Prince Louis ‘Will be at King Charles’ coronation – but no place in procession for Harry, Meghan Markle or Andrew’

PRINCE Louis is reportedly at the coronation of King Charles, but there will be no room in the procession for members of the royal family.

Louis, 4, will be joined by his older siblings Princess Charlotte and Prince George on May 6, according to The Times.

But Prince Harry, Meghan Markle and Prince Andrew are not expected to take part in the motorcade, the newspaper revealed.

It comes after Harry, 38, and Meg, 41, have yet to officially say whether they will attend the coronation.

Harry’s relationship with the King and Prince of Wales remained troubled following the publication of Duke Spare’s controversial memoir.

The king’s second son has criticized Charles’ parenthood, accused William of physically attacking him and called Camilla ‘dangerous’.

Rehearsal plans seen by The Times show the Prince and Princess of Wales and their three children will leave the Abbey.

The Prince of Wales children are expected to join their parents in a carriage behind Charles and Camilla, who will be in the Gold State Coach.

It has long been expected that nine-year-old George, second in line to the throne, will attend the coronation.

And there has also been speculation that he will have a role to play.

George and Charlotte both attended the late Queen’s funeral, joining other members of the Royal Family for the procession into the Abbey.

Then they were taken to Wellington Arch to see the coffin transferred from the gun carriage to the royal hearse for the journey to Windsor.

They were the youngest members of the royal family to join a funeral procession. Louis, however, was considered too young.

Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie will also not be in the motorcade according to rehearsal plans as it is confined to working members of the Royal Family.

Apart from the Prince and Princess of Wales and their children, the only other members of the Royal Family in the procession outside the Abbey will be the Princess Royal and her husband, Vice Admiral Sir Tim Laurence, the new Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh, the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester, and the Duke of Kent and his sister Princess Alexandra.

Although Buckingham Palace has insisted that the carriage procession will be “incredible in both its scale and its splendor”, it will be significantly smaller – and cover a shorter route – than the procession after the coronation of Queen Elizabeth.

The coronation events will begin on Saturday, May 6.

They will continue on Sunday May 7 and Monday May 8, which has been declared a public holiday on the occasion of the coronation.

The action-packed weekend will see the King and Queen consort arrive at Westminster Abbey during the King’s Procession on Saturday morning.

This will be followed by the coronation service led by the Archbishop of Canterbury and will ‘reflect the role of the monarch today and look to the future, whilst being rooted in long standing traditions and pageantry’.

After the service, the newly crowned King and Queen consort will return to the palace in a larger ceremonial parade known as the Coronation Procession.

This is expected to include thousands of soldiers, military bands and other royals.

After the procession, the royal family is expected to appear on the balcony of Buckingham Palace.

Buckingham Palace declined to comment.
