The coronation of King Carlos III is fast approaching, and while most details of the ceremony have been kept under wraps, a few things have leaked.
One important thing we don’t know yet is the guest list. Prince Harry and Meghan Markle will most likely be invited, but they are supposed to leave their children, Archie and Lilibet, at home.
It has already been announced that the coronation of King Charles will last only one hour; by comparison, his mother’s was over three years old. However, even with a shorter time limit, the coronation ceremony will still be too much for a small child.
Archie will be only four years old on the day of the event. Many members of the royal family choose to keep their young children at home so as not to cause a scene at public events.
Prince William and Kate Middleton’s youngest son, Prince Louis, was memorably very bored at various Jubilee events this summer and even skipped some of the longer ceremonies.
King Charles attended his mother’s coronation when he was four, but as the heir to the throne, it made sense for him to be there. Archie is sixth in line and will likely never become a royal.
Lilibet will be almost two years old, the same age Princess Anne was when Queen Elizabeth was crowned. Anne did not attend the coronation or any of the related events, so it would make sense for Lilibet to stay home.
Archie and Lilibet’s young age aside, it also seems unlikely that Harry and Markle would want them at the ceremony. The couple is very vocal about their desire to keep their children out of the public eye and away from photographers.
For example, when the family traveled to the UK for the Platinum Jubilee, none of the children attended any public events with the rest of the royal family.
Lastly, coronation day, May 6, is also Archie’s fourth birthday. It doesn’t seem likely that his parents put him through a long day of official ceremonies and parties on his birthday.
The Sussexes have yet to confirm whether or not they’ll attend the coronation if they’re invited, but it’s pretty safe to assume their young children will stay home for the day.
