Prince Harry to be written out of King Charles’ coronation

With Prince Harry delivering the royal family an avalanche of bad press, he will be “written out of the script” of a huge upcoming event.

Prince Harry has reportedly been written out of the script for his father King Charles’ coronation.

While still invited to the May 6 event, the Duke of Sussex will “play no role” at the ceremony, sources say.

The act of royal dukes kneeling before the King has been scrapped by Charles, with only Prince William now required to pledge allegiance.

The act will see the Prince of Wales “pay homage”, touch the crown and kiss Charles on the right cheek.

“I can reveal that Prince Harry has been written out of the script for the coronation, with no official role in the service if he attends. Breaking with tradition, Charles will scrap royal dukes kneeling and paying homage to the monarch. Only William will perform that role,” Roya Nikkah, royal editor of the Sunday Times, tweeted today.

Charles’ coronation ceremony in Westminster Abbey will take place almost 70 years after the Queen’s historic crowning.

Harry revealed he does want to go to King Charles’ coronation – but insisted “the ball is in their court”, in a trailer for his upcoming interview with British TV station ITV.

But a royal expert warned Harry and Meghan’s “nuke missile campaign” to hurt William has made them unwelcome at the coronation.

The scrapping of Harry’s role, reported in The Sunday Times, comes as William is “burning with anger” about Harry’s bombshell memoir Spare.

“He’s handling it so well on the outside — inside he’s burning”, a friend told the paper.

The Prince of Wales reportedly feels immense sadness at Harry’s relentless salvos, such as being labelled his brother’s “arch-nemesis”.

But William is believed to be taking punches from his raging brother in order to protect his family and country.

Other explosive allegations in the tell-all memoir, out Wednesday, was that William threw Harry to the ground in a fit of rage in 2019 – smashing a dog bowl which cut up Harry’s back.

A raft of other incendiary claims have turned the crosshairs onto William’s wife, Kate.

In one, Harry sensationally claimed William and Kate encouraged him to wear his notorious Nazi uniform to a fancy dress party, according to a leaked excerpt from his book.

He says the now Prince and Princess of Wales “howled with laughter” when they saw him dressed up in the offensive outfit for the party in 2005.

And he says Meghan and Kate had a monstrous fallout in the lead up to the royal wedding in 2018 after Meghan said the Princess of Wales had a “baby brain”.

The Sun revealed the feud began during a phone call about wedding rehearsals – with Meghan coining the term in relation to Kate’s hormones while pregnant with Louis.

One pal told The Sunday Times how surprised they were at Harry’s allegations – given the amount of “s***” his mates have on him that could make it into the mainstream.

“There’s so much stuff over the years that Harry has rung friends up about and said, ‘throw away that photo, promise you won’t speak about this”, they stressed.

Another friend added: “William will be going through a range of emotions — anger, concern and worry — not just for his family but how all this is going to affect the institution.

“But he is staunchly protective of his own family, and he’s not just going to roll over.”

A friend of the royal family added: “William is tough, the family can play the long game in the way Harry and Meghan can’t.

“That’s a very powerful counterpoint to all this.”

Spare, out on Wednesday, reveals Harry has taken cocaine, cannabis, magic mushrooms and even used laughing gas while Meghan was giving birth.
