Harry and Meghan 'face cold shouldering' in Coronation says expert

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry face a "monumental cold shouldering" at King Charles III Coronation, as plans for the big day have finally been revealed. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have not yet confirmed if they will attend the celebration at Westminster Abbey - but their decision is thought to be just days away. Royal expert and commentator Daniela Elser has warned they will have to accept "a B-list part in proceedings" if they do attend.

"Even if they can stomach the monumental cold shouldering, they then face having to accept a B-list part in proceedings."

Daniela has pointed out how the Coronation falls on the same day as Prince Archie's birthday: "Their son Archie, who will turn four on the day, has not been invited, even though Charles as a wee lad was that age when he fidgeted and yawned his way through Her late Majesty's coronation." With less than a month to go until the historic day, it is still unclear whether Harry and Meghan will attend. Harry reportedly has many legitimate concerns about the event, such as his family's safety, their roles on the day and how Archie's birthday will be celebrated.

However, according to The Times, the Sussexes are set to reveal their intentions "within days".

Plans for the Coronation have been revealed and show how the Crown Jewels will play a key role during the religious service on May 6.
