Prince Harry Will Attend Coronation Without Meghan: The Start Of A Royal Reconciliation? | Lorraine

but first, unsurprisingly, Prince Harry is making almost every front page this morning after the news that he

will

be

attend

ing his father's

coronation

next month, while Megan

will

remain in California with their sons, Prince Archie and the Princess Lilybet, our

royal

editor Russell Mars joins us. Now, with the lettuce, we mentioned it yesterday. Russell and I have an answer. I sent your RSVP, we have RSVP and, uh, Harry is

attend

ing a loan for the king's

coronation

. Megan will stay home. Looks like the kids now have a lot to unpack here. of the devil in the details on that was but it's been described as a kind of transatlantic ping pong of, you know, messages going back and forth but you know how long Harry's going to stay that's a great question I'm told it's going to be a trip very, very brief, in and out, of course, it will be the first time she has seen the

royal

s, her king, her father, her brother and the rest of the family since the queen's funeral, so obviously the tensions will be very tense.

I don't expect us to see him in the main events about the King's balcony and the Palace and so on, but hey, you know it's still very, very interesting, nonetheless, yes, I wonder what the reaction of the Royal Family will be this morning. documents suggesting this morning that there is a quiet size of relief, well yes, I think that's putting it mildly, um, listen, it's been well documented the problems with Harry and Megan over the last two years. Interview with Oprah Winfrey where they accused the royal family of racism and abandonment. those claims that Harry even rode on himself huh I guess those sides are really relief coming from the family in general because this would have been distracting if they were both here and I think all things considered it's the same Archie's birthday.

King's coronation day is a very convenient aspect of his family to avoid attending Megan's coronation but I think so of course there would be fanfare if they had come so all eyes will still be on Harry but with luck will happen with our incident, so Megan and the kids head back to America, maybe having a quiet birthday party there, well yeah, and again we wonder if they'll tune in for that, it'll be 3am. in the in california again it's archie's birthday maybe he'll be excited for the day anyway but then again i think that tells you the kind of respect

harry

still has for his father i mean he said the door was open for the

reconciliation

eh no doubt, the king will be delighted that his son attends.

I think it would have been a big hole in the shape of Harry if he had done it if he hadn't attended. I think he would have regretted it. yeah absolutely sure for years to come and you reflect and think why didn't I and we were talking like you said Russell yesterday about various levels of chaos according to you um Russell and uh how they were actually trying to figure things out just a couple of things missing weeks for cameras apparently been banned for coronation parties what parties are those and why well yeah i mean we said we had some sympathy with them it's a huge operation but yeah i definitely have me they have said that the king will ban the anointing chambers and of course that seems to be part of the ceremony which is the most sacred element of the coronation, a kind of anointing with holy oil from the Sovereign and Charles decided that their relationship with God, as it has been described to me, is more important than some kind of opening to people, so I think it's part of that element of the ceremony.

It is probably better protected for the general public. Of course we've had kind of a mixed response, um this morning from our viewers, um, a lot of people say that Linda is one, I'm glad Harry is coming, he's part of the royal family and he got by on his own before he was married, i hope he makes peace with his brother and enjoys being here um sandra however he says i think he should have stayed away after all he said about the family if that was me i dont think i would be able to watch. in the and justify what i have done as i say mixed reports but he will be there and who knows what could be the

start

of let's be positive if i think we have to be positive there as

harry

himself has said there has been a great deal of frivolity in relationships, especially in the last two years, he said the door is open for

reconciliation

, if the family feels that this is the right time to have those kinds of healing moments, I doubt it. because there is a bigger event at stake, the coronation will be a great moment of status for the country and maybe it will be the beginning of something new, let's wait and see, we will see, thank you very much. russell see you soon
