King Charles III will be officially crowned in the coronation only three months, but the official rise to the place of the mother has taken overshadowed by her son!
As we have done, Prince Harry been hashing it out with estranged family members for months now. Release to all spare saw even more allegations levied against relatives, only made the rift worse. Although the family feud is more heated than ever, the royals have done their best to ignore all the drama. Just the day after spare hit the shelf, William, Princess Catherineand King Charles all appear in public – and dodged any mention of the book!

But it must be all royal blood boiling behind the scenes, right? I mean, Buckingham Palace preparing for one of the most historic events in decades. The last thing he wanted was to fight Harry at the same time!
To better understand what the royal authorities are doing, people spoke to several insiders on Wednesday who opened up about the fate of the family’s relationship and the upcoming coronation. For starters, one royal insider slammed the way the drama has disrupted the regal ceremony, complaining:
“It’s all very shocking. Although there is sadness because the Queen has died, the coronation should be a happy moment, because Charles will be crowned. But it is a big shadow.
Why no family member chose to speak out against the 38-year-old royal journalist. Valentine Low to outlet:
“They don’t want to blame the gaps and disputes. They know that whatever they say in a statement or summary will prolong it. They want to calm down as soon as possible. The longer it takes, the less hope there is for reconciliation.
Surprisingly, it wasn’t the new king who was the most angry – but Prince William! A close confidante of the royal household claimed:
“William is the saddest person and needs time to calm down.”
The Prince of Wales probably took one of the biggest beatings in his memoirs, so it makes sense why he would hold such a grudge!
But at the end of the day, it will be up to Charles and Harry. Discussions will be held to achieve some sort of reconciliation with the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, so stay tuned!
That said, one insider noted that there was a “fatigue” as a result of the brothers’ feud and realized that something (or someone) had to drive a wedge between the men. And it won’t be an easy task, especially considering how determined Harry is to apologize before opening up to the idea of reconciliation.
So, while some reports suggest a deal could be made to get the Cali native to the UK for the festivities, others aren’t so sure. A source close to Archwell founder confirmed that there was no move to amend and that Harry’s initial position on the matter had not changed. Bummer!

Sooo… Charles, Camilla, William, and Kate Middleton better apologize – otherwise we wouldn’t have seen this reunion happen! When addressing potential attendance at the coronation with ITV‘s Tom Bradby earlier this year, Harry explained:
“There’s a lot that can happen between now and then. But, you know, the door’s always open. The ball’s in his court. There’s a lot to talk about, and I hope he’s willing to sit down and talk about it.
As easy as it is to say, it’s going to be harder to achieve this kind of conversation, a source told the outlet:
“That’s the problem [the Sussexes] want to capitulate and ask for forgiveness by the palace, but when ‘remembering is different,’ it is quite difficult.
An insider close to the royal household appears hopeful that the ordeal will go ahead, largely because Charles wants his son to be there for the big moment, adding:
“This is an important event for Charles, and he wants his son to be at the coronation to witness it.”
They continued:
“They want Harry to return to the family. If they do not sort out, it will always be part of the government of the King and how it has left the family disjointed. He has a reputation as a distant parent, and it would be bad if he would continue.
Good grades. It will always be mentioned in the history of history – how one prince did not attend the coronation. It would be worse if they were never get along, right? So it’s better to just kick it in the bud now! If she and Harry could find a way to see eye to eye again, that is…
As for the royal historian Robert Laceyhe thinks all this talk of apologizing is bullshit, arguing:
“It’s almost insulting to ask, ‘When are they going to kiss and make up?’ There was some serious disagreement between them. But the Platinum Jubilee and the Queen’s funeral and Prince Philip demonstrating that he can put aside personal animosity for a greater cause. And this will be the coronation.
While both parties have managed to put aside their differences in the past, the coronation will be the first major event since Harry and Meghan. Netflix docuseries and tell-all out. It will be harder to forgive and forget after all that has been said, even if it is just to maintain a certain public perception. So, it is difficult to predict how this will play out! Mind? Do you think the royal family should be more open about their plans? Or is it better to keep quiet? Let us know (below).
