Meghan and Harry to get coronation invite despite warning they’re ‘destructive’
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are set to receive an invite to King Charles III's coronation next year – despite their difficult relationship with other members of the royal family.
Charles' coronation is set to take place on May 6 of next year in Westminster Abbey in front of an audience of 2,000 invitees, with the Sussexes expected to be included – but one royal expert is unsure why.
Royal commentator and journalist Kinsey Schofield said: "Harry and Meghan will be invited.

"Somehow they keep getting invitations despite their destructive behaviour."
It's no secret that there has long been a divide between the Duke and Duchess of Sussex and their royal relatives.
The pair stepped down as working royals in January 2020 and moved to the US shortly afterward, and a swathe of bombshell interviews and brutal claims against the Palace have only served to drive a wedge further between Harry and Meghan and the Firm.

In September the pair were even 'demoted' on the royal family's official website and now sit at the bottom of the list alongside Andrew, having previously hovered around the middle of the roster.
The pair attended two royal engagements this year – Queen Elizabeth II's Platinum Jubilee in June and the late monarch's state funeral last month (September 19).
The date of King Charles' coronation was announced on Tuesday evening (October 11) and is expected to be a more conservative affair than his mother's coronation back in 1953 – but will still retain a good amount of pomp and splendour.
Making the announcement, the Palace said: "Buckingham Palace is pleased to announce that the coronation of His Majesty The King will take place on Saturday, May 6 2023.

"The coronation ceremony will take place at Westminster Abbey, London, and will be conducted by the Archbishop of Canterbury.
"The ceremony will see His Majesty King Charles III crowned alongside the Queen Consort.
"The coronation will reflect the monarch's role today and look towards the future, while being rooted in longstanding traditions and pageantry."
However, the chosen date is not without controversy as the ceremony will coincide with Archie's fourth birthday in what some speculate may be a further snub aimed at the Sussexes.
Brits are also not best pleased about the coronation as it looks like there won't be a Bank Holiday in celebration of the event.
