Sarah Ferguson has explained why she will not be attending the coronation on 6 May.
Fergie, who still lives with Prince Andrew and is very close to him even though they divorced in 1996, told Good Morning Britain that she will not attend since she and Andrew are divorced and “you can’t have it both ways”.
The Duchess of York also said that the spotlight needs to “come off” Prince Andrew in order for him to “rebuild” his life.
Meanwhile, commentators have claimed that the King has handed Harry and Meghan an “olive branch” by including them in the official souvenir programme for the coronation.
A family portrait from 2018 is featured in the souvenir offering, showing Charles and Camilla, William and Kate, their three children and the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.
Some reports have suggested that the inclusion of the photo is a way for Charles to “mend” relations with the pair, as their rift with the royal family continues. Buckingham Palace announced last week that Harry will be attending the ceremony on 6 May, after months of speculation over his presence. Meghan will remain in California with their children.
