Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were the subjects of a debate on Monday’s instalment of Good Morning Britain after it was announced King Charles III has given them an olive branch by inviting them to his coronation. They are yet to confirm whether they plan to attend the ceremony. However, royal expert Jack Royston claimed they will be “shoved in a corner” and “sidelined” by the rest of the Royal Family if they go.
Good Morning Britain host Susanna Reid asked Jack how Prince Harry and Meghan’s attendance at the coronation would “go down” with the rest of the Royal Family and the public.
He replied: “I think they are basically going to be shoved in a corner and be sidelined and some members of the Royal Family won’t want to look them in the eye.
“[Some] won’t want to speak to them and will just ignore them.”
When co-host Richard Madeley asked if he was surprised they had been invited, the expert explained: “No, it is the right thing for the reputation of the monarchy if you are going to look back in 20 or 30 years’ time.

The pair both agreed that was “never going to happen” and they were “never going to get that apology”.
“I would imagine certain family members feel they are owed an apology the other way,” Jack added.
The royal expert said his “gut” feeling was that Harry and Meghan would not attend the coronation.
However, he claimed the couple will be losing Frogmore Cottage – their home in Windsor – after the coronation rather than before.
