The palace worries that Prince Harry might pull out of the coronation at the last minute

This weekend, Buckingham Palace released a lot of news about the coronation, which is happening on May 6th (Saturday). While the various bits and bobs of Chubbly news got headlines, make no mistake, the biggest story is still the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. I don’t know how many times the British papers can report the exact same news – Meghan is staying home! Harry’s visit will be brief! – but they’re definitely keeping the focus on the royal court of Montecito. Sucks to be a British tabloid editor. In any case, I’m starting to get a good idea of how Prince Harry negotiated his appearance at the coronation – he merely acknowledged the invitation for months, blanked on all of the palace courtiers and waited until his father called him directly. Which King Charles finally did a few weeks ago, and it was only then that Harry agreed to come. Now I think Harry is waiting until Charles picks up the phone again to confirm any of his arrangements, and the palace is (again) openly briefing the Mail about how they have no idea what Harry will do.

Coronation organisers are ‘stressed’ about Prince Harry’s plans for Saturday, complaining that establishing them is ‘like trying to communicate with Mars’. Insiders told The Mail on Sunday that they were still seeking confirmation of ‘when he is coming, where he is staying, when he is going back and whether he is happy with his seating position in the Abbey’. Some are even suspicious that he might still pull out at the last minute.

Sources say they have been told so little about Harry’s plans that ‘anything could happen’, ranging from a token appearance to a last-minute no-show. One source said: ‘He has not been responding other than in a “We acknow­ledge your email” holding manner. It’s like trying to communicate with Mars – it was easier to deal with Sinn Fein.’

The Coronation source added: ‘Harry seems to be adopting a High Noon approach, making everyone sweat about his movements. While the Royals are confident that he will show up, others involved are not quite so convinced. The working assumption now is that, assuming he does come, it could mean arriving as late as very early Saturday by private jet and leaving by late afternoon the same day.’

[From The Daily Mail]

LMAO. Harry has all week to do the funniest thing ever, which is skip the coronation after telling his father he would come. I mean, I doubt he will do that. He’ll show up. But unless Charles speaks to him directly, Harry is refusing to engage with Charles’s minions. For good reason – whatever he says to them will be leaked within an hour. There are very real security concerns and Harry also knows his father is a vindictive bastard. Speaking of, the Sun also had a piece about how Harry probably won’t even be in London for a full 24 hours:

PrinceHarry plans a whistlestop visit to his dad’s Coronation next weekend. He will see Charles crowned at Westminster Abbey then aims to be back in the US for son Archie’s fourth birthday.

Speculation has been rife over how long he intends to stay in London, and an insider confirmed last night: “Harry will be in and out of the UK in 24 hours. He will only be doing the Coronation service then leaving.”

The 11am ceremony ends at 1pm so Harry could be in the air by 2-3pm. He would spend ten hours travelling 5,000 miles and land by early evening local time. His full travel plans have been kept secret for security reasons. But it is believed he will arrive in London on Friday — and could return to Santa Barbara airport, 14 miles from his Montecito home by private jet.

[From The Sun]

The Sun also theorized about which airports Harry might use to leave, which just reminded me of the unhinged behavior of the British tabloids last September, just days before QEII passed away, when the Sussexes traveled to Manchester for Meghan’s One Young World speech. The tabloids went full stalker and published diagrams and maps to show the routes the Sussexes were likely taking from Windsor to Manchester, the timetables of the trains and the estimated times of arrival. Like, that’s what’s in store for Harry during this visit too – the papers will publish any scrap of information, especially if it puts Harry in danger. I’m glad he’s not even telling the palace where he’ll be staying. I hope he doesn’t even fly in on Friday. He could honestly time it so he arrives early on Saturday morning and only spends about four or five hours in the UK.

    Harry does not answer the BP staff’s email because they’re media ‘leakers’ who recently leaked that their 📧 are being met with a standard reply.

    So they shared this information with the mail, one of the media companies that Harry is suing due to their unprofessionalism and malfeasance.

    • Exactly!! He keeps his itineraries very quiet for a reason. His safety is his concern since his family seems to want harm to come to him. Maybe if he doesn’t feel safe he won’t come. Only Harry knows and that just enrages them.

      • acha says:

        I agree with you two. It’s hilarious how BP staffers are all trying to pretend that they aren’t the problem.

