Will Harry and Meghan come to Coronation?

[AnnieGetYourWaterPistol]

I do not think they will. They will stay away but all anyone will talk about is why they did not come and should they have come.

What I would love to know is this...
If you are 'anti' H&M, do you want them to attend? One poster on this thread wants them to fuck off, so that is clear.
What about the rest of you? Do you want them to come so you can talk about them?
Or do you really want them not to attend?

I guess I'm 'anti' H and M because of what they've said and done and I'd actually rather they just stayed away. If I want to watch family drama I'll watch Eastenders.

I'd like to see them come, rescind the requirement of a public apology or use anything about the Coronation to make money, do interviews, film it for Netflix or make comments about how awful their family is, how hard done by they are etc etc. In short, to behave with quiet dignity.

I’m guessing yes, and then we’ll see another book about all the travesties they endured with the Coronation, plus an accompanying 1hr special centred around themselves obviously. Just hope to god the candle is ten times bigger this time🤣.

Why do you say that?

They didn't write a book about the Jubilee. They didn't write a book about the Queen's funeral.

It's what you would like them to do so you can post endlessly about how awful they are

I really think they should not come. If they do come the Royal Family will just once again publicly snub them on camera and some of the public will say how every single thing they do or wear is wrong.
They should save themselves the grief and instead just have a big birthday party for Archie and enjoy their life.

I totally agree.

But of course them having a birthday party for Archie will be spun as them trying to take away from the coronation no doubt. As if they can control when their son's birthday falls!

They will have more front than Blackpool if they attend. I can't imagine publicly slating my family and then turning up for a family gathering. Coronation or 40th birthday party, it's all the same.

Will they go for the publicity, will they go for content for a next book/series, or will they stay away as it's Archie's birthday, or because it will make it looks like double standards.

Who knows, all I know is I'd not have the balls to go to a family event after publicly slagging off my family.

I think the king as played a blinder by inviting them early on, because the ball is in their court now. Attend and be judged, don't attend and they may come out looking better

I wouldn't say I'm anti, but I think they should stay away, if they go it will take the attention off the Coronation as all eyes will be on them and how the other royals interact with them. This is about Charles and the new king? Not H&M (even if they don't want it to be about them, it will be made about them)

I agree.

Although the BBC and good old Nicholas Witchell, the RF's lapdog, would be concentrating their coverage just on the coronation with no mention of H&M.

Yes Cahrles has made it clear he does not want them to attend.

Why do you say that?

Well, because they must now be running out of content so have to pull something from somewhere to try and remain in the spotlight and grab a few more dollars. This presents an opportunity to do that. They didn’t write about the other stuff as the book had already been drafted prior to these I thought? Sure, they could add a few small bits but nothing major at that point or it would have caused more serious delays which publishers would not have wanted.

Completely wrong there. I would like them to stop the endless whining and fuck off into obscurity where we never hear their names again, read anything about them in the press or discuss them in posts such as this. Would be really happy with that.

When Harry and Meghan do nothing we get the threads on here - where are they? Why are we hearing nothing? And then tabloids make up stories.
So whatever they do or do not do people talk about them.

They will definitely attend, they need content for next Netflix series and/or book deal.

I think it was clear all along that they would be invited.

I get no sense from media coverage whether Charles "wants" them to come - I think that's just speculation (made up to fit whatever angle someone wants to push)

I think the idea that people must be in a "pro" or "anti" camp is harmful. Life's not that cut and dried. Millions of us (literally) cheered a welcome to the Sussexes, but find (some) latest shenanigans utterly risible.

Totally agree. For instance, Meghan was not seen or heard of for nearly 3 months. Did that stop threads or posts on her? Nope. It just carried on. With regurgitating stuff from the past instead.

Those that want them to fuck off should just ignore and not post! There are a couple of celebs that I would like to fuck off... I see threads on them, I go 🤮 and literally avoid like the plague. I can honestly say I have never looked at a thread on them, and if I see anything pop up on a feed I press X. I don't understand why someone who you intensely dislike becomes someone to talk about?

Why post on threads of people who annoy you so much? I don't get it.

Did you ever post on threads about Boris or any other incompetent clowns? There is usually public commentary on current affairs, not just on people who don’t annoy you. Personally, I’ve never posted about this pair when they have not put themselves in the limelight but alas that would have only been small windows here and there.

I post on political threads. They affect the country and me. They are elected officials who should be held to account. Rather different.

I think that Harry won't come (Meghan was a non starter) because his admitted drug use may affect his visa status and he might not be let back in. Yea, rich people have different rules and cannabis is legal in California but immigration/border control have their own rules.

If he doesn't come, I don't think for one minute that will be the reason.

I think Harry will want to come to support the monarchy, tradition and his father regardless what has gone before.

I hope he does and hope he/they won't have to face any jeering or booing.
I'm not a fan of their actions but it is his right to be there at such a momentous occasion in his fathers life.
Of all the things I've heard him say and words he has written , I do think he has immense affection for his father, like wise his father for him.
I think Harry will regret it if he doesn't attend, purely on a personal level.
Who knows, maybe it might be a start to their healing

For me I see it as nothing to do with the person Charles is.

Charles is a figure head and as such Harry needs to come and take his place in this mind bogglingly huge event, that will be unprecedented.

So just from a historical point of view he and his wife and dc should be there, forget their actual relationship. He is the son of the king.

I want them to come and just behave 'normally' - I mean it's all bizarre pageantry but there are protocols and a system and organised ceremony within an inch of its life. But when I say 'normally' I mean just following the dress codes etc like the rest of the family - be on time, if required to travel in the bus with the rest of the non-working royals do it.

Don't leak stories to Omid about the 'unfairness' of not being allowed to wear a uniform, or not being allowed to wear a specific badge on a uniform, or not being invited to a cocktail party that your brother is going to etc. Or have Omid lead a long distance lens photo of yourselves within Buckingham Palace with your grieving father when everyone had been asked to respectfully not do that.

I'd love to see Harry turn up with the intention of supporting and cheering on his father on this significant moment in his family's life. When people talk about once-in-a-lifetime moments it's often feels a little exaggerated but your father's coronation is literally the definition of a once in a lifetime moment.

^leak not lead

I don’t think Harry asked for a public apology, did he? He asked for an apology.

I think Wordler has it right; it would be nice if they came and just acted as 'normal' as required. There are protocols for this type of event; they should slot in as non-working royals and follow those protocols. Keep a low profile and just let the focus be on Charles and the event itself. Regardless of being a royalist or not, this is a part of British culture and it would be a shame for it to be upstaged by individuals. The problem is that even if they had every intention of doing this, the media and social media would be looking for every interaction, glance, or possible wrong step on either side to gain clicks. Its a can't win situation on both sides.
