Prince Harry will officially attend King Charles III’s coronation, after months of uncertainty, in what appears to be a step forward for the father and son’s relationship.
On Saturday, May 6, 2023, King Charles III will officially be crowned in Westminster Abbey in London in a service that will be conducted by the Archbishop of Canterbury. The coronation will be attended by Prince William, Kate Middleton, and the Wales children, as well as members of royal families from around the globe.
Prince Harry will be in attendance after he previously stepped down from senior royal duties and published his tell-all memoir Spare, causing a major rift between himself and his family.
Things seem to be looking up however between the King and his second son, as the two have reportedly engaged in some “positive conversations.”

Discussions over Harry’s role, where he will sit, and security arrangements for the upcoming coronation have reportedly been like “transatlantic ping pong,” LBC reports.
Some reports have claimed he will take a back seat on the day, so as not to distract from the coronation. However, one royal expert believes this will not be the case.
Robert Jobson, author of Our King Charles III: The Man and the Monarch Revealed, said in an interview: “I don’t think he’ll be in ‘the cheap seats’, no. If you’re a mum or a dad, we know that we all love our kids equally whoever they are, wherever they’ve dumped you.”
Jobson added that Charles “refers to his son Harry as my darling boy and has done that all the way.”
