Prince Harry & Meghan Markle Reportedly Demanding THIS Happens Or They Won't Attend Coronation!

Prince Harry & Meghan Markle Have A New Demand For Coronation: REPORT

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle aren’t making things easy for Buckingham Palace!

As we’ve been following, the palace has been working hard to prepare for King Charles III’s upcoming coronation in May… but the plans haven’t exactly included the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. While the pair was invited to attend the historic event (and Charles is said to want at least his youngest son in attendance), Harry and Meghan are not being factored into some of the biggest moments of the celebratory weekend — and they want this to change or else!

According to the latest from a source who chatted with OK! on Monday, the Sussexes have a few new demands they want to be addressed before they’ll consider RSVPing “yes” to the ceremony. For starters, they’d like their children Archie and Lilibet to be included on the special day. So far, just the parents were invited. While including the 3-year-old prince (who will turn 4 on the day of the coronation) and 1-year-old princess at the Westminster Abbey crowning has “never been a bone of contention” since the kiddos can’t attend such formal events “due to restlessness and tantrums,” it’s still important for the children to be welcomed in some fashion. Naturally, the Archewell founders have some suggestions.

They reportedly want their entire family to be invited to the Palace after the coronation — and they’d like Archie’s birthday to be publicly acknowledged! An insider said:

“What the Sussexes’ are pushing for is for them to be included with the rest of the family at the Palace later that day. It’s also Prince Archie’s birthday on Coronation day so they would like some kind of nod to that at a lunch or drinks reception. Even if it’s just a happy birthday mention.”

While it’s unclear exactly what the source means by “later that day,” it should be noted all working royals will be busy appearing in a carriage procession from Westminster Abbey to Buckingham Palace after the monarch’s crowning. As we previously reported, leaked plans for the event revealed Harry and Meghan would NOT be involved in the procession.

So, is this what they want to be added into with their kids? Or do they just want their entire family present at some sort of afterparty they might not otherwise be able to attend?? Suppose we’ll have to wait and see.

FWIW, Prince William and Princess Catherine’s kids Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and even Prince Louis will all be included in the procession — and Louis’ only 4! So if he’s old enough, surely Archie is too, right??

At this point, it’s unclear how The Firm will handle these latest requests, but it sounds like they are doing everything in their power to get the Sussexes to the UK in the spring, despite the new demands. The insider shared:

“The Palace are trying to wrap up negotiations as quickly as possible because they can’t go right up to the wire. It could lead to chaos. It could very well be that it ends in stalemate, and they won’t attend. But the Palace is doing everything in its power to not let that happen.”

The Sussexes and the rest of the royal family are going to have to come to an agreement ASAP or they’ll miss their chance for a reunion! Thoughts? Do you think Harry and Meghan’s demands are fair? Sound OFF (below)!
