In just a few weeks, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s brand are set for a major boost, as Prince Harry confirmed his attendance at King Charles’s Coronation.
While the Duke of Sussex will attend the landmark event, Meghan Markle will remain in California, and their children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, will also stay behind with their mother.
This announcement ended months of speculation surrounding the couple’s attendance at the event.

A source at Netflix told the MailOnline that Prince Harry’s proximity to the King is essential for the couple’s brand strength.
The source stated that Prince Harry’s decision to attend the Coronation was a sigh of relief for those involved in the business.
They said, “At the end of the day, it is all about proximity to the King.”
Potential Tension Between Camilla and Prince Harry
According to a royal commentator on GB News, there may be tension between Prince Harry and King Charles’s wife, Camilla, during the ceremony.
Prince Harry previously launched several attacks on Camilla in his autobiography, Spare.
Jennie Bond, the commentator, stated that Prince Harry’s visit would be quick and possibly awkward.
Although both parties would be courteous, it would not be an easy weekend.
Quick Visit and an Awkward One
Jennie Bond suggested that Prince Harry might fly straight out after the ceremony and return to California to celebrate Prince Archie’s fourth birthday.
She also stated that Prince Harry would not attend the lunch afterward, and it was unlikely he would change his mind.
The commentator added that she believed Prince Harry would head straight back to California within a few hours of the ceremony.
