London: Prince Harry will attend his father’s coronation next month at Westminister Abbey but will travel to Britain without his wife Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex.

The pair’s attendance had been subject to weeks of speculation following a string of explosive television interviews and the release of Harry’s memoir Spare in early January, which deepened rifts in his family.

It was revealed earlier this month the pair had received an invitation to attend the traditional crowning ceremony, but all parties had remained silent on whether they would attend.

Buckingham Palace on Wednesday confirmed the duke would attend the service on May 6.

“The duchess of sussex will remain in California with Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet,” the Palace said.

Harry also attended Prince Philip’s funeral by himself in April 2021, while Meghan was pregnant with the couple’s second child. The King’s coronation is the same day as their son’s fourth birthday.

He is not expected to stand alongside the family on the Palace balcony as he is no longer a working royal.
