whether the couple would be invited due to the ongoing rift between Prince Harry and other members of the Royal Family. A spokesperson for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex has told The Times: "I can confirm The Duke has recently received email correspondence from His Majesty's office regarding the Coronation.
"An immediate decision on whether the Duke and Duchess will attend will not be disclosed by us at this time." Whether or not the pair will attend remains uncertain, especially following Harry's string of accusations aimed towards the family, and various claims made in the couple's Netflix series, which was released in December, reports The Daily Express.
The Royal Family has remained tight-lipped on all the allegations made but the King is said to have been "hit hard" by the claims. It has also been suggested that Harry's accusations towards his stepmother, the Queen Consort, were what "crossed the line" and led to the King's decision to evict the couple from their Windsor-based home, Frogmore Cottage.
During an interview, which coincided with the release of Spare in January, Harry deemed Camilla as "dangerous" and expressed his fears she would become an "evil stepmother". He also claimed he and Prince William begged their father not to marry her.
Following speculation over the eviction, a spokesperson for the couple confirmed, earlier this week, that they had been "requested to vacate" the home. Speaking to Tom Bradby for his ITV interview in January, Harry refused to commit to his attendance at the King's Coronation.
When asked how he'd respond if he was invited, Harry said: "There is a lot that can happen between now and then." Harry added that the "ball is in their court".
In addition to members of the British Royal Family, the guestlist for the historic event will include the Prime Minister, heads of state and international royals. The couple last stayed at Frogmore Cottage in June 2022, while visiting the UK for the Queen's Platinum Jubilee.
However, it has been claimed the couple barely strayed from the confinements of the property, only leaving for the events they attended and flying back to Montecito before the celebrations officially ended.