      • PrincessOfWaffles says:

        Harry is the best lol let them tiptoe
        Watch them report how Harry was in and out of the country to catch Archie’s birthday in montecito, be angry about how little he considers his country and analyze how bad he is for the environment. And then in a superb Harry move, the sussexes will publish a pic with Archie’s birthday in London, making the press absolute sht reporters.

      • Anonymous says:

        Charles was so short sighted about all this. If he’d kept the half-in half-out or at least Harry’s security, maybe he’d have some control and/or knowledge, leverage maybe where Harry is concerned. Now they all have nothing and Harry of course has major security concerns so he’s not telling them and their leakers any details.

        LOLOLOL I hope he busts in and out on Tyler Perry’s jet (can’t imaging flying commercial that weekend would be secure for him) or Elon Musk’s yacht (just kidding LOL), looks amazing, has a fantastic time and, if he thinks it’s best, is back in Montecito to see Archie on his birthday. (Which, btw is the other thing Charles should’ve taken into account if he wanted to have more certainty about Harry’s plans this weekend.)

        These people are just making so many unforced errors!

    • ML says:

      Edward Young is probably the courtier in charge of managing the Chubbly, and H&M has a terrible relationship with him. He’s also the main press liaison for KC. And suspected of leaking. I love the fact that Harry refuses to deal with him and only wants contact with his father.

      • AnnaKist says:

        And he is not the one calling his father! Forcing the old man to pick up the phone himself. Quality control. Go Harry! ♥️

      • Jaded says:

        Edward Young would leak like a sieve if he got hold of any information about Harry, his animosity towards the Sussexes is so out of control. Let’s not forget he was the one who refused to contact his RAVEC colleagues with Harry’s request to pay for his own RPO security, hence Harry’s having to take legal action against the Home Office and the MET.

    • Friend of a Friend says:

      I actually have some very specific intel about this. There is a go-between who facilitates all the correspondence between Montecito and Buckingham Palace. Harry has committed to attending, and has informed them he will be in and out in less than 24 hours. In concession for coming to make the appearance, Harry will have a few minutes of private time with Charles, with whom he has had a least one “productive” conversation in the past week or two.

      • Jaded says:

        Wow, thanks for posting! Just as we thought, Harry’s doing a quick turnaround. So “Pa” is gracing his son with a few minutes of private time…how gracious. I hope Camzilla isn’t there. As for Willnot and Cannot, I guess they’ll go gnaw on the wallpaper in a fit of pique.

      • sammi says:

        This sound incredulous if he is in and out in 24 hours. Charles is hardly going to have even a minute on the day of the Coronation or the eve and I doubt Harry wants to speak to him on the day his mother would have been crowned Queen and have to sit through this sham ceremony which is meant to be sacred. Move his wax work back to Meghan in the star room away from the Not so royal family and let them get on with their new lives now they have moved on. They have work to do !

      • Kathleen says:

        With the planned strike at Heathrow, how sure is Harry of getting out in time? They will try to delay him by any means necessary.

    • The Recluse says:

      If Chuck knows his itinerary, then (bodies in the streets) Camilla does, too, and she won’t hesitate to weaponize it. Harry doesn’t want to give anyone the opportunity to do anything to him remotely like what they did to his mother either – and the press has been ramping up the hate.

    • Elizabeth Phillips says:

      I’m still hoping for rain. If it doesn’t rain in London, maybe it will rain in California so he can’t fly.

      • BothSidesNow says:

        Oh how I would love that Harry couldn’t fly out due to weather. Oh well Pa, the weather is too bad for me to fly out and for my return for Archie’s birthday party. Peace out!!

  2. Pinkosaurus says:

    Now that they are trumpeting his whistle stop schedule, I hope he has at least one charity visit before or after the ceremony, perhaps with some veteran athletes training for the Invictus Games? M&H reminding the tabloids that they can’t be tracked delights me every time.

    • Snuffles says:

      He’s going to be in and out so he can be back home for Archie’s birthday.

      • AnnaKist says:

        Yep. Charles will get a few hours and nothing more. Then Harry will get skewered for running away. He can’t win, so he’s doing the right thing by just pleasing himself and his wife. He’s a quality gent. ♥️

    • Jojo says:

      It would be hysterical if he arrived the same casual way he did for that court attendance. Random black cab pulls up outside the Abbey at 10.30 am, Harry strolls up to the door, looking fab, smiling & waving at everyone. Asks where they want him to sit, gets settled in & starts reading the order of service programme while occasionally glancing at his watch.

