Prince Harry risks ending his relationship with the royal family if he misses coronation

The King’s coronation will give Prince Harry a last-ditch chance to reunite with his family. Royal experts weighs in on what could happen.

Prince Harry risks the end of his relationship with the royal family if he doesn’t attend the coronation, a royal author has claimed.

Alexander Larman believes the historic occasion will provide a chance for Prince Harry to reunite with the family once more.

He told Us Weekly: “If he [doesn’t] go to the coronation, he’s essentially saying, ‘I am not gonna have any relationship with my family ever again’.”

Larman added that he would be “’amazed’’ if Prince Harry and Meghan Markle decline the invitation and instead opt to stay in the US.

Royal commentator Hilary Fordwich believes that the Duke of Sussex was “testing the waters” when he visited the UK for his privacy battle at the High Court.

Ms Fordwich told The Express: “Perhaps his appearing in London, unannounced, to attend the court case was ‘testing the waters’, taking one link at a time in the chain of destiny to help the couple decide.

“The dilemma facing Harry and Meghan is that of a lose-lose situation. On the one hand, if they do accept their invitation the likelihood of being booed by the British public, whom they threw under the bus, is highly likely.”

It comes amid reports that US President Joe Biden plans to turn down the prestigious invite to the King’s coronation on May 6 as he already has other commitments.

The Telegraph was told that First Lady Jill Biden will probably take his place at the ceremony.

Despite turning down the invite, sources said Mr Biden insisted that his relationship with King Charles was “strong.”
