Prince Harry to attend coronation without Meghan

[Anonymous]

I agree that Charles and Camilla are unlikable and can't maintain the affection for the crown like Elizabeth did, but that doesn't mean by default Harry and Meghan are the heroes here. To what end are they fighting against the crown so hard? As family members? Then keep it out of the limelight. As social justice advocates? Then let go of the personal BS and address the real systemic shortcomings of a monarchy. They want to be left to raise their children in peace? Why demand the titles and trappings of public royalty for Archie and Lilibet? They want their children to be recognized as part of the royal hierarchy and have a place in the royal family? Then stop being so divisive and again, take it offline. They try and the BRF isn't accommodating? OK, well then that's they way it is for now ... move on.

Their message isn't clear. Their goals aren't defined. Consequently their efforts feel equally scattered and ineffective.

No he will not.

No longer a working royal, so no.

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.

Another crazy person pretending to know someone famous.

And yet here you know pretending to know the pp

Um, no, I just read their post. LOL

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.

Good one!

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.

+1. Best to steer clear of those grifters.

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.

He was great -- until he took money to publicize his relationship with his daughter. No class. Utter garbage father. Unlike Meghan's mother, who has remained low key.

The kids weren’t invited and Charles knew full well it was Archie’s bday when selecting the event date. They designed it so she wouldn’t attend. It’s fine, he makes quick appearance then heads straight home. Little to no drama.

No reason for her kids to be there. I'm sure she will have a big bash for Archie. A mini coronation making him "mommy's little king complete with crown."

She probably insisted on being on the balcony with a tiara.

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.

Grace? Are you kidding? People change. Maybe he was a good father once, but he proved himself to be a scum bag since then.

Because she wasn’t suicidal. Drama queen more like.

You're a mean person. I hope you never have a brush with suicide with someone in your family or someone else you know.

Using this as a means to gain diminishes those who are struggling with it. You are an enabler and mean to those who are truly suffering with suicide.

You are nuts if you think she was faking struggling with suicide. Nuts.

You are nuts to think it was anything other that her drama queen act.

They so many family members, the coronation would inevitably fall on someone's bday. Besides, I doubt Archie knows when his birthday is and can wait to celebrate.

Wait, what? Of course he knows when his birthday is. He's almost 4. Do you even have children? Good grief, you are on the wrong website.

Scary family genetics, right?

Hopefully she didn't inherit the worst of it. Like her half sister did. Shudder.

If your father and all of his family are viewed as "trash" and not worthy of a relationship, that's half your gene pool.

People are judged by their actions, not their genes. At least in USA 2023.

It is obvious your dimmed view of King Charles just by this alone! Not sure why he would take your advice!

dp My kids did but often times we celebrated it on a different day. At four years of age you could tell him we are celebrating it any day and the kid would be happy!
