Unknown about Enrique and Megan

Will the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, who went to live in the US in 2020 and maintain a very strained relationship with the royal family, be present?

It is known that the couple received an invitation, but the decision is not reported.

At the end of March, Harry made a surprise appearance in London for a court hearing against a tabloid newspaper, but no family reunion was announced.

There are talks between the palace and the couple about their role or managing their security, according to British media reports.

Queen Camilla, who will also be crowned on May 6, wanted to include her family, the offspring of her first marriage to Andrew Parker Bowles, in what was seen as an attempt to portray the modern image of a blended family.

Two of his children, Tom Parker Bowles and Laura Lopez, will be attending the event. Her three grandchildren, Gus, Louis and Freddie, will accompany her along with her great-nephew Arthur.

During the ceremony, Camila will wear the crown of Queen Mary, the grandmother of Isabella II. (AFP)