      • LadyO says:

        Yes, that would be perfect!

      • Robert Phillips says:

        I’ve been saying this for weeks. When all those articles about them maybe reconcilling. Harry won’t see any of his family except being in the same room during the service. He won’t talk to any of them at all. And I’m wondering how long is a flight from Paris to England. He could fly into Paris a day or two ahead to relax a little then hop over for the ceremony then leave. They just assume he will fly directly from the U.S. to England.

      • Gabby says:

        I would still love to see him casually roll up with FLOTUS surrounded by Secret Service.

    • Amy Bee says:

      He’s not going to have time to do a charity event.

    • Friend of a Friend says:

      He’s informed them that he’s there for an in-and-out appearance, expected to be under 24 hours.

  3. Snuffles says:

    Harry is not telling any of you fuckers for security reasons.

    • Jay says:

      Exactly – they are so clearly hoping to leak details of his plans. And wtf they want to make sure he’s “happy with his seating position in the Abbey”. They mean that they want to leak that he’s unhappy or whining about where he sits. Seriously, H doesn’t give a fig where he sits – he’s attending as a formality then making a beeline back to California.

      • Cara says:

        Happy with his seating position in the abbey … because Harry’s happiness is so very important to them, right??

    • Louise177 says:

      Why do organizers need to know his itinerary anyway? Harry isn’t involved in the coronation, and Charles isn’t providing security or accommodations. Harry is basically just a guest.

    • notasugarhere says:

      Exactly, nor is he telling ‘friend of a friend of a friend’

      • Friend of a Friend says:

        You certainly don’t have to believe me, and I’m not going to burn my source. So far all the Intel they’ve given me has panned out. We shall see!

        There have been numerous credible threats against Charles & Camz (which is one of the main reasons for inviting so few & keeping the ceremony short).

      • notasugarhere says:

        A credible source wouldn’t take this risk, nor would they put up with someone outing their info.

  4. ThatsNotOkay says:

    Stealth Harry. He still moves like he’s in the military. This is hilarious and they will never know his plans until he has arrived and after he’s left.

  5. Jais says:

    “It’s like trying to communicate with Mars-it was easier dealing with Sinn Fein” 😂omg, I love this. Harry is sending the message that Pa can call him but he ain’t sending the minions his details.

    • Lucy says:

      The Sinn Fein bit made me laugh.

      He’s treating them like the hostile force they are, and they’re leaking every interaction.

      I love him gray rocking the courtiers, let’s see how Charles does. I have a feeling we know he’s not capable of much, emotionally.

      • Cara says:

        The Sinn Fein part was way over the top even for these pustules.

      • Where'sMyTiara says:

        This is the Brit media though. That Sinn Fein comment was fully intended as an insult to Harry. That’s how low they place Harry now. They deliberately insult him at every turn and then wonder why they can’t get him to confirm travel details. How do they not get their heads around it?

        Funniest thing is, they’d know ALL of that if they 1) hadn’t ripped away his security, 2) kicked him out of Frogmore, 3) told him he had to be all out or all in.
        They literally did it to themselves, they have no reason to bitch now. This current state was entirely the palaces’ doing.

        Prince Harry’s whereabouts are on a need to know basis and people who sold him out and tried to get him killed DO NOT NEED TO KNOW.

      • PunkPrincessPhD says:

        TBF, the Sinn Féin First Minister of NI (or, would be if the Assembly was functioning) has actually been really chill about attending. She was the one joking with Charles at Hillsborough ahead of his Penpocalypse.

    • Becks1 says:

      I loved that line.

      Harry knows that he holds all the cards here. The coronation needs him there more than he needs to be there.

  6. equality says:

    What makes ‘when he is coming, where he is staying, when he is going back’ any of their business?

    • Lorelei says:

      And please don’t try to tell us that they need to know if he’s “happy” with where he’s being seated. JFC

      • Polo says:

        Right weren’t they yelling loudly about Harry’s seating demands meanwhile the guy doesn’t care..

        I truly hope this is them creating boundaries in who they speak to at the palace after the non stop leaks that have been twisted negatively to prop up the other royals.

      • acha says:

        strongly suspect that he’d only be “unhappy” with his seat if it’s unsafe

      • Ann says:

        They want to know where’s he’s seated so they can have a camera full on him during the entire ceremony. That’s why when he’s told where to sit, I hope he says, “Thank you” and goes somewhere else, lol. (“Excuse me, would you mind if I sat here next to you?” to some random stranger.)

