Prince Harry's two kids, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, will not be flying in to the UK for their grandfather King Charles' landmark coronation because they didn't get an invitation, as per insiders.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex were reportedly sent an invite by King Charles himself, with Harry deciding to attend and Meghan deciding to stay back in the US, reportedly to mark Archie's fourth birthday, which falls on the same day as the scheduled coronation day; May 6. While many wondered why the monarch's youngest grandkids were being kept away from the historic occasion, it has come to light that perhaps Harry and Meghan's young ones were not invited at all.

According to an insider quoted by OK! Magazine, "A major sticking point was how the Sussex children were to be included on the day." As per the same source, Archie, 3, and Lilibet, 1, were ultimately deemed 'very young' to attend a royal event of such stature and importance as the coronation.

The insider also shared: "Archie and Lilibet's inclusion in the ceremony has never been a bone of contention because small children don't attend royal events of this scale due to restlessness and tantrums." 

It has also been reported that King Charles has scrapped his plans to honour Archie at a post-Coronation lunch, given that neither of his parents will be present.
