Prince Harry, withdrawn from the British monarchy, will attend the coronation of his father Charles III on May 6 at Westminster Abbey in London, but without his wife Meghan and their children, Buckingham Palace announced on Wednesday.
“Buckingham Palace is pleased to confirm that the Duke of Sussex will attend the Coronation at Westminster Abbey on May 6,” the Palace wrote in a statement. “The Duchess of Sussex will stay in California with Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet,” the Palace said.
This press release puts an end to an intense suspense nearly three weeks before the coronation of Charles III. The response of the “Sussex”, who left with a bang to live in the United States in 2020, had been particularly awaited since the beginning of March, when it was announced that they were invited to the ceremony.
Harry and Meghan have only returned to the UK on rare occasions since leaving in 2020, including to attend Queen Elizabeth II’s funeral in September.
The Duke of Sussex had traveled alone for the funeral of his grandfather Prince Philip in 2021, in the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic. Harry also made a surprise appearance in London at the end of March at a hearing against a tabloid in the High Court.
