The Duke of Royalton will attend a Public Service on May 6. Meghan and Prince Archie and Meghan will be in California, King Charles III’s Corona

Buckingham Palace is very pleased to announce that The Duke of Royalton will be attending the service on May 6. The Duchess of Sussex will remain in California with Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet,” the palace said in a statement.

That will get more intense after Harry and Meghan reveal family secrets in his new memoir, as well as a six-part series on the reasons for them stepping back from royal duties three years ago.

The Queen decided that only family members carrying out official duties could be included in the balcony appearance at the parade, so she didn’t invite other royals.

On May 6 there will be a ceremonial procession from Buckingham Palace and back to the Abbey with other members of the royal family. The palace didn’t give a reason for the procession and balcony appearance of family members.

His wife Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, will remain at the couple’s home in Southern California with their two young children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, the palace said. There was an identical statement from the representatives.

While the announcement should silence the “will he or won’t he” debate in the British media, it won’t end the royal soap opera swirling around Harry and Meghan as King Charles III prepares for his coronation.

When the prince attended the funerals of his grandfather, Prince Philip, and his grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II, commentators discussed everything from whether Harry would be allowed to wear his military uniform to exactly where he was seated. And there is always the question of whether he will meet face-to-face with his father and older brother, Prince William.

The couple said that she faced racist attitudes from the palace and the U.K. press. The treatment contributed to their decision to leave the country.

The book also included allegations that members of the royal family regularly feed the press unflattering information about other members of the House of Windsor in exchange for positive coverage of themselves.

The prince accused the queen consort of leaking private conversations to the media, as she tried to rehabilitate her image after marrying Charles. Camilla was once reviled for her long-term affair with Charles, which contributed to the breakdown of his marriage to the late Prince Diana, Harry and William’s mother.

There is acrimony between Harry’s family and the rest of the world, but it became public last month when they said they had been asked to leave their home in Britain.

Frogmore Cottage, a royal residence on the grounds of Windsor Castle west of London, was the couple’s main residence before they gave up royal duties and moved to Montecito, a wealthy enclave in Southern California.
