Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have been dealt yet another blow as reports emerged claiming their children have not been invited to the Coronation. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex confirmed last week that the King had invited them to the ceremony scheduled to take place on May 6. But Prince Archie Harrison, 3, and Princess Lilibet Diana’s,1, attendance has now been thrown into question.
The Sunday Telegraph reported correspondence from Buckingham Palace did not include any mention of the children being invited to the ceremony.
The service is due in eight weeks and Harry and Meghan have allegedly received no guidance on whether the children will be allowed to attend.
A royal source noted that Archie and Lilibet are “very young” and might struggle to cope with the ceremony.
Prince George, 9, and Princess Charlotte, 7, are expected to take part in the service. Camilla, the Queen Consort’s four grandchildren are also tipped to take part.
The Prince and Princess of Wales, however, are believed to still be considering whether to bring Prince Louis, who will be turning 5 next month, to the Coronation service.
The report emerged after royal insiders suggested the Royal Family is still adamant to exclude the Duke and Duchess of Sussex from most of the proceedings on the day of the ceremony.
One friend of the family said some members are hoping the couple will be “seated in Iceland” and kept away on the King’s special day.
Buckingham Palace has so far refused to comment on whether His Majesty’s grandchildren will play a role in the service but it is understood the Queen Consort’s will.