    • Dee(2) says:

      Because they need another weeks worth of stories and they aren’t getting anything from the Sussexes other than success and happiness. Are they providing security? That’s the only way I can see needing to know where he is, but I would imagine the security team would prefer that he communicates directly with them to minimize risk. So even then it seems like a stretch that they need to know.

    • Eurydice says:

      That’s the thing, isn’t it. If Charles hadn’t evicted H&M from Frogmore Cottage, then they’d know where he was staying. If they hadn’t been constantly leaking his whereabouts and been incandescent for months about how unwelcome H&M are to all the coronation plans, then they’d know when he’ll be coming and going, etc. But, if they’re going to treat him like an unwelcome stranger, then they’ll get the same treatment in return.

      • Jais says:

        Was it ever confirmed the exact date of the eviction? I could see Harry still staying at frogmore. It’d be funny if he didn’t and they had no clue but he’ll need their security at some point to get to WA.

    • UNCDancer says:

      Seriously. If Harry knows what time and where, he is good. They don’t need to know the rest. They can kick rocks.

  7. maisie says:

    that is actually more than Charles deserves at this point.

    I’m sure Harry has made it clear that if he tells Charles what his plans are and then it shows up in the tabs, then the relationship is over, finished, kaput.

    • Snuffles says:

      More like, if one iota of his plans get leaked, he won’t come because it puts him in danger.

      • Where'sMyTiara says:

        As it is, I think Harry is only making the concession to show up at all, because given how he’s been treated, and given how much we’ve witnessed him pull back in the last year, I believe he fully intends that this is his last visit to his family. Like, enjoy my attendance at your Shiny Hat Party Pa, because I’m not going to be back until your funeral. That’s the vibe I’m getting from the new cautiousness Harry is expressing. This is a man who is moving from low contact to no contact and is going full on grey rock the whole way there.

  8. HamsterJam says:

    I still can’t get over how the British Effing Media published an arial photo of the house he was staying at next to an actual street map with giant red arrows pointing at the house right after his dad took away his security agents.

    He is a better person than I will ever be because in my mind they were straight up trying to get him killed.

    • Where'sMyTiara says:

      They’ve been trying to get him killed for years…

      1. Afghanistan deployment – location leaked, putting not only Harry but everyone he served with in danger. How convenient that it was blamed on Australian press… who on Salty Island gave the Aussies the info though? No one followed up on that security leak because they knew it came from courtiers of Certain Senior Royals.
      2. the Cotswolds house leak – they had to abandon that property because of the press intrusion… drones, etc.
      3. Canada, post-security rescission. That was possibly the most dangerous time of their lives and thank the gods for Tyler Perry.
      4. Jubilee year celebrations, outing where they were staying while doing previously scheduled charity events (Manchester, wasn’t it?)
      5. Con-A-Nation leadup, they want the deets at the palace so Edward Young can gossip sneeze to all the tabloids.

      Have I missed any? Africa, honeymoon?

      • Gabby says:

        The Hague for the Invictus Games last year. They named and circled the faces of his security team in photos.

      • Heyhey22 says:

        They say on the L.A. site that folks in the know , KNOW that it was from KP, the leaking of the Harry in Afghanistan. Basically saying that it couldn’t have happened unless W gave the order to. Wouldn’t surprise me.

      • notasugarhere says:

        His car was chased at high speed by paps after the Diana statue unveiling and for his WellChild visit during the same trip. That experience stopped Harry from coming back for the public event around her statue. During that public event, William trashed talked Harry to anyone who would listen.

    • HamsterJam says:

      It honestly breaks my heart what they tried to do to him. They LITERALLY PUT an effing target on the house he was staying at.

      Ha ha we will give Tyler Perry’s security team a run for their money.

      The gaslighting, for me, that is horrific how so many people get away with that

      Oh the little fragile woke boy, his momma was paranoid too.

      Harry, please fight the good fight for those of us who don’t have the resources to.

  9. Well Wisher says:

    They know almost nothing of his travel plans or where he’ll stay.
    He can simply inform them where to send the car when he gets there.
    He is probably nonchalant about seating being in a present emotional healthy state.

    So no response.

    The rest is due to security.

    In regards to the sun, I hope providence prevails and there is a trial in which one would be able to read about the amorality used in newsgathering by the sun.
    The proper result is that the ill reputed NGN would be unable to validate the reputation of anyone via gossip nor innuendo.

