Buckingham Palace has confirmed that Prince Harry will attend the coronation of his father, King Charles, next month at Westminster Abbey. However, his wife, Meghan Markle, will remain in California with their two children, Archie and Lilibet. This news comes after months of speculation about whether the Sussexes would make the trip to the UK for the historic occasion.

The palace issued a statement on Wednesday, confirming Prince Harry’s plans.

Earlier this year, in March, Prince Harry’s spokesperson said that the couple had received an invitation to the coronation but had not yet confirmed their attendance. With this announcement, it is now clear that Prince Harry will be representing his family at the event.

This decision to travel alone to the UK for the coronation comes after Prince Harry’s recent memoir, “Spare,” was published in January. The book caused a stir as it revealed private confrontations between him and other senior royals and detailed his split from the family. Details of the sibling rivalry between Harry and his brother Prince William were also shared.

Many were left wondering how Prince Harry’s revelations would impact his relationship with the royal family and whether he would be welcomed back for such important family occasions. However, it seems that Prince Harry will still be present at his father’s coronation, despite the controversy that his book created.

This news will come as a relief to those who had hoped that the Sussexes would make the trip to the UK for the coronation. However, it will also raise questions about the current state of Prince Harry’s relationship with the royal family and whether this decision to travel alone is indicative of a wider rift.

Overall, this announcement has put an end to months of speculation and confirms that Prince Harry will indeed be present at the coronation. However, the absence of Meghan Markle and their children will undoubtedly be noted, and many will be watching to see what impact this will have on the already fragile relationship between Prince Harry and the royal family.
