Prince Harry and Meghan Markle will not appear in any royal processions on the balcony of Buckingham Palace alongside other working members of the royal family if they do end up attending the coronation, it has been revealed.
King Charles has officially invited the couple to the coronation, but there has not yet been an official response.
The King may reportedly offer the couple a suite of rooms in Buckingham Palace that previously belonged to the Duke of York, after asking them to vacate their UK residence, Frogmore Cottage.
It is understood that the King has instead offered the keys to Frogmore Cottage to his disgraced brother, who is said to be “resisting” any attempt to move him out of his current home, the Royal Lodge. Analysts believe the latest move is to punish the couple for their series of public attacks against the royal institution through their netflix docuseries and Prince Harry’s subsequent book ‘spare’.
Offering the couple a property where Prince Andrew formerly lived and giving the disgraced Prince the Cottage is a way of punishing them through stealth. An informal way of reminding them of their place in the heirachichal structure of the institution.
On Saturday evening, Harry took part in a new interview with author Gabor Mate, during which he revealed that the lack of physical affection he received as a child impacts the way he parents his two children, Archie and Lilibet, today.
He has criticised his upbringing in numerous interviews, but neither King Charles III nor anyone on their behalf has come out to officially address his publicly addressed complaints. Prince Harry once described the silence as a ”deafening silence. However, the conventional view is that the royal family do not want to engage with his public to keep matters private. Though even one side of a story told openly becomes public.
Harry wants accountability, but his family tacitly say he stepped over the line, but cannot be completely excluded from the coronation, since he is family.
However, there has been as much public displeasure in the couple going public with their family as there have been those who consider Prince William in his right to tell his story from his perspective. The hurt duke of sussex has held nothing back in expressing his frustrations over the years, and the details underlying his pains will be evaluated by different critics, likely producing different views
Harry feels he has been ill treated by his family, and that they owe him an apology. Some share his views and others think he went too far in publishing the book. The mere detailed revelations about unhappy private incidences in the royal family is taboo in that setting.
Harry feels he did not receive enough love and affection, and hs in the past spoken of ‘breaking the cycle” of lack of love.
Both sides of the equation feel hurt, and there are no immediate solutions in sight, except future ceremonies that may require the formal attendance of the duke and duchess of sussexes. If Prince Harry and Meghan Markle decline to attend important occasions when invited, it would cause the tension to spiral down another route in potentially a more degenerating state.
The fall out between the sussexeses and the royal family has engulfed known personalities like Piers Morgan and Jeremy Clarkson, both of whom have in anger , fallen foul of reasonable standards. Piers Morgan’s attack on Meghan Markle polarised the Uk, with many complaining to Ofcom at the time, and others rising to the defence of the television presenter.
As time passed, the credibility of some of Meghan Markle’s comments have come into question, especially after a resurfaced post by Ms Markle revealed she had known about the royal family, contrary to earlier claims that she had not. The full reason, Meghan and her husband Harry had to step back from royal duties have split pubic opinion too.
There is the broad circle who insist it was all a pre-meditated plan, designed to exploit the opportunity to enhance her status. She then became unbearable and bullish in her ways against staff because she began to feel very important, according to those reports.
Another set of people say Meghan Markle was simply not treated well because of royal bias against her due to her mixed race and divorcee background. Critics also exist who say the royal family indeed have a right not to want new divorcees in the family, even if there have been other royals who have had a divorce when their marriages failed.
The situation has become more and more complex, with many issues involved, some intermingled with others. Without a solution, it will always consist of action and solution
