King's coronation: William and Harry's royal rift truce 'for another time'

All eyes of the world will be watching on May 6th, when King Charles officially hosts his coronation, however, it seems the day won’t be the big family reunion some fans might be wishing for.

It’s believed Prince William has no interest in using this opportunity to mend broken ties with his younger brother Prince Harry, instead choosing to focus on the day at hand.

Speaking to The Sun, Ingrid Seward, editor of Majesty Magazine, said the coronation won’t be a time for reconciliations and Prince William thinks it is 'for another time'.

She added that while Prince Harry’s trip is expected to be an extremely short one, it would be 'nice' for the 38-year-old to 'stick around and be friendly'.

It is understood that the royal will not be taking part in any formal proceedings during the celebration, and he plans to fly straight out after the ceremony.

The coronation is taking place on the same day as Prince Archie’s fourth birthday and it’s reported this is the reason Meghan Markle has decided to give the day a skip.

“Out of politeness you'd think Harry would want to mingle with his family no matter how difficult that might be for him,” she said.

According to The Sun, Harry and Charles put aside their differences to discuss the coronation in a phone call recently, with a “willingness and wanting to mend on both sides”.

This comes after royal commentator and author Omid Scobie shared his views about the decision made by Harry and Meghan.

He hinted that Archie’s fourth birthday lands on May 6, and this is possibly the driving force behind the royal couple’s choice.

“I understand that Archie’s fourth birthday (also on May 6) played a factor in the couple’s decision,” he tweeted. “Expect it to be a fairly quick trip to the UK for Prince Harry, who will only be attending the coronation ceremony at Westminster Abbey.”

Royal fans praised the family’s decision on Twitter, with many saying that it seemed to be the smartest option.

“Again, [Harry] showing a lot of diplomatic skills and maturity here because this is the best possible outcome,” one person pointed out.

“I’m so happy our good sister is staying home with her children, and also happy that Harry is going to support his father,” another added.
