When Prince Harry was asked if he would be attending King Charles' Coronation during an interview at the start of the year, he said the ball was in the Royal Family's court.
He said conversations needed to take place, and it was later reported that he made a number of demands to his father if the new Monarch wanted him and Meghan Markle to join the congregation at Westminster Abbey on May 6.
Last week Harry and Meghan finally confirmed their decision - with the prince set to return to the UK for a flying visit to join his family for what's likely to be an awkward reunion. But Meghan has declined her invitation, choosing to stay in the US with the couple's children - Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet - who were excluded from Charles' ceremony plans.
