I think there will be a reconciliation when Harry and Meghan divorce. It's coming. No one could tolerate being married to her for very long. She is estranged from nearly every member of her family save her mother.

She was an only child. Her father is trash. I would question if she WEREN'T estranged from those wack jobs.

This is not true. In her own words she told everyone that he was a "wonderful father" and how close they were. Now I could only find information that was not behind a paywall was the Daily.

I found this from the blog:
n a 2014 Father's Day post on her now-defunct blog, The Tig, Meghan wrote: "I think of so many moments with my dad. Our club sandwich & fruit smoothie tradition post my tap & ballet class - classes, which by the way, he religiously took me to on Saturday mornings after working 75+ hours a week as a lighting director.

So weird she couldn’t extend him any grace. Maybe once her kids are a little older she’ll reflect on everything he did for her.

Hopefully!

I think this is a missed opportunity for the King to lead.

If I were Chuck, I would have made sure Harry was there with a smile on his face along with his wife and kids.

I would message that family means everything and he is proud of Harry and happy for his new life…which aligns with his scaled back approach to the monarchy and working royals.

Heck, I would throw a birthday party for Archie and leak pics.

Make clear we are over the drama and carry on.

All she did at the funeral was wear black and stand silently in the locations people told her to stand, and people were enraged. So yeah, I don't see why she'd got to the coronation.

THIS, every day and twice on Coronation Day.

I’m not convinced they won’t be there. The article could be a distraction so they can travel under the radar.

Agree but don't think they're quite ready to fake it. Not enough time for hurt feelings and anger to dissipate sufficiently to pull this off.

But major eye roll at giving the kids the Prince / Princess titles in LA but then they don't even want to go to the most important royal event? Okay then.

Yes. They can bash the Royal Family and then give titles to their kids? WTH?

They are gross. They want the perks and privileges of royal life (like titles and being called "your royal highness") without the responsibilities. I remember watching Meghan completely trash Harry's family during the Oprah interview and then, with absolute seriousness, complain about Archie not having a royal title which, she claimed, was his birthright. If royal life was really so intolerable as Meghan claimed, then why would she want her children associated with it in any way? Because she's status and famed obsessed, that's why.

If my wife was not going, neither am I.
I'd be like (to wife) " You know something? I'm staying here with you!"

I think most healthy couples would feel this way in a tense situation. I do wonder if there is tension now between Harry and Meghan. I wonder if he looks at her and wonders if she was worth him destroying his relationship with his family and the only life he's ever known. If she couldn't bear to go, fearing (rightfully) an ice cold reception from the British people and the RF, then the loving and loyal thing for Harry to do would be to stay home with his wife.

I'm glad he's not doing that, though.

The converse view, Harry is happy every day to be away from those toxic miserable people that destroyed his mother, and is living the good life in beautiful Santa Barbara. The people in his family with whom he felt a strong connection are all dead.

Then why leave his beloved wife and children home in sunny California to go toast those "toxic, miserable people" at the coronation? Why not take a stand and present a united front with his wife? I think it's because his wife is the most toxic and miserable one of all.

Yes, but you clearly are a bit deranged and have a very unhealthy obsession with Megan. His father asked him to come for appearances sake and he complied. I expect he won’t be there any longer than necessary.

Yes, this is all it is. I don’t believe for a second they’re separating either. I don’t necessarily think the relationship will go the distance but I think pp is just hoping that’s the case.

And don't say it's because 'why would she go if everyone hates her there?' That negative stimulus hasn't ever stopped Meghan and can be argued that she thrives on it.

I love how she - a strong, independent, beautiful woman who you DON'T KNOW- lives rent free in your heads like this. And you're defending a racist, colonizing, absurdly dysfunctional monarchy in the process.

LOL.

Charlies is a petty, jealous man-child. Camila is not better, and arguably worse. He has no ability to be a leader or the bigger person. Ever. Never has. Never will.

It's one reason he is wildly unpopular.

This just fans the flames. He's a dick. Period.

Chuck invited them. Even after they trashed him in the book(s) and interview(s). What do you want him to do? kidnap them and force them to be there?

By acceding to all of their ridiculous demands to make the Coronation about themselves despite trashing the very same Institution of which Charles is the lead?

Yeah, some leadership...

I'm sure the people of the UK would love that.

Literally from birth he has been told that his vast privilege comes with certain responsibilities to his family and to the country, and I'm guessing that programming is kicking in. If he skips the coronation, he can't undo it. Going probably feels safer even if he's unhappy about it.

I think being raised a royal is basically like growing up in a cult. Even if you can finally recognize that it's a cult and that your long term well being is not served by staying part of it, it's literally the only family you've ever known and breaking with it might mean never seeing or speaking to your father or brother again. I can understand why he would go even if Meghan (who didn't grow up in this cult and in fact has been shunned by it) reasonably won't go. Not going would be shutting a door on the entire life he was born and raised into. I think it must be hard.

Since Meghan will always be criticized harshly no matter what she does, I hope she is simply doing whatever will make her feel most happy and safe. If people were going to call me names and assume everything I say and do is some kind of plot to overthrow the monarchy no matter what, I'd rather sit in my nice house in California playing with my kids and celebrating my eldest's birthday with friends, than wear uncomfortable clothes (that I will be criticized for) while being shuffled from one deadly dull event to another as people refuse to speak to me and gossip about me behind my back. I mean, come on.

LOL it's not that, it's more like "everything I do or say around this person has a chance to end up in a documentary, book or the next Oprah interview, so I'd rather just avoid her completely". Not unreasonable, looking at facts.

As everything the Palace says, the real meaning is in the language.

"Harry will attend" - that's it. He will attend, not participate, not have any meaningful role, he will be a butt in a seat. No official role at all.

"Coronation service" - remember, Coronation will be a weekend with all kinds of festivities. Harry will attend only the official part of it. Nothing else is promised.

My prediction is that it will be like the Queen's last day at Balmoral. Harry flew in at 8 pm, ate dinner on his own or with someone unimportant, and flew out the next morning. He is on the outs, and the family is committed to conveying this message with everything they say. Frankly, not sure I blame them considering they feel that everything they say or do around Harry will be in the papers tomorrow.

Harry is attending but I wonder if he will be on the balcony with the rest of them.

She can dish it out but can't take the booing or rotten eggs that are going to hit Harry.
