Prince Harry will attend King Charles' coronation, but he is not expected to spend more than 24 hours in the United Kingdom. According to a royal expert, he will immediately fly back to the United States to be with his family.
Prince Harry Is Reportedly Nervous About His Upcoming Reunion With Royal Family
The Duke of Sussex will return to his home country this week for King Charles' coronation. However, Nick Bullen, editor-in-chief of True Royalty TV, believed that he was nervous about their reunion.
Bullen told Us Weekly:
"I think the Duke of Sussex will be very nervous on the day because I know that when he came for the Queen's funeral he was very nervous about what the reaction would be – not only the reaction of his family but also of people on the street."
When Prince William, Kate Middleton, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle made a joint walkabout following the Queen's passing in Windsor, Bullen claimed that the Duke of Sussex was also "very nervous" at the time.
He continued:
"I think he will be nervous about how the family will react to him, and I think it is pretty clear he will try to minimise the amount of time he is in London. He wants to be back for Archie's birthday that evening, so it will be very much a flying visit."
Prince Harry Is Attending the Event Without Meghan Markle
Buckingham Palace confirmed that Prince Harry would attend his father's coronation solo. His wife and their two children — Archie, 3, and Lilibet, 1 — will remain in their $14 million mansion in Montecito.
Markle's decision to stay in America sparked several speculations. Some, including Dan Wootton, claimed she was afraid to be booed, Finding Freedom co-author Omid Scobie suggested it was for Archie's birthday, which falls on the same day as the coronation.
British socialite and royal author Lady Colin Campbell said on GB News that Markle wanted to attend the coronation but was told by her moneymaker advisers against it as it would only diminish her brand because they would not be seated with the senior royals and have no roles at the event. Also, her demands were reportedly not met.
Campbell added:
"Well, I'll tell you what it tells me, and I've spoken to people who know them very well. It tells me, and I'm just gonna speak for myself, that she was very nervous. She actually did want to come, but she was blocked at every turn with all of her demands."
Since Prince Harry will be alone in facing his family, historian Dr. Tessa Dunlop predicted that it would be difficult for Prince Harry because he relies on his wife.
Dunlop told Us Weekly:
"I think it's going to be a bit of a nightmare for him."
Do you agree that Prince Harry will have a difficult time during his reunion with his family? Do you support the Duke of Sussex's decision to immediately fly back to the US instead of joining the three-day festivities for his father's coronation?
