Attracting with incentives: Charles wants to see Harry and Meghan at the coronation

In May, King Charles III. to be crowned. It is still unclear whether Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan will attend the ceremony. But apparently Charles wants the two to come and therefore makes concessions. In addition, an archbishop should reconcile Princes William and Harry beforehand.

In return for their coming, the monarch is reportedly open to offering them a place of honor in the church or an informal assurance that Harry can keep his title, sources told Mail on Sunday.
