Prince Harry and Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, will 鈥渄efinitely be invited鈥 to the coronation of King Charles, an insider has claimed.
The royal couple stepped down from official duties in 2020 and have become estranged from the rest of their family but an insider has claimed organisers of the May 6 coronation of Harry鈥檚 father King Charles are 鈥渨orking on the assumption鈥 that they will be there despite the rift.
An official insider told听The Sun听苍别飞蝉辫补辫别谤鈥檚听Fabulous Magazine: 鈥淭hey will definitely be invited, and we are working on the assumption that they will come.鈥
It was previously reported that Charles is said to believe that if Harry and Meghan - who now live in LA with 3-year-old Archie and Lili, 20 months, - didn鈥檛 attend the coronation at Westminster Abbey, it would be a greater distraction than their presence would be, so is ready to agree to concessions, including a high-profile seating position inside Westminster Abbey and an informal assurance the couple - who stepped down from royal duties in 2020 - will be able to retain their titles.

A source said: 鈥淭he issue of substance is whether they attend the Coronation, and if they do, under what terms and conditions.
鈥淭he family is split, and all the indications are that Harry is being advised to agree to nothing at this stage and 鈥榩lay it long鈥 right up to the last minute, which is making negotiations with him very difficult.
鈥淗arry鈥檚 camp made clear that the idea that he would just attend the Coronation and behave himself but then be stripped of his titles was a total non-starter.鈥
听鈥淲hile he might decide at some point to discard his titles of his own volition, he objects to the idea of being forcibly stripped of them.

The archbishop - who will preside over the coronation ceremony - was first asked to serve as an intermediary between William and Harry shortly after Queen Elizabeth died in September.

The report is conflicting with one made by the听Sunday Times听last month when they reported that听, with the news outlet claiming he will omit Harry from proceedings, adding 鈥渁s things stand, there is no role for Harry in the service鈥.
The report has seemingly been confirmed by yet another source who has revealed the Duke and Duchess of Sussex will not be welcome at the coronation due to fears from senior members of the Royal family.
Speaking to听The Sun听the source said, 鈥淭here have been discussions among the family, including Edward and Anne.
鈥淭hey do not want private conversations at the Coronation making it into the paperback edition of听Spare.鈥
The Royal family is yet to confirm whether the Sussexes will attend the historic event.
