Meghan Markle and her husband, Prince Harry, have been invited to attend the coronation ceremony of King Charles III.
While the pair is trying to keep some mystery around their attendance, sources from the Palace are spilling more royal tea than at the Boston Tea Party.
As the crowning ceremony is fast approaching — all the questions that kept royal observers up at night are being answered.
For months there has been a boatload of speculations about whether or not they would be invited to the event of the decade.
Ink has been spilled on whether or not they would attend if they received invitations.
This week, Prince Harry and Markle put an end to some chatters, and King Charles has made moves to quiet the remaining.
In an official statement issued by their representative, the California-based couple said that King Charles had invited them to the state and religious event.
The renegade royals clearly enclosed in the statement that any other leaks about them flying to London on May 6th for the ceremony will not come from them.
The well-worded statement read: “I can confirm The Duke has recently received email correspondence from His Majesty‘s office regarding the coronation. An immediate decision on whether The Duke and Duchess will attend will not be disclosed by us at this time.”
King Charles does not follow orders from Prince Harry and Markle, so he blew the pair’s attempt to keep the trip a secret by making it known to the world that he expects them to attend via credible royal sources and staff members.
Sources from Buckingham Palace spoke to the Daily Mail and the Telegraph to say that King Charles is making his plans with Prince Harry and Markle and their young children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, in mind.
They told the Daily Mail: “Harry and Meghan are being factored into all of the planning … the cars, the seating plans, dining arrangements, everything. No one knows for certain whether this means they have definitely accepted – it could, of course, be just in case they do – but it’s clearly not a ‘no.’The staff is certainly working on the expectation they are coming. These kinds of arrangements have to be made well in advance.”
A second source “with knowledge of Harry and Meghan’s thoughts on the issue” added: “The indication is that they are, although there is a lot that needs to be worked through first.”
Insiders from The Palace say that despite the eviction, Prince Harry and Markle will be allowed to stay at Frogmore Cottage.
They are expected to move out of the Windsor home this summer. It is not yet known if Prince Harry and his family will be part of the procession to or from Westminster Abbey in London.
However, King Charles has made it clear that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex will not appear on the balcony of Buckingham Palace for the famous family portrait.
