King Charles makes big decision on Harry and Meghan

As the world waits to find out whether Harry and Meghan will attend the coronation, the King has made a big call on how they’ll be included.

King Charles has made a final call on which royals will be permitted to join the post-coronation Buckingham Palace balcony appearance next month – and it’s bad news for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.

The full 15-person list of family members invited to gather on May 6 to watch the fly past over following the Westminster Abbey ceremony has been revealed by The Mirror, and it strictly includes working royals only, along with Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis.

As such, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex won’t be included – should they even choose to attend.

Their invitations were confirmed weeks ago but they’ve yet to make clear whether they’ll accept.

The newly-crowned King Charles III and Queen Camilla will be joined on the balcony by Prince William and Kate, Princess of Wales and their three children.

Also taking part will be Prince Edward and Sophie, the new Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh, Princess Anne and her husband Vice Admiral Sir Tim Laurence, the Duke of Kent and Princess Alexandra, and the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester.

As per Charles’ balcony policy, Prince Andrew will also be excluded from the traditional family gathering.

The royal appearance will follow the traditional Westminster Abbey coronation ceremony, after which Charles and Camilla will travel in a Gold State coach back to Buckingham Palace in a procession.

Events for the coronation will kick off on May 6 and continue over Sunday, May 7 and Monday, May 8, which has been declared a bank holiday in the UK.
