The coronation of King Charles III this May is being planned in detail to prevent Prince Harry and Meghan Markle from overshadowing the entire itinerary set by the Crown, this due to statements made by King Charles’ youngest son in his book “Spare”.
Senior palace officials are doing everything possible to prevent Prince Harry and William from being seen together in public during the event. Invitations for the ceremony at Westminster Abbey will be sent out later this month, once the final guest list is confirmed, including Harry and Meghan Markle, plus members of royalty at home and abroad, dignitaries and world leaders.
The Palace is working closely with the Foreign Office to finalize the guest list and send the cards on time. Once the invitation is received, Prince Harry and Meghan will have to make a quick decision on their attendance. A palace spokesman believes Harry will make an effort to move to London in the hope of reconciling with his family.

At the palace, a plan much like the one used at the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee is being devised to ensure there are no awkward encounters with Prince William and Kate Middleton. Harry and Meghan’s arrival at the Abbey will be conducted in the same manner as at St. Paul’s Cathedral last June, arriving in a private car and sitting on an opposite side of the aisle from where the Prince and Princess of Wales will be.
The arrangement in the aisle is carefully planned to avoid the brothers being photographed together and to avoid any speculation. The focus will be on the vertical line of succession, where the Prince and Princess of Wales and their children, George, Charlotte and Louis, will have priority.
It is known that everything possible is being done to ensure that the coronation is a smooth and king-focused event, but it is undoubtedly a cruel decision to seat the two brothers separately.
