Once again, Prince Harry and his wife are in the center of attention as rumors swirl that they may attempt to steal the show at King Charles III’s upcoming coronation on May 6 at Westminster Abbey. According to royal columnist Lee Cohen, the fact that the dates overlap with the fourth birthday of the Sussexes’ son Archie presents a chance for the couple to attempt to overshadow the King on his special day.
Prince Harry and his wife were harshly criticized by Cohen for attempting to sabotage royal occasions rather than upholding their secondary status within the British royal family, calling them “terribly selfish.” He also brought up the incident involving Lilibet’s public image taken during Queen Elizabeth II’s Silver Jubilee, which was covered exclusively by international media.
Family disputes between Prince Harry and his wife with the British royal family could put her attendance at the coronation in jeopardy, even though it has not yet been verified that she will attend. The royal family does not like the tension that has been created by the memoir book and the Netflix series.
Buckingham expects that the coronation will take place in a welcoming and peaceful environment free of publicity-seeking photos or publications. The Sussexes are only there because King Charles III wants to be with his youngest son, so it is anticipated that they will play their supporting role and not attempt to draw attention from the audience.
