In spite of the widely publicized estrangement between Prince Harry and the British Royal Family, King Charles III has invited the self-exiled royal and his wife, Megan Markle, to attend his coronation in May.
A spokesperson for the couple confirmed the news to The Times, UK on Saturday, Stating that “I can confirm The Duke has recently received email correspondence from His Majesty’s office regarding the coronation.”
The invitation comes amid several public call-outs by the couple against the British monarchy in recent times.
The couple moved to the United States in 2020 after stepping down as Senior Royals. They have since then welcomed two children, Archie and Lilibet.
In 2021, Harry and Megan gave a bombshell interview with Oprah Winfrey, where they accused unnamed members of the Royal family of racism.
The couple released a Netflix documentary in December 2022, detailing their unpleasant experience as members of the Royal family after their marriage in 2018.
Harry also recently released a tell-it-all memoir, ‘Spare’ where he explored his fractured relationship with his father and elder brother, Prince William.
The January 2023 publication featured claims by Harry that William attacked him during an argument about Meghan, and that the altercation significantly worsened their relationship.
In what seems like retaliation by the Royal House, the Duke and Duchess were asked to vacate Frogmore Cottage, their British home, over the weekend.
While the King has invited the couple to the coronation, it is not clear if the couple will attend the event. Their rep told Times that, “an immediate decision on whether The Duke and Duchess will attend will not be disclosed by us at this time.”
