As Prince Harry is at the High Court in London for the phone-tapping and privacy case, one would assume that now might be the opportune time to see his brother, Prince William and King Charles 111 ahead of the coronation in May. It is reportedly the first time he is back in the UK since the funeral of his late grandmother, Queen Elizabeth 11, in September of last year. 

However, despite Prince Harry expecting to stay in the UK for the hearing which is reportedly going to take four days, there seem to be no plans for a meeting between himself, Prince William and his father, King Charles.

According to The Independent, “Buckingham Palace said the King was not in Windsor or London and would be leaving for a state visit to Germany on Wednesday morning. Harry is also unlikely to be meeting up with William. The Prince and Princess of Wales and their children Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis are not currently in Windsor because of the youngsters’ school Easter holidays.”

With no meetings planned ‘to clear the air’ between Prince Harry and his brother and father, could this be an indication that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are now not set to attend the coronation? After all, the couple reportedly have a lot of special requests that they want to be actioned if they were to fly over from the US for the ceremony.

Another scenario that might play out for the coronation is that Prince Harry might attend without Meghan Markle and his children (like he has done for the court case).

If he was to do this, he could be in out and of the UK in a very short period of time.

Although it does look unlikely presently that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle will attend the coronation, there might be potentially be another scenario.

King Charles, Prince William and Prince Harry may still be ‘meeting up’ but want to do this in a private a way as possible. 

Without Meghan Markle by his side, this might be an opportunity for the King and his two sons to ‘thrash things out’ before any decision is finally made over whether Prince Harry and his wife will attend the coronation.
