Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are believed to be just days away from confirming whether they will attend the coronation of King Charles next month.
Aside from ongoing and well-documented tensions within the royal family, the decision is likely to be further complicated by the fact that the big day, May 6, is also their son Archie's birthday - who is not invited to the Westminster Abbey celebrations.
And if they do show, one expert believes Harry and Meghan risk facing "monumental cold shouldering" at the event - as plans for the big day have finally been revealed.

The Mirror reports how royal watcher and commentator Daniela Elser has warned they will have to accept "a B-list part in proceedings" if they do attend.
"Being spurned by your brother, sister-in-law and pretty much everyone aside from an inconsequential cousin or two, with every moment caught on camera for our home-viewing delectation, sounds about as enjoyable as going to one of the Duchess of York's book readings.
"Even if they can stomach the monumental cold shouldering, they then face having to accept a B-list part in proceedings." Daniela also pointed out how the coronation falls on the same day as Prince Archie's birthday.
"Their son Archie, who will turn four on the day, has not been invited, even though Charles as a wee lad was that age when he fidgeted and yawned his way through Her late Majesty's coronation," she wrote in news.com.au.
There's less than a month to go until the historic events and it's still unclear whether Harry and Meghan will attend.
Harry is said to have lots of legitimate concerns about the event, such as his family's safety, their roles on the day and how Archie's birthday will be celebrated.
However, according to The Times, the Sussexes are set to reveal their intentions "within days".
Plans for the Coronation have been revealed and show how the Crown Jewels will play a starring role during the religious service on May 6.
The Coronation Procession will feature hundreds of members of the Armed Forces from the UK, Commonwealth and British Overseas Territories, as well as the Sovereign’s Bodyguard and Royal Watermen.
Charles will be crowned with the 17th-century St Edward’s Crown, which has been resized for him, before switching to the the lighter Imperial State Crown at the end of the ceremony, as per custom.
