Is this the best outcome?

Those that saw her as unwelcome, unwanted and wished she'd go away permanently. Are now complaining that she's done that.

It’s my impression from reading this thread that most Gransnetters at least, either don’t want Meghan there or don’t care whether she comes or not. I don’t anyone’s complained that’s she’s not coming. I don’t know about the rest of the country.

Oh dear god. Leave them alone.

Ah c’mon volver3 you love it….otherwise you’d just ignore any threads with H & M’s names in the title.

They are getting what they work so hard for, front pages of tabloids and news coverage.

Thanks Jaberwok

Only Prince William is swearing fealty to the King. In the past all the royal dukes had to do this,but not this time. Not sure the poor old Duke of Kent would manage it bearing in mind his age and obvious frailty. Being royalists I and family will certainly be watching.

Let's face it, no matter what they decided they would be criticised. Both come - Meghan would be accused of trying to grab all the attention away from Catherine (some news outlets have invented a hatred between them), only Harry comes - Meghan accused of "boycotting" the family or that she and Harry are having marital problems, both stay away - accused of boycotting his father on an important day in his life. Personally, I don't care and won't be watching!

Don't shout at me but I did wonder when the date of the Coronation was first announced whether it had been chosen because it is Archie's birthday, therefore giving H&M an excuse not to come.

If they hadn't gone to war with lies, about H family, then they would both have been able to travel with children, perhaps a celebration later.
Would have preferred he stay at home also.

Well said paddyann54

PinkCosmos Thu 13-Apr-23 09:09:34

I am probably wrong but, I get the feeling that Meghan is trying to distance herself publicly from Harry since the release of his book and the Netflix documentary.

I recall her saying that they were like salt and pepper and always together. This doesn't seem to be the case any longer.

volver3 Thu 13-Apr-23 08:30:31

Don't all the dukes have to come and swear obeisance or something?

Spectre at the feast. At least it won't be a double act. I'm surprised his presence is being tolerated after the poison he's been relentlessly dripping onto his family.

I bet it’s only Charles who wants him there, nobody else.
Meghan was never going to come here, she wouldn’t risk being booed by the crowds.

Calendargirl Thu 13-Apr-23 07:06:33

Seeing as it’s Archie’s birthday the same day, I’m sure some select photos of that event will appear at the same time, as the Sussexes are noted for certain ‘private’ events to hit the headlines when they deem it appropriate.

And I expect Harry’s visit will be brief, as he won’t want to miss too much of the birthday celebrations.

That will be the main reason supplied as to why Meghan hasn’t come, no doubt.

The best outcome of an awful situation, he can sit next to Andrew in the pariahs corner, with luck they will both keep their mouths shut

Casdon Thu 13-Apr-23 06:45:10

Let’s hope the media stay off Harry’s case. The coronation isn’t about him, so there’s no need to pay him any more attention than any other royal attendee.

Aveline Thu 13-Apr-23 06:09:25

She would have been at the centre of a media frenzy! No matter how she behaved it would have been wrong. Yes Harry should come, attend coronation, scowl and leave asap. Lots more for him to complain about and sell the story

nanna8 Thu 13-Apr-23 01:30:04

Of course he should come to his Dad’s coronation but he is just a guest and his wife has to stay home and be with her kids. No biggie. She wouldn’t have been the centre of attention anyway, so why bother ?

Sounds like it will be a very quick visit.

Fly over, attend the ceremony, scowl, fly home again.

Done job!

grin Brilliant merlot!

They were hung drawn and quartered by the media before they said a single word

It's really awful

I can see so many on here seated at a guillotine knitting and gossiping .I would have thought some of you were better than that but it appears not.
Whatever this couple have done it doesn't affect any of your lives and his reasons are for him to understand and deal with .
I'm not in any way a monarchist or a "fan" of royalty and I'd stand up for the right of any one who feels mistreated by family to have their say ...even publicly if that was how it needed to be .

Perfectly put.

He'll have a better profile in the States if he attends,, I'm sure he and Megan have their own agenda

Nanatoone Wed 12-Apr-23 22:03:51

I’m glad she isn’t coming but would have preferred him to stay away. Disloyalty is something I cannot tolerate, especially towards your parents (assuming they didn’t abuse you naturally). The pettiness of most of what has been said by Harry and his wife is beyond belief.
