I just saw that Harry is going to the coronation without Meghan. This surprises me. But good for her.

This surprises me. But good for her. Same. I honestly thought they would show a United front but she is probably just so done with it all she doesn’t care I just had a conversation today where I said the same thing about my in laws so I get it

(Racist reasons) Which is probably why I relate so hard to M&H. Harry going is nice, DH refuses to go unless he knows his parents won't be there. I'm sure Meghan is just avoiding the "she made him stay away from his father's coronation" (which I've heard is what the family is saying about me) but also like, why put myself and my children through that.

I think Meghan is over it at this point and I wouldn't want to fly overseas with two young children for this.

There have been some family events with my in-laws where I’ve told my H he’s welcome to go, but the kids and I aren’t going. Totally get it, Meghan.

I would have liked to see the Sussex family attend together (or not) as a united front. I understand why H is going and I don't hold anything against M for not wanting to attend after how she was treated. Plus I know the logistics of attending with their young children would be difficult. It would have been nice to see H&M's whole family represented at the coronation and in its place in history.

And Willy hates him. So what is the point?

Sorry but I think it makes Harry look wishy-washy. Agree. I’m also an asshole because if someone planned something major like that on my kid’s birthday Id be mad and not go out of principle.

I think H was always going to go, regardless of what he’s said in the past. I think they were trying to figure out about M going.

I’m not surprised in the slightest that Harry is going to the coronation because he has never denied still believing in the institution of the monarchy, despite his personal grievances with his family, which, on some level, for him and anyone in that family, are very different things. So agree with it or not, I see his position here as unchanged. Him believing in the idea of a monarchy makes going to his father's coronation a no-brainer for me. I think the monarchy should have been abolished centuries ago, but I don't see that happening in our lifetimes. But Harry feels differently and I think it's that reason he is going and less about Charles as his father.

I'm enjoying the mental gymnastics of the excuse-making for it falling on Archie's birthday. He's turning four, he won't know or care, etc. They can't work around all birthdays - they really have a handful to work around. I think they did realize and DNGAF. Just as I suspect 4/23 or 5/2 could have been suggested only for them to nix it because those are Louis and Charlotte's birthdays, respectively.

And they're going to treat him like shit and he's going to be sad and shocked and then he's going to put THAT in a book ( swellist) and so on and so on. I'd have more respect for him if he'd just said fuck it after the funeral.

I know I’m in the minority but I just don’t think it’s that big of a deal that the best date for the coronation is Archie’s birthday. There’s a billion other factors, organizations, etc at play on an international scale and at the end of the day, people adjust individual birthday/anniversary/etc celebrations all of the time.

I don’t think there is a big deal either but I do believe the avoided certain days/ birthdays for the working royals which again makes sense since they are pretty much required

His grandparents are gone and while he may believe in the monarch he can do that from afar.

And Willy hates him. So what is the point? My jaded viewpoint - so he can stay relevant and keep the drama alive. I’m not surprised necessarily, but lobbing a metaphorical grenade at your family (however much they may have deserved it) and then showing up at a huge family celebration is quite the choice. I’d just throw up the middle fingers and Scrooge McDuck dive into the “Spare” money.

I haven’t finished reading the thread but some journalist who dissects media coverage of the royals did a video on how all the pictures from the Easter service in the papers featured Kate and not Charles and Camilla and she said make my words we will see an influx of petty Kate/ Kate in a negative light articles.
