Harry but not Meghan

[lipstickwoman]

No surprise he's coming on his own to the coronation.

That is the most sane post I have read on this thread. Thank you

The whole thing is very sad .

Did I suggest that the whole weekend was unsuitable? And you know for a fact that Charles isn't interested in his grandchildren, do you? Right.

@Couchpotato3 He rarely sees them. Even William has said he rarely sees his children.

The grandchildren were not invited as Charles has zero interest in them. You have no idea if either of those things are true at all.

I don’t understand why. She was invited but chose not to come. I see all this as a family matter and hope in the long run they are able to sort things out. I expect the King will be pleased that Harry is attending.

It’s not the breaking free that’s the problem. It’s the dirt dishing and the money they’ve made from trashing the reputation of the RF. And he had years to break free before he met Meghan.

Good for her , I wouldn’t come if they paid me ! The way they treated her and the children .

@Mumwomansisterdaughter

Can you explain what you mean by how they treated the children?

A lot of people making a lot of baseless assumptions about why she isn't coming depending on whether they are fans or not.

If she had been on the balcony she would be there. She would have been just one of the crowd so staying home snd can't Blame her for that. She clearly hated the UK snd her role in the royal family.

Harry should come but I don't expect anyone to really talk to him as he's such a bloody gossip.

This over I hope they go back to the states shut the fuck up snd have a happy life.

I am sick of them

The birthday is a complete non-factor. At about-to-be four no child is going to mind if you tell them birthday presents, cake and party are happening the day before the real day.

Up to M if she attends or not, though. Reasonable to stay away if she wants.

I wouldn’t miss my child’s birthday either.

The media will be nasty about Meghan whatever she does so I can’t blame her for not coming and giving them the opportunity to put a negative spin on everything.

Charles and Camilla have been booed more Han Harry and Meghan ever where, seeing as how they have been booed at just about every public appearance, with more booing expected at the Coronation. You are so, so right @purpledalmation , booing is so bad for Charles and Camilla's brand.

@vera99

Wow those Telegraph comments.

His kingship starting on a troubling note for the traditionalists: as Alison says, he needs to appeal to the traditionalists (read middle-class, Tory, who don't like anything "woke" or "forrin") But in his heart, he sees himself as a modernist, he is interested in other faiths, the climate, net zero, he was shocked at the Rwanda plan, now he has supported the slavery research, he sees himself I think as someone who wants to do things, rather than just be ... I don't think he is "woke" at all but he is too "woke" for his core base. and those comments indicate, that te disgruntled will express displeasure through the whole Queen Camilla business.

At the same time, he can't be his mother, but the Royal Family really needs to get into this century. Enter Harry and Meghan.

Oops, exit Harry and Meghan.

Oh well.

He could be with the nanny at the Palace. The coronation is only an hour long.

I think it's sad she's not coming.

I thought it might be a new dance for the coronation - the moonwalk done to Do the Bump by Kenny

probably more chance of that than of Meghan using a fake bump.

Well I am grinning at some the posts on this thread, I wonder who attended briefings or who is actually making up shit and then blaming it on "leaks".
Hmmm!

I don't. I said I feel sorry for the little ones having those parents and grandfather's.

Charles, William and Harry are all woke hypocrites.

Charles overshadowed a child on their birthday.

Meghan taking the piss.

A bunch of twits, the lot of them.

Oh well there you go. Him not her

It’s all good fodder

Who on earth would want to drag two small kids on a long-haul flight to a bunfight like that? It will be a gruelling schedule, every minute of it with barking orders and wall-to-wall media. The coronation is going to be HUGE with not a moment of down time.

Frankly I think we'd all rather enjoy hanging out in a sunshine-filled Montecito mansion with kids running around while we watch the spectacle unfold on TV with a full running commentary, lovely food laid out in the kitchen, and no queuing for a wee.

Excellent decision on their behalf. I'm sure it will be a special day in their house, just like it will be in so many of ours.

It's not just a 'big family event' though is it? It is a state occasion. If you are going to have an hereditary monarchy then the fact is that all KC's immediate family have a right to and would be expected to be there. Even though the children are too young to be at the ceremony, you would think he would want all his grandchildren to be around.

It is going to look sad as well as incongruous, to have so much of his family not there - especially when Camilla's DC and DGC are given centrality at the occasion.

Further on the subject of families though: if my in laws had allowed me to be repeatedly publicly badmouthed - culminating in a very public joke about my 3 year old DC being murdered - and made no protest about it, nothing would induce me to be their guest either.

😂😂😂

Camilla's family will all have prominent places.
It would not surprise me if one or more of them is given a title in a few years time.
