Princess Anne Issues Ultimatum to Harry and Meghan: No Balcony Moment for Coronation

With just a month to go before the coronation of King Charles III at Westminster Abbey in London, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have been given an ultimatum by Princess Anne.

In order to ensure that her brother's coronation goes as smoothly as possible, the couple must sign a contract establishing several parameters to be met.

According to a royal insider who spoke with Page Six, King Charles III has demanded certain conditions be met so that Prince Harry's family can attend the coronation.

The document states that the couple may not disclose anything related to what happens at the event, and they are not allowed to talk to the press when entering Westminster Abbey.

In addition, they are required to maintain a behaviour worthy of a figure of the British monarchy and avoid doing anything that could damage their reputation while in the city of London.

Moreover, Sussex has no balcony moment even if they attend the coronation, as the King and Queen will celebrate their coronation by appearing on the Buckingham Palace balcony with just the working royals.

His Majesty's decision to appear in the historic moment with just his closest and most loyal family members will show his vision of a slimmed-down monarchy, royal sources said.

The final group of fifteen shows there is no place for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, should they even decide to attend the coronation.

Disgraced Prince Andrew, who was forced to step back from royal life last year after being embroiled in a s** abuse scandal which he denied, will also be banished from appearing at the monarch's side during his big moment in front of unexpected crowds of thousands outside the palace and down the mall.

Charles's trusted lieutenant and beloved sister, Princess Anne, will be by the King's side with her husband Vice-Admiral Sir Tim Lawrence.

The new Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh, Prince Edward and his wife Sophie, who spent so much time with the late Queen in the final years of her life, will also be present.

The King has been very clear about who he wants to represent the monarchy.

There is little room for sentiment; this is a state occasion, not a family occasion, and it is right that only the working members of the family are there at the big public moment.

The King also insisted on some of his mother's most trusted and loyal servants and family members to be included, despite their days as working royals being numbered.

The balcony moment will be the King's final presentation of a slimmed-down monarchy, which will be even further slimmed down once the Gloucesters, Duke of Kent, and Princess Alexandra finally step away from public life and into their well-earned retirements.

It is a final thank you for them and a nod to their support of his mother during her 70-year reign.

On the other hand, the ultimate decision still lies in Harry's hands as one highly placed source admitted, “All families are difficult, but this is no normal family, of course.

Harry has a lot of questions about how the event will work.”

Conversations are ongoing about whether the Princess of Wales will wear a tiara to the coronation.

She has previously worn Princess Diana's favourite headpiece, the Love is Not Tiara.

However, Markle is unlikely to have access to the family jewels, aside from what Harry has gifted her already, royal sources said.

In conclusion, Princess Anne has issued an ultimatum to Harry and Meghan, stating that they must sign a contract and have no balcony moment for the coronation.

The King's decision to appear with just his closest and most loyal family members shows his vision of a slimmed-down monarchy.

While conversations are ongoing, it remains to be seen whether Harry and Meghan will attend the coronation and adhere to the strict conditions set forth by the royal family.
