The official date for the coronation of King Charles has been set for May 6, 2023. The date also holds significance for the royal family, as it's Prince Harry's son Archie's fourth birthday.
While some might think the date choice is more than coincidental and even possibly indicates that Buckingham Palace didn't even think of a potential conflict, royal author Katie Nicholl is insisting that this isn't the case.
Katie explained, "Well, having the coronation on Archie's birthday is definitely not a snub. I think it’s very much a happy coincidence. Obviously, a huge amount of planning has to go into an important moment in history, such as a coronation, and the royal calendar is full of anniversaries and birthdays, so I think this is absolutely one of those occasions where it’s a coincidence and hopefully a happy coincidence."
However, it's unclear if Harry and Meghan will attend the coronation. Katie added, "We haven’t got any official details on the guest list, but I’m hearing they are likely to be invited along with other senior and extended family members. Whether or not we see them there — we have to wait and see, but it’s my understanding they will be, of course, receiving an invitation to the coronation."
She continued, "It remains to be seen whether or not they attend, but, of course, it will be down to the Sussexes to make the ultimate decision as to whether they're going to come over for King Charles' coronation on May the 6th."
