Whether Prince Harry and his wife, Meghan Markle, and their young family attend King Charles III‘s coronation ceremony, they will lose because the new Queen of the land will ensure that.
Camilla, Queen Consort, is set to be crowned with her husband, King Charles, during a lavish ceremony on May 6.
According to an official source at Buckingham Palace, the rules have been changed to accommodate Queen Camilla‘s wishes.
In an unprecedented move, Camilla, Queen Consort, has decided her grandchildren will play one of the most critical roles at the coronation ceremony.
It has been confirmed that Lola Parker Bowles, age 15; Freddy Parker Bowles, 13; Eliza Lopes, 15; and twins Louis and Gus Lopes, 13, will be trusted with the sacred mission of holding a canopy over their grandmother’s head as she is anointed with holy oil.
That role was previously reserved for duchesses, but Camilla, Queen Consort, has revealed that she would rather have her family accomplish that particular mission.
The Buckingham Palace source revealed: “The Queen Consort has said she does not want duchesses and would like it to be her grandchildren.”
In an official statement from Buckingham Palace, it was revealed that Camilla, Queen Consort, declined to have titled members of the British aristocracy and opted for hers and the King’s blended family so the ceremony “will reflect the monarch’s role today and look towards the future while being rooted in longstanding traditions and pageantry.”
Confirming that the Royal Family will completely break away from protocol, Prince William and Kate Middleton‘s oldest son and heir to the throne, Prince George, will have a prominent role at the ceremony.
It is not yet known what roles Camilla, Queen Consort’s two adult children — Tom Parker Bowles and Laura Lopes — will be at the event.
Many royal observers say that Camilla, Queen Consort’s decision to change the coronation rules indicates that Prince Harry and Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, will not partake in the historical and grandiose event.
Daniela Elser, a royal commentator, explained in the NZ Herald: “Harry might be the King’s son and fifth in line to the throne, but now, having turned his litany of family grievances into a highly lucrative one-man cottage industry, on Coronation day, he looks set to play much the same role as one of Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie’s artfully perched chapeaus – ornamental and nothing more.”
She went on to say it is an embarrassing situation for Prince Harry and Markle and added: “The Sussexes will now have to watch on as Camilla’s family steal the limelight, a nation’s hearts, and millions if not billions of clicks and likes.”
The chaos and damage that Prince Harry and Markle caused with their Netflix series and tell-all book Spare has forced King Charles to punish them.
If Prince Harry and his family attend the coronation, they will be ignored, shunned, and have no roles.
