Prince Harry WON'T join King Charles and Queen Consort on Buckingham Palace ... trends now

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex and the Duke of York are 'unlikely' to join the King and Queen Consort on the balcony during the Coronation, The Mail on Sunday understands.

Last night Buckingham Palace confirmed that the newly crowned King and Queen will appear at Buckingham Palace after the ceremony in May.

As with the late Queen's Platinum Jubilee last year, the line-up of Royals alongside them will be restricted to working members of the family. That will exclude Prince Harry, Meghan and Prince Andrew, who no longer carry out official duties.

Prince Andrew stepped down from his official role after allegations of sexual abuse in November 2019. He has always denied the accusations.

Sources have said that Prince Harry will not be making a public appearance on the balcony if he and wife Meghan attend the coronation in May

Harry and Meghan quit their roles three years ago when they left Britain to start a new life in California.

Earlier this month, Harry released a tell-all book revealing past and present grievances against his family. In a television interview to promote his memoirs, he refused to confirm whether he would attend the Coronation even if he was invited.

There is no indication from Buckingham Palace that Harry and Meghan would be barred from attending the event on May 6, which falls on the fourth birthday of their son Archie.

Yet even if the couple do attend, a senior Royal insider said that it would be 'unlikely' that they would be included in major public appearances, including the balcony moment.

After the release of Prince Harry's explosive memoir Spare, some royal experts said that it seemed impossible for the couple to be able to attend.

It followed claims from the Duke that his brother had once physically attacked him and pushed him into a dog bowl, and that he and his wife's press team leaked negative stories to the UK media about them.

Buckingham Palace has not commented on the claims.

But contrary to initial analysis, there is now discussion of 'peace talks' between the brothers and their father prior to the coronation which, all going well, could pave the way to them attending the event itself.

Prince Harry has since demanded an apology from his family for the way they treated Meghan, after alleging in his memoir that they 'stereotyped' her due to her being an American actress. 

It comes after a furious row
