King Charles extends an olive branch to Harry and Meghan promising to invite them to their coronation

King Charles has extended an olive branch to Harry and Meghan as he promised they will be invited to his coronation, despite the fallout from his explosive Netflix documentary.

Although official invitations for next year’s historic event have yet to be sent out, several well-placed sources told the Daily Mail that Charles graciously extended an olive branch to his son and daughter-in-law and told them they would be welcome.

It is understood that his viewpoint has not changed despite the most recent attacks the couple leveled at him and other family members as part of their multi-million dollar deal with the streaming giant.

Calls have risen for the Sussexes to be stripped of their titles after the release of their Netflix series that harshly criticized the royal family, but the Firm wants to retain the ‘dignity’ of silence and not have an ongoing battle of who gets the ‘last word’

Royal biographer Sally Bedell Smith said that Harry “inadvertently gave his father an opportunity” to strip him and his wife of the titles.

Sussex titles could disappear. It’s a matter of figuring out how to do it better,” she told the Timesadding that the King “certainly had a right to do so”.

She said it would be similar to how the royal family name was changed from Saxe-Coburg-Gotha to Windsor during World War I.

Working members of the royal family reportedly want to continue their public engagements despite public criticism and do not wish to comment further, sources told the Telegraph.

Charles and Camilla plan to throw the biggest royal Christmas event in five years, and the Sussexes are unlikely to attend.

While Camilla’s children and royals from Prince Andrew to Mike Tindall will be there, Harry and Meghan will be across the Atlantic, the Sun reports.

The royals of the so-called ‘loyal family’ have been invited to spend Christmas at Sandringham with the King.

Plans for the dazzling Coronation, which will reflect historical tradition with Carlos’ desire for a modern ceremony that represents a smaller monarchy, are advancing apace. The Mail has learned that the King and Queen Consort recently visited Westminster Abbey as part of an extensive recognition event.

St Edward’s crown has already been removed from the Tower of London to be resized.

And it is understood that the queen consort, who will be at her husband’s side, has also chosen her crown. Which one hasn’t been confirmed, but the smart money is in the State Diadem, mostly recently worn by Queen Elizabeth II to and from the State Opening of Parliament.

The Mail revealed earlier this year that there were concerns about the use of the Queen Mother’s Crown as previously planned due to controversy over the famous 105-carat Koh-I-Noor diamond, although the gem could be removed.

In this week’s Netflix finale, Harry accused his father of lying when they sat down to discuss the details of his and Meghan’s future at the so-called Sandringham Summit in January 2020.

He said it was “terrifying to have my brother yell and yell at me and my father say things that just weren’t true and my grandmother sit there quietly and take it all in.”

The embittered prince also made wild claims about the royals’ determination to bring Meghan down after they became jealous of her popularity by publishing negative stories about her in the media.

She said someone who “married” into the royal family was expected to play a supporting role, using her late mother as an example, and that tensions arose when it became clear Meghan was “stealing the limelight” or doing the job better. than the person who was born to do this’.

Buckingham Palace has refused to comment on the large number of unsubstantiated allegations.

And it is understood that with just over five months to go before his coronation at Westminster Abbey on May 6, the King is determined not to be distracted by family drama.

A source said: ‘Harry is her son and Her Majesty will always love him. Although things are difficult right now, the door will always be ajar.

Another source said they thought it was “unlikely” the invitation would be rescinded even if Harry made more harrowing allegations in his memoir next month.

Palace officials are said to fear the publication of the tell-all book, Spare, which is expected to make further claims about Harry’s childhood and his treatment of him by the royal family.

Some believe the couple would be “completely hypocritical” to appear at the Coronation, considering the pain they have inflicted on the family, particularly over allegations of racism and lack of support.

“It would be completely hypocritical, but not entirely surprising if they did, let’s say,” a source commented.

The Palace declined to comment, saying the guest list for the Coronation had not yet been compiled.

In last week’s three episodes of Harry & Meghan on Netflix, the 38-year-old prince all but erased his father from his life and even hurtfully suggested he was raised by alternative families in Africa and the military.

While Charles wasn’t always a hands-on father and struggled to balance the demands of a family with his official royal role, friends say it would be wrong to paint him as uncaring.

“I know there have been talks about her attending the Coronation and while there are many potential dangers between now and then, I don’t see Her Majesty’s attitude changing,” another source suggested.

Whether the Sussexes decide to attend is another matter.
