Should Harry attend the coronation?

[Price21210]

I say NO.

Why put himself through it? His family is too cold and not just because of his actions or what has revealed. I think they have always been that way.

Besides, it will also be Archie's birthday.

Oh well I'm sure now you've given your opinion he'll listen 🙄

He'll be there with Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet and the Duchess of Sussex.

It's important for the brand that they're all seen as Royals.

Besides, it will also be Archie's birthday.

What kind wouldn't want to go a coronation on their birthday - just look at Ana in Frozen. She was beside herself on coronation day

Should the son of the person being crowned be at the Coronation?
If his father wants him to, yes.

I don't think he shouldn't go if he wants to.
From everything he's said about the RF, the institution and the people (plus the media), I genuinely don't know why he'd want to.

I don’t care if he is or he isn’t, but please don’t make the whole lead up “will he/won’t he” headlines. Just say now yes we will or no we won’t. Leaving it in the air will not do them any favours

Under fives don't usually attend

I'm not sure if he will or won't but I feel why would he? if the family is as bad as he has painted why would he put himself through that 🤔

Are you kidding? H and M's whole USP is "we are royal princes and a princess and a duchess. Frankly, America doesn't provide many social opportunities for princing and princessing.

Of course they're not going to miss the publicity opportunity of a lifetime, to look tragically hard-done-by on global TV with the eyes of the world on them.

A tactic perfected by Diana...

What could keep She-Ra away from an event where everyone is dripping in gold and expensive jewelry? Harry will do as he is told.

Do we need a new thread every week?
Can't we number them as following threads?

yes they both should. just to annoy people 😈

If he wants to 🤷‍♀️

The family should pay all the rags for a front page plea begging Harry to attend but carry on as normal behind the scenes. It would really annoy both of them.

I hope they stay away. The RF don't deserve them. The fact Charles picked Archie's birthday for his coronation out of the 365 days he could have chosen says it all.

The British press are desperate for them to go.

Absolutely this

It's strange that he would want to go. He has spent a great deal of time and energy telling the world what is wrong with the institution, how poorly he has been treated and how awful his family have been towards him. I can't understand why he would then want to go to an event celebrating the continuation of that institution. I think it's quite strange to berate your family and the institution but then wish to be recognised as a key part of that institution publicly. To me, it's like quitting your job and standing on the news telling the world what a terrible employer they were with outdated, inappropriate and racist practices. Then turning up to the keynote speech at the yearly party conference decked out in the company uniform, waving the company flag and sitting in the front row proclaiming to be a lifelong supporter of the company. It's a strange but funny image 😃 Surely if you did this people would think you were behaving very oddly and inconsistently.

Harry has made many interesting and important points about the monarchy. Some seem to be fair and others unfair but he does need to practice what he preaches and not engage in hypocrisy. He should not expect to be a part of the institution when it suits him and his image but have nothing to do with the institution when he could build a stronger brand on being an alternative. He has criticised and now he should practice what the preaches and no longer be associated with such an institution. To attend wearing 'royal' regalia such as a tiara to clearly mark yourself as special within the institution and outranking common citizens it especially galling. I also feel that he should not have styled his children with titles in line with his proclaimed values.

No idea.

It sounds an odd thing to so based on what he said about his family - but then they do seem to like to be associated with the royal family.

I suspect either way the situation will be managed by PR people from both sides and actually won't really matter in the end.

If they go or if they don't, the attention will only be on the Sussexes anyway. I will watch it on TV only if they are there. I don't care about the coronation itself, Charles or the rest of them.

That's way Charles wants Harry to come. He knows the focus will not be on him but Harry and his family.

He should not go. His family will just snub him and the media will just write lots of horrible stories about him. Why place yourself in this toxic mess?

I think morally he should not. By the way the palace have confirmed the kids aren’t invited as too young. I think irrelevant of the fact it was his truth , as opposed to the actual truth, he’s caused a lot of pain and invaded his families privacy. He’s also made it clear he thinks the monarchy is a terrible institution. So morally he should not attend.

from a sheer entertainment perspective though, it would be utter carnage with the boos and heckling on his arrival and departure. Quite the spectacle. I doubt their egos will take it.

I think they will both come. They will bring their kids to the uk. Leave them with her mum and the nanny and frogmore and front up .

everything they have done is monetise their royal positions. So they need to keep that up

It would be better for their mental health if they did not attend but not for their bank balance and they have repeatedly demonstrated which is most important to them. The worst rose (Kate) vs carnation (Meghan) jokes have already grown old on social media and they will they-won't they (within their own control) has kept them in the headlines. I think they will attend briefly, just as they did last time.

'The fact Charles picked Archie's birthday for his coronation out of the 365 days he could have chosen says it all.'

Sorry, but

I think they should go to the coronation.

Since it's being repeated that H hates his family, I will also repeat that he does not. He hates the workers who are calling the shots and influencing his family. Get rid of the bigoted lot, not H and his family.

Now, I understand if H&M do not go for their own mh. I hope they don't get bullied out for the sake of historical record. As HMQE demonstrated, you can only get a few coronations - maybe one in a lifetime. So it must go down in history that H and his mixed raced family were at that coronation. They must not be scrubbed out.

H&M did not cause any hurt, the courtiers and their media cronies did.

There was a time when Sir Christopher Geidt was a courtier. Don't know much about him, but by all accounts he was said to take care of the family and staff welfare. Going around chatting to everyone so he knew the staff members by name and what is going on in their lives. Charles and Camilla kicked him out, replaced him with one of their attack dogs. William was reportedly angry at this. Later, HMQE supposedly called him back when she heard about all the negative headlines about MM - though I believe there were some frustrations about him being stonewalled by the new aggressive staff apparently. Several other people took care of H when growing up and they are mentioned in the book, though I did not hear about Sir Christopher, as I would have liked to hear more.

So, yeah .
H&M should come and not let the 'help' bully them out of history books. They already bullied them out of the institution.

They'd be mad if they did but merching comes first so i think they'll be there
