Should Harry attend the coronation?

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.

Anyway, isn't it all part of Harry's birthright?

TeaMistress · 17/03/2023 07:53

Ugh. They will probably turn up to try and keep themselves relevant and for more fodder for their next netflix / book whinge about how hard done by they are. Any opportunity to try and merch themselves and their children. Hypocrites. They claim to hate the institution but are desperate to cling to the titles and make money out of mud slinging. Just another leg on their worldwide privacy tour and more garbage to put in Waah part 2.

Indeed many threads were started about Harry and Meghan holding hands at the Queens funeral and how apparently disrespectful it was 🙄
And when it was pointed out Zara and Mike Tindall were also holding hands,that was fine apparently because they arnt Harry and Meghan and posters only rip Harry and Meghan apart

Most posters who didn’t like the Sussexes holding hands, didn’t like the Tindalls doing it either

The thing is they are backed into a corner.

Their credibility and integrity is already questionable and they are being mocked in the US as a result. The US is where they want and need to build their brand, they have now passed the period when they could have done some form of damage limitation, so they need to thread very carefully in trying to rebuild their reputations.

Showing up for the Coronation after all they have said about his immediate family, the British public, the British media and the Monarchy, is probably the worst thing they can do now for that brand and their credibility. However it is his fathers Coronation, it is a huge global and historical event, they are invited to attend and it appears his father wants him to be there and I guess Harry would want to be there too, so if they don't attend does it look petty and harsh from him or will it be viewed as them standing by their principles.

Lets' not forget their benefactors, Tyler Perry and Oprah Winfrey, hate the Royals and everything they stand for, I suspect that will weigh on them too.

They are dammed if they do and dammed if they don't.

I don't think he'll come. Charles picked his big day on Archie's birthday, creating a dilemma for them. Perhaps out of spite, who knows. Charles seems petty enough.

It'd be better for them both psychologically if they stay at home and I would worry for their security too. And I bet MM is heartily sick of this family. Plus harry has a court case in May he has to prepare for and the coronavirus will be in the way.

Harry went away to play polo on Archie’s birthday last year, so I don’t think it would prevent him going to a coronation 🤔

I think Harry will come, I’m not sure if Meghan will. I wouldn’t want to drag two small children over here on a 9+ hour flight if they were only going to stay a couple of days.

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.

Yes I think the same, but I'm sure they'll be boo'ed ... rightly so too IMO, but it would be awful for their children to feel that hatred ... they caused it for themselves though

MumOf2workOptions · 17/03/2023 08:11

They'll come as it'll be fodder for yet another tv show or book

You know, after they're so bothered about privacy!

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.

Who on earth are you talking about here?

I think it entirely depends on whether KC himself reaches out to Harry and acknowledges some of what Harry is saying. Harry has spoken about about his own perception of what he experienced. If there is even half truth to it there is enough to say he has been treated poorly and scapegoated by his family.

Unless KC and the POW address their own egos and failings and try to make changes then I don’t see how PH could attend. What KC and POW are currently doing is just a rug sweeping exercise but really they are excluding Harry by being unwilling to address the scapegoating. They are pretending that they are above all of Harry’s petty calling out of behaviour while they have at least in the past engaged in the scapegoating. That doesn’t make them superior to Harry, it makes them bullies. There can’t be a healthy relationship with that backdrop.

pilates · 17/03/2023 08:29

@determinedtomakethiswork Meghan wrote this before she got together with H:-

“Little girls dream of being princesses. I, for one, was all about She-Ra, Princess of Power.”

Inkanta · 17/03/2023 08:29

Personally, I don't think they should. Not anything to do with what has gone on in the past, but because of the vile media. Or Harry come on his own, that would be ideal situation for me, Meghan can have birthday party for little Archie

Yes I agree and hope they have the courage to stay away and be at home in peace.

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

This is a forum on The Royal family to be fair, which is why OP is discussing and given her opinion on the royal family. I think that’s a reasonable thing to do on a royal family forum.

Inkanta · 17/03/2023 08:36

And also whether you like it or not Harry wrote a book and he meant what he said. His main grievance is how his 19 year old mother was treated and the whole toxic unhealthy culture in the institution. The buck stops with him and I hope he can follow through and carve his way out.

You said it wasn’t mentioned at all. I never said it was the same number of posters. Stop moving the goalposts 😂. Posters mentioned it in relation to the procession out of the Queen’s vigil, saying PDA’s were inappropriate and unnecessary on a short walk out of a formal setting like that. And they mentioned the Tindalls as well. There have been other occasions when only the Sussexes were mentioned because they were the only ones present. I’m not saying that there were not posters who didn’t single out the Sussexes, I’m saying it’s not true that none mentioned the Tindalls.

KeHuyWinner · 17/03/2023 09:03

I'm sure they'll attend. Then complain that some of their relatives seemed to not celebrate their attendance.

Hungrycaterpillarsmummy · 17/03/2023 09:12

I imagine he would be there for his dad but at the same time I wouldn't be surprised if he didn't go.
It's up to him 🤷

Fragrantandfoolish · 17/03/2023 09:18

I’m honestly imagining scenes of folks chanting “we want privacy” aka South Park if they front up .😂

It’s also their sons birthday and considering how they had to “escape for their lives” you’d think they’d spend the day at home with their kids.

well that is unless it was all vengeful exaggerated attention seeking bullshit as they didn’t get their own way about the hybrid model and borne of sibling jealousy that is. Then they’d be there muscling in so as not to be left out.

oh wait..

being royal is all they have, they have literally failed to make any form of career for themselves in the 3 years since they left. Their whole money earning gig is selling stories on the royals and capitalising on their positions and titles.

VixenTodd · 17/03/2023 09:30

I agree. However, I think they were really convinced of their own greatness when they left, especially Meghan. It still hasn't sunk in that she is ordinary. Her talent was that knew how to work the guys, got luckier and luckier and moved up through each relationship. Not something to shout about.

Coxspurplepippin · 17/03/2023 09:43

Lostmarblesfinder, not sure what you mean by 'scapegoating'. The palace has prevented plenty of iffy stuff about Harry coming out. Where do you think Harry has been used as a scapegoat by his father and brother?

Samcro · 17/03/2023 09:46

have to say I am more interested in what part PA will take, will he be booed. what he did is much worse that PH.

Lostmarblesfinder · 17/03/2023 09:51

Harry has a Netflix series, a book and he has given multiple TV appearances explaining his perspective I don’t need to expand on what he has said himself. I believe him that the palaces have briefed against his family to suppress other stories. That is scapegoating but I have noticed that others cannot see it which is fair enough.
