Prince Harry has refused to commit to attending King Charles’ coronation.
The Duke of Sussex – who left his royal duties with his wife Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, in 2020 – spoke openly about the rift between him, his father and his brother Prince William, but it was expected that he be invited to the official ceremony on 6 May.
However, Harry declined to confirm whether he and his wife will be attending.
In a new excerpt from his forthcoming interview with Tom Brady, which will air on ITV on Sunday (08.01.23), when asked if he is invited to Westminster Abbey for the coronation, he replies: “There there’s a lot that can happen between now and then.”
Despite stepping down as a working royal, Harry insisted he still believes in the monarchy.
However, when asked if he thinks he will play a role in the institution’s future, he replied, “I don’t know.”
The 38-year-old prince is open to ending his public row with his family and has insisted “the door is always open”, but he won’t take the first step.
He said: “The ball is in their court.
“There’s a lot to talk about and I really hope they’re willing to sit down and talk about it.”
Harry again accused the Royal Family of informing the media against him and Meghan – who have children Archie, three, and Lilibet, 19 months, together – and insisted that ‘staying silent’ will only improve not their relationship.
Asked if he’s intruding on Charles and William’s private lives by talking about them in his memoir ‘Spare’, the Netflix documentary series ‘Harry and Meghan’ and other interviews, Harry replied: “It would be the accusation of people who do not understand – or do not want to believe – that my family informed the press.
“I don’t see how staying quiet is going to make things any better.”
In the trailer, Tom – who has known William and Harry for 20 years – asks the prince what he thinks his brother will do with his public outbursts.
He asked, “Wouldn’t your brother be like, ‘Harry, how could you do this to me after everything we’ve been through’. Isn’t that what he would say?”
Harry replied, “He would probably say all kinds of different things.”
