Prince Harry: Royal experts reveal the real reason why he is attending King Charles’ coronation

Prince Harry has finally made the decision to attend his father’s coronation. The Duke of Sussex will be attending the coronation alone without his wife Meghan Markle and kids Archie and Lilibet. It is understood that King Charles is ‘happy’ with his son’s decision and ‘understands’ that Meghan has to stay back with the kids, especially considering Prince Archie would turn four on the same day.

Prince Harry’s real reason to attend the coronation

According to MailOnline, a source has now revealed Prince Harry had a ‘heart-to-heart’ with his father before accepting his invitation to the coronation that will feature two crowns. The source added that there were weeks of negotiations similar to 'transatlantic ping pong' between Prince Harry and Buckingham Palace.

Reportedly, Prince Harry was curious to know what role he might have to play in the King's coronation, where he would be seated and the details about security arrangements. Despite the said negotiations, it has been claimed by a Royal insider that the real reason why Prince Harry is attending the coronation is because he wants to ‘show support for his father.’

King’s coronation - that will be the last public engagement for many senior royals - is said to be used as an opportunity to heal rifts by the monarch. The King wants to bring back family members from the cold -especially his younger son Prince Harry.

The source alleged that there’s a 'willingness and wanting to mend on both sides,' that is, Prince Harry and King Charles.

This comes after King Charles expressed his ‘pride’ in his two sons, reported Insider. In his speech at the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst on Friday, he said:

Speaking as a father of two alumni of this academy who remembers their passing out parades, I know they will be full of immense pride in witnessing you on parade.

However, it is still unknown whether these emotions extend to the ill-feelings between Prince Harry and William. The two are understood to have not spoken since the release of his tell-all memoir Spare. He referred to his elder brother as his ‘archnemesis’ and accused him of physically attacking him.
