Thelife- King Charles's coronation is currently set to take place on May 6, 2023 at Westminster Abbey.
- It's unclear if Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are attending, following their Netflix docuseries.
The coronation of King Charles III is expected to be somewhat of a small, intimate affair but Prince Harry and Meghan Markle still could make it on the guest list, the Daily Telegraph reported.
Following the death of Queen Elizabeth II in September, attention turned to the future and with that, Charles's coronation. Just as there have been reports about his plans to "slim down" the British monarchy, there were reports that the coronation would be smaller and more low-key than that of the late Queen.
At the time, the Mail on Sunday reported palace insiders were planning an event that will strip back much of the pomp and fanfare coronations in British history have previously seen to reflect modern times. This included a dramatically smaller guest list, cutting the number of those invited compared to the last coronation from 8,000 to just 2,000.
But while the guest list may be whittled down, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex will be getting an invite. According to the Daily Telegraph, the couple will be allowed to attend the historic occasion held at Westminster Abbey on May 6, should they wish to.
Representatives for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex and Buckingham Palace did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment.
Should Harry and Meghan attend Charles's coronation, it will come after the couple opened up about their relationship with the royal family in their Netflix docuseries "Harry & Meghan."
Half of the Netflix series, which was co-produced by Harry and Meghan's company Archewell Productions, aired on December 8 and a further three episodes were released Thursday. While the docuseries covers the couple's romance and new life, it also details the breakdown of their relationship with several members of the royal family.
Surprising moments in the series include when Meghan said the couple offered to move to Canada for the benefit of the royal family in 2019 and when Harry claimed Prince William "screamed" at him during a crisis meeting about his future within the royal institution in January 2020.
