\n<\/aside>\nA chorus of figures respected former British politicians, military, and historians shared a message for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle: Do not attend King Charles’ coronation next year.<\/p>\n
The couple’s explosive Netflix documentary released Thursday should be the final straw marking the end of their relationship with the Royal Family, several prominent UK figures told the Daily Mail Friday.<\/p>\n
Former Cabinet Minister and Tory veteran David Mellor said the Duke and Duchess of Sussex \u201ccategorically shouldn’t come\u201d to Westminster Abbey when Charles is crowned on May 6.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey make money out of selling their family down the river. I think it should be made clear that the British people do not want them there,\u201d said Mellor. <\/p>\n
The former Cabinet Minister added that the Brits \u201cwould be perfectly entitled to boo if the couple did turn up. They are a sad pair and there is no hope for them on their current course.\u201d<\/p>\nKing Charles will be coronated on May 6, 2023.<\/figcaption>AP<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\nFellow former Conservative leader Iain Duncan Smith questioned why the couple would even be interested in attending the Coronation \u201cif they dislike the Royal Family so much.\u201d<\/p>\n
Author and historian Lady Antonia Fraser said she hopes the former royals stay away so they don’t draw attention away from King Charles and Camilla, the Queen Consort.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt worries me that if they come the cameras might waste time on them. They should stay holding hands in Hollywood,\u201d Fraser said.<\/p>\n
The scathing criticism comes days after the first three episodes of Harry and Meghan’s Netflix documentary dropped and drew thousands of viewers. <\/p>\n\u201cHarry & Meghan\u201d was released last Thursday on Netflix.<\/figcaption>Netflix<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\nThe couple made several against the Royal Family, including that they held an \u201cunconscious bias\u201d around Markle’s race and that King Charles did not adequately care for Harry after Diana’s death. <\/p>\n
Harry also seemingly made a jab that Prince William did not marry Princess Kate out of love, but because she fit the royal image well.<\/p>\n
Dai Davies, former head of Royal protection, said the couple’s could pose a security risk for the Royal Family, which historically kept personal matters close to the chest.<\/p>\nHarry and Meghan at the Kennedy Gala in NYC on Dec. 7, 2022.<\/figcaption>Brian Prahl \/ MEGA<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\u201cWe don’t know what poison will come out next, but when considering what has been said, be it half-truth, lie or mockery of the Royal Family, how can anyone want them to be invited to the Coronation?\u201d Davies said.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe presentation of the monarchy and the Commonwealth as being racist is an insult to Britain and Britons,\u201d he said. \u201cThe false narrative presented in this series could give rise to people with a fixation on the Royal Family to enact their fantasies.\u201d<\/p>\n
According to eminent historian Lord Andrew Roberts, members of the royal family have not been invited to Coronations in the past, making it easy for the Royal Family to exclude Harry and Meghan, who decidedly left the family on their own accord in 2020.<\/p>\n
\u201cQueen Caroline wasn’t invited to George IV’s Coronation, The Duke and Duchess of Windsor weren’t at George VI’s in 1937, and Elizabeth II’s German relations weren’t invited in 1953, so there’s plenty of precedent for not inviting people who would be a distraction to and detraction from the focus of the great day,\u201d he said.<\/p>\nCharles will have to decide if he invites his son and daughter-in-law to his Coronation next year.<\/figcaption>Dominic Lipinski-Getty\/POOL supp<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\nIt is not clear whether Harry and Meghan will be welcome at the Coronation or to any future royal event, Tom Bower told Page Six. The couple may not even be welcome in the United Kingdom following the Netflix series.<\/p>\n
Chris Parry, a retired Rear Admiral, believes the couple \u201cforfeited their rights to be part of the Royal Family anymore.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cFrankly, they have shown themselves to be unreliable in terms of recording things and reporting them,\u201d he added. \u201cThe Coronation is another red carpet event for them \u2013 and they are likely to tread and tell. They are not consistent with the dignity and the importance of the occasion.\u201d<\/p>\n
Tory MP Bob Seely said, \u201cIf I were them I’d stay away \u2013 but they obviously want to attend and monetize it afterwards.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
