The most controversial name not to travel to London for Charles' coronation is of course Meghan. Prince Harry, Charles' youngest son, is crossing over from the United States, but Meghan remains at home with the children. The official reason is that their son Archie's birthday falls on Charles' coronation day. Meanwhile, of course, the whole world knows that there are major tensions between Harry, Meghan and the rest of the British royal family. Although Harry appeared, he was not invited to the famous balcony scene at the end of the day.
Sarah Ferguson, the sister of Charles' ex-wife, did not receive an invitation. While her much-discussed ex-boyfriend Andrew is allowed to attend, despite his damaged image. Her children, Princess Eugenie and Princess Beatrice, are also allowed to attend. In response, Sarah said she would watch the coronation while enjoying some tea and a chicken sandwich. By the way, Fergie is taking it very sporty. “Andrew and I are divorced,” she said in response. “You can't have it both ways. You can't break away and expect things.” You're in or you're out“.
The well-known politician who will not be coming to London is Joe Biden, the President of the United States. His wife Jill takes his place. The exact reason is still a matter of speculation, but it is certainly not unusual: American presidents have often failed to attend the coronation of British royals.
Then there is a whole host of artists who have refused to perform at the coronation ceremony in Charles' honour, which takes place on Sunday evening. Adele, Harry Styles, the Spice Girls, Elton John and Robbie Williams, among others, thanked them for the opportunity to perform.