  10. tolly says:

    Harry is no longer his father’s employee and is refusing to be treated as such. The late Queen eventually accepted this and communicated with him directly (to the dismay of her courtiers), but Charles still expects him to go through intermediaries.

    • L84Tea says:

      THIS.

    • Anastasia says:

      Exactly, if he’s fully out, then this is not a Royal Duty to The King ™ but a familial favor to his father. And if it’s a familial favor, it’s none of the public’s business because they have no stake in the matter.

      Other than stalking.

  11. aquarius64 says:

    Give ’em hell Harry. There is a planned strike at the airport so that’s a problem. The paps are stalking the airports in CA and the UK to get a shot. And with anti monarchy sentiment bubbling Harry knows he would be a target. It’s probably why Meghan and the kids are in the US; the children are on the line of succession like their dad. Harry probably stated keeping leaking my whereabouts I won’t come.

  12. MSTJ says:

    Family, not institution. Harry was clear about the relationship he wants. Why are they operating like he didn’t clearly say it to the world as recently as 5 months ago during his interview for the release of Spare?

  13. EasternViolet says:

    Harry is absolutely a boss here. His father would not let him take a press breather when shit was dangerous and unhinged and forced him to quit the firm … an all or nothing arrangement. So, Harry is DONE with the institution. He’s dealing with one person and one only… his father.

    This is not scorched earth or revenge… its just treating an abuser as they should. With clear boundaries.

  14. Emily says:

    If he does pull out, it’s only because of the RF’s own BS.

  15. Lili says:

    ” confirmation of ‘when he is coming, where he is staying, when he is going back and whether he is happy with his seating position”. I dont think they should be concerened about when he is coming or where he is staying or when he is going back. If he is happy with his seating position maybe. the perivious are a security risk for Harry. even his seating is as well

  16. Polo says:

    Omg imagine the drama if he does a no show. The headlines and the anger that would come from the usuals would be unbelievable.
    At this point it might be better if he flew in for the minimum amount of hours capable and left. It’s possible to do this flying commercial unless strikes at the airport lead to cancellations 😜

    But private jet would be way more comfortable. I expect the media will be tracking his flight like they’ve done for other major events if they find out.

    • Amy Bee says:

      It’s easier to track a private jet than a commercial airline so he’ll probably come in by commercial flight.

      • Polo says:

        Yeah I’m expecting commercial.. he usually doesn’t fly private unless they are with their kids.
        He’s flown incognito most of the time that way.

      • Lady D says:

        He can fly to Paris and go commercial from there.

  17. Amy Bee says:

    Harry’s not talking because he knows whatever he tells the Palace will be leaked to the press.

  18. Ace says:

    So Harry should give them his itinerary so they can give it to the tabloids to be splashed in their front pages? Oh yeah, sounds good.

  19. IWesley says:

    Are they demanding the same information from all the other international guests? Have they demanded a full itinerary from Jill Biden or the King of Norway? I suspect not.

    • Visa Diva says:

      They definitely do. There’s a high degree of coordination between security teams and British security will want to know when heads of state/government/official representatives are due to arrive, when they’re on the ground and where they are staying.

      Harry is none of those things so basically all that needs coordination is transportation to and from Westminster Abbey.

  20. MsIam says:

    I wish he would fly in with the First Lady. I believe he can as long as he reimburses the government for the cost of his ticket and food.

    • Abby says:

      That would actually be a good idea IMO. He would have to take a different plane back though unless Dr. Jill was also nope-ing out to go to Archie’s bday right after.

  21. LOretta says:

    ‘He has not been responding other than in a “We acknow­ledge your email” holding manner. It’s like trying to communicate with Mars’
    I can’t stop laughing LOL

  22. Reign says:

    It seems to me the connection is being missed. Prince Harry is going for family not the institution so he will speak with his father not the Firm.
    If KC wants his son there then he needs to speak to him as a father.
    KC is so jubilant over a dwindling show he can’t see what he needs to do.

    I have seen Hassle the Castle on a couple Twitter accounts. Seems KC has lots to watch for.

  23. VonBarron says:

    I hope he catches a ride with Dr. Biden and sits with the organist in the abbey.

    Love this man. His word is his pride. He won’t break it. But he gives zero shits about the pomp and bullshit.

  24. girl_ninja says:

    If they would only treated he and Meghan with respect and dignity they wouldn’t have to worry about any of this.

