Prince Harry and Meghan Markle Will Have a Major Role in Prince Charles' Coronation, Royal Commentator Says

Since Prince Harry and Meghan Markle stepped down as senior royals in 2020, the Sussexes’ relationship with some other members of the royal family has been strained. There have been many questions recently about whether the duke and duchess will even return to the U.K. Well, according to a royal commentator despite all that has happened they will have a significant role in Prince Charles‘ coronation when that time comes.

Prince Harry and Prince Charles’ relationship has been strained

Prince Harry’s relationship with his father since he left the U.K. hasn’t been good.

After moving to Montecito, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex sat down with Oprah Winfrey and Harry claimed that the Prince of Wales cut him off financially. Harry also said he believed his father was “trapped by the institution” and described their relationship as “space.” 

Two months later on the Armchair Expert podcast, the duke brought up his dad again and seemed to take a shot at Charles’ parenting. “There’s no blame,” Harry said, before adding: “But certainly when it comes to parenting if I have experienced some kind of pain or suffering because of the pain or suffering that perhaps my father or my parents had suffered, I’m going to make sure I break that cycle so I don’t pass it on.”

Meghan and Harry will have important role in Charles’ coronation, expert says

Some royal fans thought that after Harry and Meghan moved across the pond and stepped away from their duties on behalf of the crown that they wouldn’t be involved in any large-scale royal events. However, royal commentator Christine Ross said that’s not the case.

According to Ross, because they are the son and daughter-in-law of the next monarch they “hold incredibly significant positions” and traditionally would have a major role when Prince Charles is crowned king. She added that Harry and his family “will be encouraged to take part as much as they like at Charles’ coronation and will be involved in wider photos.”

Ross went on to explain that the heirs to the throne — Prince William and Prince George — will be placed prominently at the ceremony with their family alongside them.

“I do imagine that Charles will want a larger family group shot of the existing royal family,” Ross told the Royally Us podcast (per Express). “I do think that Harry would be a part of that and Meghan may be as well if she wanted to be.”

The Sussexes may not return to England if they don’t get what they want

Ross’ point about the Sussexes doing so if they want to is huge because at the moment it seems to be up in the air as to whether or not they will return to England at all.

Since announcing they were stepping down as senior royals and moving to America, Prince Harry has traveled back to England twice. Once for Prince Philip’s funeral and once for the unveiling of Princess Diana’s statue at Kensington Palace. Meghan meanwhile, has not been on U.K. soil since attending their final royal engagement in March 2020.

Harry has said that in order for his family to travel to England he wants private security which he has offered to pay for. However, the Daily Mail reported that “When Harry left The Firm the terms [of his exit] were clear. Like other members of the public, he and his wife are not able to hire armed cops at will — no matter how much they offer to pay.” Therefore, the security the Sussexes have in the U.S. could not be replicated in the U.K. because people aren’t allowed to walk the streets with guns.
