Prince Harry Will Not Commit To King Charles’ Coronation

“But, the door is always open,” the 38-year-old continued. “The ball is in their court. There’s a lot to be discussed and I really hope that they’re willing to sit down and talk about it.”

Prince Harry was given the chance to verbally commit to attending King Charles III’s coronation in May — but the duke refused.

“There’s a lot that can happen between now and then,” the former military pilot told Tom Bradby in Thursday’s trailer for his upcoming ITV interview.

“But, the door is always open,” the 38-year-old continued. “The ball is in their court. There’s a lot to be discussed and I really hope that they’re willing to sit down and talk about it.”

In the candid conversation, which will air on Jan. 8 ahead of Harry’s memoir “Spare” hitting shelves, the royal defended writing the tell-all.

“Ball is in their court,” the duke said in his ITV interview trailer.

“I don’t know how staying silent is ever going to make things better,” the Duke of Sussex said, adding that critics “don’t understand” his motives.

Throughout the video, Harry confirms that “yes,” he still believes in the monarchy, but he is unsure whether he will “play a role in its future.”

Harry and his wife, Meghan Markle, stepped down from royal duties in January 2020 and announced their retirement in February of the following year.

The coronation is scheduled for May 6.

Since then, the couple has spoken out against the royal family in a March 2021 interview with Oprah Winfrey, as well as a Netflix docuseries, “Harry & Meghan,” which aired last month.

“Spare” will be released on Jan. 10 and has been pitched by publisher Penguin Random House as a “remarkably personal and emotionally powerful story.”

King Charles has reportedly invited Prince Harry.

On Wednesday, excerpts from the memoir were leaked, with The Guardian obtaining one passage that described an alleged physical altercation between Harry and Prince William over Markle.

“He grabbed me by the collar, ripping my necklace, and he knocked me to the floor,” the younger sibling writes of the 2019 incident, claiming that he “landed on the dog’s bowl, which cracked under” his back and cut into him.

Harry’s memoir, “Spare,” hits shelves next week.

According to sources, Harry claims in “Spare” that William, 40, and Kate Middleton told him to wear the Nazi costume he wore at a 2005 costume party.

“I phoned Willy and Kate, asked what they thought. Nazi uniform [over a pilot uniform], they said,” Harry writes. “They both howled.”

Despite the tensions between their families, Harry and Markle have both returned to England since their departure, most recently for Queen Elizabeth’s funeral.

In December 2021, it was reported that Charles, 74, had invited the couple to his upcoming coronation. The event, which will crown the sovereign, is scheduled for Harry’s son Archie’s fourth birthday.