    But because that family is so shitty, lazy and racist they lost the best of the bunch.

    • Kingston says:

      @girl_ninja

      You know what……….theres a price for everything. We pay a price for everything in life. Some we pay without even noticing that we are paying/have paid; while others are in-your-face.

      Sometimes in life, one goes thru such excruciating pain (physical or metaphorical) that you never believe you wd ever again know happiness or even “normalcy.”

      The pain is the price. And in fact, there are those who never get to escape/never stop paying.

      But then, some lucky ones get thru it. And on the other side its soooooo much more than you ever thought you would ever experience in life.

      Thats how I see H&M’s experience in the RF. I am glad, very glad, that the palace ghouls never “treated Harry and Meghan with respect and dignity.” Because if they had offered even the barest minimum of respect, H&M would have stayed and worked within that soul-crushing organization out of a [misguided] sense of duty.

      So yeah, out of the excruciating pain they suffered from their experience in the RF, theyre now on this other side where not even those 2 could have imagined how wonderful and full of possibility their life is now.

  25. Lizzie says:

    Wait, so after advertising that his every move would be tightly controlled, he is not really sharing his plans? Go figure.

  26. Mary Pester says:

    Yep, stealth Harry strikes again, and GOOD for him. Has he not been making it clear to the little Palace toads for the last few years, that THEY Do NOT control his movements or his life. Those days have long gone. Charlie has communicated with Harry and Harry has told him, that if one word appears in the press about where when and how, he will NOT be there. The press have continually painted a target on his back and Harry has now got them and the Palace toads seething, good, suck it up buttercups, Harry is his own man, and how does it feel that you are now dancing to his tune 😂😂??

  27. LadyE says:

    The absolute gaslighting of these people! The gall to complain “wah he won’t tell me his plans!!” WHILE leaking to the Daily Fail! Stupid idiots, your answer for *why* is explained by very fact this article exists.

  28. KimmyChoo says:

    “Sits with the organist!” Perfect!

  29. BW says:

    I wouldn’t be surprised if Harry sleeps on the flight over, goes to the clownation and then flies out right after. No staying over.

  30. DaisyMay says:

    Too bad he can’t send a double in his place. The whole thing sounds exhausting. Poor Harry. All that effort, stress and risk just to be snubbed and abused.

  31. Flower says:

    If Harry does this, it would be the ULTIMATE ace card, but it would also effectively be a declaration of war, so I don’t see it happening.

    Harry is cut from a different cloth to his cruel family and I believe that H&M are playing the long game with the UK Windsors.

  32. Becks1 says:

    Harry is not going to pull out of the coronation at the last minute. I mean I guess its possible but I think at this point its really unlikely.

    Not sharing his plans with the likes of edward young does not mean he’s considering not attending. It means he’s attending on his terms.

      I thought Charles was going to pull an Angela Kelly with Edward Young too. I guess Young knows where even more bodies are buried so he’s managed to cling on for dear life. Hopefully he’ll get the boot after the ConJob.

      • Becks1 says:

        I think Edward Young is Charles’ man, so he’s probably safe.

      • Jaded says:

        @Becks1 – absolutely. Charles (along with Andrew) were the ones who booted the wise and clear-thinking Christopher Geist and replaced him with EY. He is Chuck’s eyes and ears and will definitely continue playing bad cop for him.

  33. tamsin says:

    Harry is an honourable man and will keep his word and appear for the coronation. Also, I thought Edward Young had already been replaced by Charles’s own man- not that that would be an improvement. It is costing Harry and Meghan a great deal of stress for him to do his duty to his father, I’m sure. I do see an in and out scenario. Why wouldn’t that be the case when the courtiers have made it clear that Harry is not included in any of the other events- no invitation to dinner, lunch, or balcony. Harry truly exemplifies duty. Charles cannot do the right thing as a king or as a father. But then, many kings and fathers have never done the right thing. Throughout history, kings, and queens, have been allowed to be murderers, tyrants, and thieves. So Charles is not setting any new paths here of despicable behaviour. And he is doing all this with his trusty mare by his side. Pray for the protection of Diana’s spirit for Harry.

    • Kingston says:

      The only reason theres “no invitation to dinner….” etc. is that H has not indicated that he’s interested in attending anything beside the church service…….just as the Sussexes did for betty’s jubbly.

