Prince Harry 'told he can use Frogmore Cottage if he attends King's Coronation'

Prince Harry has been reportedly told that he and Meghan Markle can stay at Frogmore Cottage if they decide to attend the King's coronation in May.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex's spokesperson confirmed they were invited by Harry's father King Charles to the event but have not yet confirmed whether they will be attending.

It comes after last week it was confirmed that the monarch has asked Harry and Meghan to vacate their British home, Frogmore Cottage, and remove their belongings from the property.

The Sussexes, who now live in California with their two children, Archie and Lilibet, resided at Frogmore Cottage, in the grounds of Windsor Castle, before they stepped down as senior royals and left the UK.

Harry and Meghan had been expected to let the Frogmore Cottage lease expire after they left the UK for America, but they reportedly committed to a new 12-month rolling deal last April.

In the meantime, the home was used by Harry's cousin Princess Eugenie, her husband Jack Brooksbank and their young son August.

As reports began to emerged that King Charles had decided to evict the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, Buckingham Palace refused to comment on what was described as a "private family matter".

Despite being asked to leave Frogmore, however, Harry and Meghan have been told the property will be available for them to stay if they decide to attend the coronation on May 6, reports the Daily Mail. This claim has not been confirmed.

A spokesperson for Harry and Meghan said: "I can confirm The Duke has recently received email correspondence from His Majesty's office regarding the Coronation.

"An immediate decision on whether the Duke and Duchess will attend will not be disclosed by us at this time."

At the weekend, Harry took part in an online interview with trauma guru Gabor Maté in which he said he felt "more and more distant from loved ones".

In a fresh blow to his father Charles, the Duke of Sussex added that he and other members of the Royal Family "don't speak the same language".

Harry, 38, said: "I realised that I'd learned a new language and people that I was surrounded by once, they didn't speak the language – and so I actually felt more pushed aside."

The Duke also claimed that sharing his trauma in his best-selling memoir Spare was an "act of service".

Addressing the negative reaction he received, Harry said: "The more they criticise, the more I feel the need to share."

Harry said elements of his childhood were incredibly painful and that he always felt slightly different from other royals.

He drew parallels with his mum Diana, who died in a road crash in 1997 after divorcing Charles.

He said: "I felt strange being in this container and I know that my mum felt the same. It makes sense to me. I felt as though my body was in there and my head was out and sometimes it was viceversa."
