King Charles has asked the Archbishop of Canterbury to persuade Prince Harry to attend his coronation, according to Mail on Sunday.
According to the newspaper, Princes William are opposed to King Charles’ idea of inviting the Duke and Duchess of Sussex because the Prince of Wales thinks his younger brother will steal the show.
The report says Prince William fears Harry could use the event to stage a ‘stunt’ that would overshadow the event.
Citing unnamed sources, the report says the King has asked Justin Welby to strike a deal between his sons to attend his coronation in May.
The report says Prince Harry could rest assured that his and his wife’s royal titles would not be stripped if he attended the event as part of the deal.
He added that Prince Harry could be guaranteed a high sitting position at the Abbey.
The newspaper reports that the royal family is upset and everything indicates that Harry is advised not to agree to anything at this stage and to play long until the last minute, which makes negotiations with him very difficult.
The report further states that the King believes Meghan and Harry’s absence would be a bigger distraction than their presence.
