Prince Harry and Meghan Markle still received invitations to their coronation after being "driven out of their homes" by King Charles III, and although it was reported that they could continue to live in Frogmore Cottage while attending the ceremony, their spokesperson said it was not yet certain whether they would want to go. As for the reason, of course, it has little to do with the Frogmore cottage, but whether it will be welcomed by the public after going, is the focus of their concern. According to the British media "Daily Star" reported on March 6, the Sussex couple is still negotiating with Buckingham Palace about participating in the coronation, and the focus of their talks is mainly on the public's reaction.
Royal expert Kinsey Schofield said Harry and Meghan were worried that they would be opposed by royal fans at their coronation, and while they also wanted to "be noble, gracious and tolerant", they might instead be labeled "hypocritical".
Schofield further said, "There may be a negative reaction from the public... And Meghan's biggest insecurity is rejection, she doesn't want to put herself in such a situation", "Booed and scolded by the public on the global stage? It's a shame for her!"
But at the same time, the expert stressed that they were also very uneasy about the unpredictable public reaction to the Sussexes' presence at the celebration, but that being close to the royal family could skyrocket their commercial value, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
In this way, perhaps under the final weighing consideration, Harry and Meghan will still "bear the burden of humiliation" to move forward, after all, after passing this village, there is no such store.
And the Sussexes' concerns are justified. According to a recent poll in the UK, a majority of Britons supported Charles' ousting of Harry and Meghan, with a third of them believing that the King's decision was "very fair" and 49% even believing that the King should have made the decision earlier.
More than half of respondents said they would do the same, while 40% thought that Queen Elizabeth II would have kicked Harry and Meghan out while she was alive.
In the 1,000-person survey, 44% also believed that Meghan was responsible for King Charles's decision, and another 60% believed that Harry and Meghan would use the opportunity to win public sympathy.
All in all, it can be seen that Harry and Meghan are not taken seriously in the UK, and it is no wonder that a spokesperson for the above investigative agency commented that "Harry and Meghan's relationship with the British public is as tense as their relationship with the royal family." ”
But no matter what, Charles will always be Harry's father, and since his son and daughter-in-law are willing to come to his coronation, he will not ignore it, and the seats and houses will definitely be arranged for them, but the "century reconciliation" with them is basically impossible. As royal watcher Gertrude Daly has said, it may be just a transactional appearance for both sides, and Charles will try to avoid the embarrassment of his son not attending his coronation, but he will not do everything for Harry and Meghan, after all, he has long accepted the reality of their departure, "without them, the monarchy continues".
Gertrude also said that Buckingham Palace is obliged to invite the Sussex couple just like other royals, but whether the couple attends or not, Buckingham Palace will plan to respond, even if only for Prince Harry's brief appearance.
Harry also talked about his relationship with the royal family at this stage in a live chat with doctor Dr. Gabor on March 4, saying that the burden on his shoulders has eased since he and his wife left the royal family, but his relationship with his relatives has become increasingly estranged, and there is little common language with them.
But royal expert Schofield showed no sympathy for this, and he even suggested that the Sussexes should give up the royal title. Indeed, Harry and Meghan are really scoffing at the same time refusing to take on royal duties while making money with royal titles.
