Brits do want Prince Harry to come to the King’s coronation – but would prefer Meghan and Prince Andrew stayed away.
A poll for MailOnline has found support for Charles inviting the Sussexes to the ceremony on May 6, with 47 per cent in favour and 36 per cent opposed.
The Redfield & Wilton Strategies survey suggested people would like to see Harry at the event, although the margin was only 38 per cent to 36 per cent.
However, the picture was less positive for his wife, with 43 per cent saying she should give it a miss against 33 per cent backing her attendance.
For Andrew, just 26 per cent endorsed him being there, with 41 per cent against – including 26 per cent who felt strongly on the issue.
