The royal family

Archbishop of Canterbury get Harry to attend Coronation

The Mail on Sunday are claiming that Charles has asked the Archbishop to talk to Harry to get him to attend the Coronation. But William is against this as he fears the Sussex's will detract from the Coronation.

"Harry could be guaranteed a high-profile seating position in the Abbey or an informal assurance that he will be able to keep his titles as an inducement to attend. However, William fears that unless Harry’s visit is tightly scripted, he could steal the limelight by, for example, going on a walkabout in a deprived London borough with Meghan."

You have absolutely no idea what the UK public think
Noone has asked

All you have is what the tabloids tell you to think

The royals are not popular with the young and that is their real problem

I think Charles should fly over. I know there'd be security costs, but nobody would grudge them I don't think, especially if he could fix their relationship ebfore the coronation. Dont think h&m should go but I hope h and charles will talk. when it gets to the point where they're only communicating through lawyers then it takes real vulnerability to step forward and risk the rejection.

They are asking the King and Heir for a public apology. They've gone to the media, broadcasters etc and getting paid for it on top of everything else.

Ain't gonna happen, more important things at play. And not many toys left in the pram either. I would not be surprised if they are, from a legal perspective, in big trouble already on many fronts. All that money will go to the lawyers. And guess whose coffers are bigger and who is playing a longer game here. They have no chance, also because they have dug a big hole just by themselves without any help.

@Blip

I think the presence of H&M will devalue the UK internationally and inevitably cause a huge circus and distraction from the Coronation.

You may be overstating things here. The thing that has devalued the UK internationally is the folly of Brexit, particularly as one of the biggest campaigners, your former PM Johnson is now saying Ukraine must join the EU. It is just too bizarre. Your record of three PMs in one year has also devalued the UK internationally, and as you saw this last week, the UK is the only major economy that will have a negative growth of GDP.

H&M are the least of your problems. 🙂

Obviously not. You don’t appear to have much of an opinion of the UK @MrsMaxDeWinter .
The use if ‘your’ this and that is unnecessarily hostile and rude. If you are American, would you like to be held personally accountable for Trump for example?

Neither are Meghan and Harry. They are completely irrelevant to young people and they don’t care. M and H are super wealthy and live in the US. M is 41. People in their twenties and thirties have better things to worry about.

@ItsCurtainstothat

Really? 😂
What a childish comment !
What have H and M got to do with the cancer that 'royalty' is on UK society ?

They've left !

And ask yourself why MSM are trying to include H and M in polls when they left the country and 'royal' 'working ' roles years ago.
Here's a clue- to continue to use them as hate figures in order to attempt to bolster the falling popularity of the remaining 'royals'
It works on some people

Novella4 · 05/02/2023 09:12

I'm sorry @ItsCurtainstothat - if I have misinterpreted your comment
I read it as yet another W and K versus H and M tiresome back and forth
I see you could mean 'a pox on all their houses' re royals
Fair enough

I am sorry that you feel offended at the use of "your". Am happy to change it to "the UK's record of three prime ministers" if that makes you feel better, but the bottom line is that it's a bit over the top to to say that H and M are devaluing Brand UK, when that devaluation started with the Brexit vote. The UK also lost a seat on the International Court of Justice, the first time since 1945. And the UK is being condemned by the UN for its violations ofiInternational law in the Chagos islands dispute. Not to mention the whole mess in Scotland. H and M are just an entertaining chapter in the long running Royal Soap opera, really.

Definitely a pox on all their houses. The RF aren’t relevant to young people either.

I'm glad Harry is invited but Megan must also go. It's part of her now and their dc. They should all be a party of uit

Floofyduffypuddy · 05/02/2023 11:26

Mrs max de winter I also completely agree about Megan being far far too qualified in that family

Blip · 05/02/2023 11:32

Meghan & Harry are really not young, neither are they in any way in touch with young people - or with anyone really, such is the over entitled and over privileged bubble in which they live.

Under normal circumstances Harry and his family would be invited. The BRF is usually kind, well mannered and embracing of people so I think Harry will get an invitation.

Should he opt to attend I think he will have to earn the trust of his family and give assurances that he will not repeat or publish or record private conversations. There will be hundreds of guests, all who could give a personal account of the occassion. Perhaps Harry will be treated just like other guests and not be privy to personal famioly conversations.

That could work. The seating arrangement and processions at the Queens funeral were organised in a way that Harry and Meghan did not detract from the ceremonial rituals or solemn feelings of the nation.

Blip · 05/02/2023 11:39

Tbh at this point Charles seems so unkingly and frankly pathetic that I'd like him to abdicate and move in with Harry in Montecito, which could then become the foster home to any UK junk royals.

We could then give William a go, and if not just call it a day.

Floofyduffypuddy · 05/02/2023 18:59

Blip I like Charles generally but can't fathom how he can't see what an awful ride Harry's got.

He should be doing absolutely everything in his power to make things right with Harry

Can you expand on this one please - what do you mean by "too qualified"? Maybe that she was not getting paid enough like she mentioned in Australia (although she was)? Too qualified to shake hands of the people around the world, since she should be doing something more important like a Nextlix docu about herself?

This would be a great move if true.

Charles is after all the head of the Church of England. He is going to be crowned King based on teachings of the Church about how the King is anointed with oil by God etc. So it would be nice for all the family, who are all members, including Harry who was christened as a baby and Meghan who was baptised before her marriage, to be guided by the Archbishop to show the meaning of Christian forgiveness and reconciliation.

The Archbishop famously said last year that Andrew should be forgiven.

If Andrew can be forgiven, so can Harry and Meghan.

I totally agree. And I think they’re a pair of scumbag traitorous toerags who should have their titles stripped.

But if King Charles is going to stand as Head of the CofE then he must demonstrate Christian values of forgiveness and reconciliation. Even those of us who don’t have public standing are commanded to “forgive those who sin against us”. Charles can’t NOT invite Harry.

Floofyduffypuddy · 05/02/2023 22:00

You mean the same values the queen showed to him, Charles after his own book?
