The Telegraph reported last month that members of foreign royal families were “expected to be invited to the ceremony in an historic break with tradition.” According to the outlet, “Convention dating back centuries stated that a coronation should be a sacred ceremony between a monarch and their people in the presence of God,” but the King was “set to do away with the tradition and invite his counterparts from around the world.”
Buckingham Palace confirmed on April 12 that Charles’ son Prince Harry will attend the coronation without Meghan Markle . The Duchess of Sussex will stay behind in California with the couple’s children, Princess Lilibet and Prince Archie, who will turn four the day his paternal grandfather is crowned at Westminster Abbey.
