After months of speculation, it has finally been confirmed that Prince Harry will be attending the Coronation of his father King Charles next month.
It has been announced that Harry will be at Westminster Abbey for the ceremony on May 6 but his wife Meghan Markle will remain at home in California with their children Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.
Harry, who laid bare his troubled relationship with the royal family in his controversial Netflix documentary and autobiography Spare, will be alongside other family members including his estranged brother Prince William and wife Kate as well as Queen Consort Camilla on the big day.
Both Buckingham Palace and Archewell announced Harry and Meghan's Coronation plans earlier today in almost near identical statements, released around the same time.
However, the statement put out by Archewell appears to be missing one key phrase that the Palace has included in their comment - and it is very telling.
The Archewell statement read: "The Duke of Sussex will attend the coronation service at Westminster Abbey on May 6th. The Duchess of Sussex will remain in California with Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet."
While Buckingham Palace said: "Buckingham Palace is pleased to confirm that the Duke of Sussex will attend the Coronation Service at Westminster Abbey on 6th May.
"The Duchess of Sussex will remain in California with Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet."
This means that tellingly, Archewell did not say it was "pleased to confirm" Harry's plans, unlike the Palace.
It is said Archie's birthday has played a factor in the decision for Meghan to remain at home with her children - and it is expected Harry will make a whistle stop trip to the UK for the big event.
It is reported that Archie and Lilibet were not formally invited to the event as organisers were waiting to hear if they would make the trip to the UK before devising any plans.
Meanwhile, sources told The Telegraph that Harry "would always regret it" if he didn't attend the Coronation and wanted to be there on the "biggest day" of his father's life.
Another friend told the publication Meghan considers her future to be in the US, with it also reported her appearance at the Coronation risked "overshadowing the event".
The report also adds that Harry and Meghan were understood to be "concerned" about their reception by the British public.
Harry's attendance will see him appear in a public setting with Charles, Camilla, William, Kate and the rest of his family for the first time since he lambasted the royals in his memoirs.
It will also be the first time he has been pictured with the Windsors since the funeral of his grandmother the late Queen.
Harry criticised Charles' parenting, said the King was jealous of Meghan and Kate, and accused William of physically attacking him in his tell-all book, which was published in January.
He also branded Camilla "dangerous" and accused her of sacrificing him on her own "personal PR altar".
