Prince Archie is set to miss out on his very own rare coronation day honor following the news that Prince Harry will attend without Meghan Markle and their children.
- Prince Archie is no longer expected to be toasted at King Charles's coronation lunch after it was confirmed Prince Harry would attend the big day alone.
- It was thought that Charles would raise a toast to Prince Archie, who will mark his fourth birthday on the coronation day.
- This royal news comes after it was revealed that Prince William missed out on this prestigious honour held by both Kate Middleton and Prince Harry.
Prince Archie is expected to miss out on a rare coronation honor of his own after it is claimed King Charles made changes to his speech following confirmation that Prince Harry is attending alone.
It's reported that the monarch had been planning to raise a toast to his grandson Prince Archie who will celebrate his 4th birthday on the same day as the historic Coronation during the post-coronation lunch.
While millions enjoy their own coronation party food, with Waitrose having paid tribute to the King's cute dog with its coronation food range, members of the royal family are expected to sit down to enjoy a lunch together.
Traditionally coronation chicken would be served, like it was at the Queen's coronation but it's understood that King Charles and Queen Camilla are making their own coronation food recipe.
And while it's confirmed that Meghan Markle will remain at their home in LA with their children Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, who recently got their new royal titles. Prince Harry will make the 10k mile round trip solo but he's expected to cut the trip short so that he can jet back to LA to be with his family.
As a result Prince Harry is likely to miss the post-coronation lunch and therefore King Charles is now due to make changes to his planned speech.
A source told the Mail on Sunday, "The King considered a toast to Archie. But with no member of the Sussex family now due at the lunch, it is highly unlikely he would do in their absence."
Meanwhile, royal commentator Kristen Meinzer told Insider that the Duchess of Sussex's decision to skip the coronation is a "brilliant" way of dividing responsibilities.
"I think the decision for Harry to go, and for Meghan to stay home with the children on Archie's birthday is a brilliant way to split the difference," she said.
"As I've said in the past, the primary benefit of attending is the optics; of looking as though they're continuing to do their best on their end — even if the royal family isn't always doing their best on their end.
"But I've always maintained that the Sussexes must also do what's best for their own little family and their own mental health. It sounds like that's what they'll be doing."
