Insiders said Harry was aware the historic occasion will be "pretty much the most important day" of the King's life. According to sources, Harry wanted a summit with King Charles and Prince William to discuss their issues before the Coronation. A source told The Mirror: "Harry has been very clear and his position hasn't wavered - he isn't going to come if he feels the atmosphere will be as toxic as it was during the Queen's Platinum Jubilee and funeral.
He's said he wants to reconcile with his family and it's their call, but so far nothing has changed." Do you think the Government is right to spend GBP8m giving free portraits of King Charles to councils and schools? Have your say in our poll.

The Palace said in a statement: "Buckingham Palace is pleased to confirm that the Duke of Sussex will attend the Coronation Service at Westminster Abbey on 6th May. The Duchess of Sussex will remain in California with Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet." Sources told The Telegraph that Harry "would always regret it" if he didn't attend the Coronation and wanted to be there on the "biggest day" of his father's life.
Harry will be returning under the cloud of his recent tell-all memoir 'Spare' in which he gained the name from when the King supposedly told Diana, the then-Princess of Wales, that she had given him a "spare."
