Harry and Meghan 'expected' to attend Coronation - but it might not be together

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are now very much expected to attend King Charles' Coronation, according to the bookmakers.

It's still not known whether the Duke and Duchess of Sussex will be part of the congregation gathered inside Westminster Abbey on May 6 to see the new Monarch being crowned.

From being booted out of Frogmore Cottage to the allegations made in Spare and their Netflix docu-series, relations between the Sussexes and the rest of the Royal Family are at an all-time low.

And it's been reported that Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet have not been invited to the momentous day, so will have to watch it on TV along with millions around the world.

Despite the bad blood within the family, William Hill believe Harry and Meghan are very likely to be in attendance.

Even with recent controversies, the pair are 4/9 to attend the ceremony at Westminster Abbey and 11/4 not to make an appearance.

If either of the couple decided to attend solo, Harry would be the far more likely candidate, with the Duke a 5/1 chance to attend without his wife.

While Meghan to attend without Harry is an incredibly outside chance at an improbable 33/1.

William Hill Spokesperson, Lee Phelps, said: "While speculation surrounding the royal couple’s plans for May 6 has been rife, we now expect the Duke and Duchess of Sussex to attend the ceremony together at odds of 4/9.

"Should one of the pair choose not to attend, it seems most likely Meghan will be skipping the important date, with Harry to attend without Meghan at 5/1 and Meghan to attend without Harry deemed unlikely at 33/1."

Earlier this month insiders told the Mirror that Harry and Meghan were yet to make a decision about whether to attend the celebrations, which awkwardly falls on their son Archie's fourth birthday.

The couple have since confirmed they have been officially invited, with their spokesman saying: "I can confirm The Duke has recently received email correspondence from His Majesty's office regarding the coronation.

"An immediate decision on whether The Duke and Duchess will attend will not be disclosed by us at this time."

During an interview with Tom Bradby on ITV earlier this month, Harry was asked if he will come to the coronation if he is invited.

He said: "There's a lot that can happen between now and then. But, you know, the door is always open. The ball is in their court.

"There's a lot to be discussed and I really hope that they can - that they are willing to sit down and talk about it, because there's a lot that's happened in six years. And prior to that as well."

It's been a tense time for the Sussexes, as they were recently kicked out of the home which was gifted to them him by the late Queen Elizabeth II.

Harry and Meghan were reportedly 'shocked' at being told to leave Frogmore Cottage, while two other royals were said to have been left "appalled".

Sources said the King was outraged by a string of Harry's accusations in his controversial memoir Spare, in particular his attacks on his wife, Queen Camilla.

Royal sources have claimed Charles took decisive action immediately after being passed a dossier of findings by aides revealing details from the explosive book.

An insider said: "It was the last straw. Harry was well aware how Camilla would be a red line for his father and he crossed with flagrant disregard anyway.

"The King felt without a doubt it crossed a line – it was the ultimate act of disrespect."