      Because theres absolutely no doubt that if H, in attending alone, had indicatred that he was interested in being a part of/playing a role in ANY PART OF the CONanation, you bet your bottom dollar they wouldnt be able to role out the red carpet fast enough.

      They want nothing more desperately than to have Harry back in their control.

  34. Mary says:

    I wouldn’t blame Harry for pulling out at the last minute, given the way Royal sources appear to be so determined to disclose his plans regarding his flight, accommodations and where he will be sitting at the Coronation. They absolutely do want to compromise his security.

    The only “King” that should matter on May 6th is Prince Archie. On a related note, I actually checked the days of the week on which UK coronations have been held for the last 200 years and ALL save one were held on a Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday. The only prior Coronation held on a Saturday (Edward the VII) had initially been scheduled for the middle of the week. It had to be rescheduled for two months later because of his illness. So, Charles just happens to schedule his Coronation on a Saturday, against the norm, the same day as Archie’s birthday?! Noone can convince me that this was not done on purpose.

  35. Worktowander says:

    Why should Harry talk to the office staff? While that might have been reasonable when he was on the payroll, he doesn’t work for the firm anymore. No need to go through the glorified receptionist at this point.

    This is a family visit that should be arranged via the family.

    Color me crazy, I know.

  36. Tana says:

    The RD is lucky that Harry will appear at all for the Bore and Whore Show. If Charles was not such a weak-kneed wussy that he is controlled by Cruella, the familial relationship that Harry needed to experience after his mother’s death would have cemented long ago.
    The RF can sit sucking on their considerable sets of teeth. Every one of them except H&M make me want to vomit.

    • Kingston says:

      Wow, @Tana
      I, for one, THANK! YOU! for expressing my sentiments exactly!

      I am so disgusted at the barefacedness of these fckers in palaces that I want to spit! and vomit!

  37. Izzy says:

    1) I seriously doubt Harry gives a single rat’s toot about where he is sitting as long as it’s not next to Egg and Bones.
    2) Echoing what others have said here: if he told them his plans, they’d leak them to the press and no amount of promises from Upchuck the Turd can prevent it because he has no control over Egg.

  38. Is That So? says:

    The working assumption now is that, assuming he does come, it could mean arriving as late as very early Saturday by private jet and leaving by late afternoon the same day.’

    [From The Daily Mail]

    That’s what I’ve been hoping from the day Prince Harry said he was going. I wish the Sussexes’ family and friends go visit Elton in France, Prince Harry slips over the Chanel does his 90 minute duty and head back for a late afternoon birthday party with Prince Archie.

  39. jferber says:

    Of course they want to know exactly where Harry will be seated. It makes it so much easier for the derangers to get at him.

  40. jferber says:

    I think Harry has every right to pull out of the coronation at the last minute if he deems it is necessary to do so. As a man of honor, he is at a strategic disadvantage to his whole family, who have none. However, if his security is at stake or something else that is urgent that we don’t know about, he should DEFINITELY bolt. I trust Harry’s judgment completely and would not question his actions. The BM will shit all over him no matter what he does or doesn’t do. Hell, they’d be happy to see him dead.

  41. blunt talker says:

    I m just praying for a safe ride there and back-he definitely has a target on his back from the leakers working for the royal family and the shitstain media of the UK-no harm better come to Harry or the royals and the media will never live it down-Harry’s momma was right and she was not paranoid.

  42. Cassie says:

    Come on Jill Bidens arm,my ultimate wish for him .

  43. phlyfiremama says:

    *cough, cough I say old chap I do feel a bit of conanation flu coming on *cough, cough perhaps it’s better if I skip the…festivities.

  44. Chris says:

    Still think it’s shitty to have the coronation on your grandson’s birthday.

  45. tamra says:

    Why do they care if they are going to “snub” him? Do they have the travel plans of all guests? I imagine the moment his passport is entered into the system, they will be alerted. I just hope he gets back home safe!

  46. Nicky says:

    I still wish Harry wouldn’t go maybe there’s a strike that could happen?
    I don’t trust Charles that any meeting will be good for H, maybe Harry is going to just say we’re done? I wouldn’t trust Camilla and I’m like others here who believe this was a PBs decades-old plot to get their hands on the money and power I don’t believe she loves Chuck or ever did. She loves the power and control.
    It’s awful of me but C&C are elderly now and all that stress might just result in a dose of the Shingles and wonder what that would do if it came at chubbly time…Sorry 😈
