Prince William is unlikely to "even look" in Prince Harry's direction at King Charles' Coronation, a royal commentator has claimed. It has been confirmed that Harry, 38, will be attending his father's big day on 6 May in London, but his wife Meghan Markle, 41, will remain in California with the couple's two children, Archie, three, and Lilibet, one.

The Coronation of King Charles III and Camilla, Queen Consort will be "less impactful" than the late Queen Elizabeth's, a royal expert has said. Some noticeable changes have already been confirmed for the King's Coronation on May 6 including a smaller guest list and a shorter procession, with the newly crowned Charles and Queen Consort only riding in the traditional Gold State Coach one way in a break in tradition.

Charles is not inviting his former sister-in-law the Duchess of York to his coronation, The Independent has learnt. Sarah Ferguson, who still lives with Prince Andrew and is very close to him even though they divorced in 1996, will have to watch the 6 May celebrations at Westminster Abbey on TV. The news follows the Duchess of Sussex’s decision to miss the coronation by staying at her home in California with Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet while Prince Harry attends alone.

The procession route for the Coronation of King Charles III and Camilla, Queen Consort will be much shorter than the late Queen Elizabeth's, with a royal exporting saying this could be due to "costs" and security". King Charles and The Queen Consort's procession route will be just 1.3 miles - around a quarter of the length of the late Queen's.

Sarah Ferguson has not received an invite from King Charles to attend his Coronation on May 6, it has been reported.

King Charles and Queen Consort Camilla are a "very strong couple" but he "relies on wife for confidence," a body language expert has claimed. Charles, 74, and Camilla, 75, have a long-lasting love that spans decades, but the pair didn't marry until 2005, as Charles was previously wed to the late Princess Diana, the mother of Prince William and Prince Harry. Camilla has long been regarded as a pillar of strength for her husband, especially now that he is King, following the death of his mother, the late Queen Elizabeth in September last year.

Prince George has been given a major role in his grandfather King Charles' Coronation and will be carrying his "heavy robe", a royal expert has shared.The Coronation of King Charles and Camilla, Queen Consort is just weeks away taking place at Westminster Abbey on May 6 with nine year old Prince George securing a very special role on the day. Second in line of succession to the throne, young George has been named as one of his grandfather's Page of Honours for the historic event.

After the dramatic statement announced by Buckingham Palace on Wednesday regarding Harry and Meghan’s attendance at the coronation, King Charles is said to be “very disappointed” that he won't be seeing Meghan or his grandchildren, but is “happy” that his son Harry will be there. Prince Harry, 38, will be travelling to the UK from his home in California where his wife Meghan, 41, will remain with son Archie, 3, and one year old daughter Lilibet.

Meghan Markle not attending King Charles III's coronation ceremony next month has brought a senes of «relief» to Prince William and Kate Middleton, according to royal expert Eloise Parker.«I think there's bound to be some relief from William and Kate that Meghan won't be attending the coronation simply because less emphasis is going to be on them, who's looking where, who's lip reading, what's going on between them,» Parker tells ET. «There's such a fever of interest in these relationships and the truth is we're never going to see a moment between these women.

With just over three weeks left to go until the Coronation of King Charles III, the glittering guest list is beginning to shape up nicely, with Prince Harry now officially confirmed to be attending the historic occasion. Buckingham Palace shared the news on Wednesday that the King’s youngest son would be attending the landmark occasion, although it also revealed that he would be attending alone, as his wife Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex had opted to stay at home with their two children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.

Buckingham Palace confirmed today that the Duke of Sussex will travel to the UK for King Charles' Coronation on May 6, while the Duchess of Sussex will stay in the US with the couple's two children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.The announcement comes after ongoing reports that the couple were delaying their response to officials who are working hard to organise the Coronation down to the last detail.The brief statement read: “Buckingham Palace is pleased to confirm that the Duke of Sussex will attend the Coronation Service at Westminster Abbey on 6th May.The Duchess of Sussex will remain in California with Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.” Following the confirmation, OK! spoke with royal expert Jennie Bond about the furore surrounding the couple's attendance at the ancient ceremony. Referring to reports that the couple were delaying offering a response about attending on May 6, Jennie said: "I think that by taking so long to reply to the invitation, Harry and Meghan have been very rude.

With the Coronation just around the corner, King Charles appears to be a "calmer person", according to body language expert Darren Stanton.The King and Queen Consort Camila, who will become 'Queen Camilia', will be Coronated on May 6 at Westminster Abbey.

Prince Harry has been confirmed to be attending his father King Charles III's Coronation next month. The Duke of Sussex, 38, will attend the King’s Coronation but the Duchess of Sussex, 41, will remain in California with Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, Buckingham Palace has announced. It comes after weeks of speculation surrounding whether the royal couple, who are now permanently based in California, would make an appearance at the historic event.

It was revealed earlier this year that the Queen Consort will be crowned alongside King Charles on May 6 at Westminster Abbey with Queen Mary's Crown, rather than have another Crown made from scratch.The palace said the decision had been made “in the interests of sustainability and efficiency.” The last time a consort's crown was reused was in the 18th century, when Queen Caroline, consort of King George II, wore Mary of Modena’s (wife of King James II's) crown. Even though the artefact is being re-used, there are two key ways that it is being altered to reflect Camilla's own personality - one of which pays a special tribute to the late Queen.

"Following the service, Kate was the first person to emerge from the church.

Prince William and wife Kate Middleton have impressed body language expert Darren Stanton with the way they've slid perfectly into royal life. Parents to sons George and Louis, and daughter Charlotte, the pair were most recently tangled up in Prince Harry's memoir revelations - he's now fully stepped away from The Firm and lives in California - yet their attendance for the Easter service at St George's Chapel last weekend seemingly suggested they're unfazed by such things. "Prince William and Kate Middleton's body language was extremely relaxed and carefree, as they attended the Easter service at St George's Chapel," reported Darren on behalf of Betfair Casino.

The Real Crown, Ex-Army General Sir Mike Jackson alleged that the monarch “was very clear” in her words, saying: “My grandsons have taken my shilling, therefore they must do their duty.” However, Jackson noted that because William, 41, was “heir to the throne, the risk is too great” for him to go to war.But as for Harry, 38, “the risk was acceptable” due to him being the younger — and the “Spare” — brother.Mark Cann, who was the director of the British Forces Foundation, appeared on the show and gave more insight into William’s desire to go to combat. “William was very keen to go.
