The prince will once again come face to face with his family as he makes the decision to show up for his father’s big day. He will travel without his wife, who will remain in the United States.

Prince Harry will be at the king’s coronation but Meghan will stay in California with their children, Buckingham Palace has announced.

In a statement, he said he was “pleased to confirm that the Duke of Sussex will attend the coronation service at Westminster Abbey on May 6.

“THE Duchess of Sussex will stay in California with Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.”

Harrywho revealed his troubled relationship with the Royal family in his Netflix show and his autobiography, will witness the king and her mother-in-law the queen consort to be crowned.

This ends months of speculation over whether the couple would turn up, but it’s likely some critics will accuse Meghan of snubbing the ceremony.

The coronation date is also Archie’s fourth birthday.

Archewell, Harry and Meghan’s charitable foundation, released an almost identical statement confirming the Duke would be attending.

Doubts over whether Harry would attend the coronation grew after explosive claims in his book, Spare, which painted his family in an unflattering light and laid bare tensions.

He claimed his brother William threw him to the ground after calling Meghan “difficult”, “rough” and “abrasive”.

The Duke also said his father put his own interests above those of Harry and was jealous of Meghan and Kate, and that the Queen Consort had sacrificed him on “her personal public relations altar”.

The claims came after the couple’s Oprah interview in 2021, where it was alleged an unnamed royal made comments about their then-unborn son’s skin color.

The Sussexes moved to California after stepping back as senior royals in 2020.

They were asked this year to leave their British home, Frogmore Cottage in Windsor, in a decision approved by the king.

Harry is also currently taking legal action, along with others, against the publisher of the Daily Mail in a confidentiality case at the High Court.

He made a surprise appearance at a hearing in London last month.
