• Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, who have been invited to King Charles’ coronation.
• The Sussexes are said to have a variety of different criteria that must be met if they are to attend.
• The Sussex children, who live in Sussex, will benefit from Charles’ succession to the throne.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, who have been invited to King Charles’ coronation, reportedly want their eldest child Prince Archie’s fourth birthday to be considered into the Coronation arrangements, but some don’t think it’s a big deal with the Sussex.

Despite being the grandchildren of the 74-year-old king, Meghan and Harry’s children are not expected to attend, according to sources, because they are “very young.”

This will be a significant difficulty for the Sussexes because the Coronation date, May 6, is also Archie’s birthday. There are reports that the pair is afraid of ‘upstaging’ the Coronation if they focus too much on Archie’s birthday.

Some royal supporters disagree, pointing out that Harry was playing polo on his son’s third birthday last year, with one commenting, “Considering Harry played polo on his birthday last year, I can’t quite understand the upset.”

Some have stated that if the Duke were at odds with the Firm for this reason, it would be “hypocrisy.”

Archie’s father was riding horses with friend Nacho Figueras, the Argentinian actor who appears in the Sussex’s Netflix documentary and was also praised in the acknowledgements of his autobiography Spare.

The third one commented: “Given that Prince Harry played polo on Archie’s birthday this year, I don’t think they place too much importance on dedicating the whole day to celebrating their son’s birthday,”

Harry and Meghan are said to have a variety of different criteria that must be met if they are to attend, including some recognition of their son’s celebration.

“It’s terribly petty, but the Sussexes, who no longer have their royal platform, seem to relish any opportunity to attempt to upstage a royal occasion,” said royal columnist Lee Cohen, who feels the weekend must be about one thing only.

“It’s not that the Royal Family seeks opportunities to outdo the Sussexes’ antics; quite the opposite.”

Although Archie and Lilibet have received new royal titles, it does not appear that they will be attending the Coronation alongside their older relatives, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and potentially Prince Louis.

The Sussex children, who live in Sussex, will benefit from Charles’ succession to the throne. It would be “odd,” according to royal historian and author Dr Tessa Dunlop, if Archie was not invited to the ceremony.
