Charles will ‘fuel Meghan’s anti-Palace fire’ with coronation plan, says expert
King Charles is set to "only add fuel to Meghan Markle's already roaring anti-Palace fire" with his plan for the coronation, according to a royal expert.
This weekend reports claimed that Prince Harry is to be whisked into the UK for the event on May 6, while his wife remains in California.
Sources told the Daily Mail that Harry will spend 48 hours in his homeland, making a brief appearance at his father's coronation before flying back stateside.

The plan – dubbed 'Harry in a hurry' – will see Meghan stay behind with their kids to celebrate Archie's fourth birthday, which also happens to be on May 6.
Writing for news.com.au, royal expert Daniela Elser warned that this plan may rile Meghan and justify some of the complaints she's levied against the Royal Family.
She wrote: "Having Harry there but not Meghan would only add further fuel for the duchess’ already roaring anti-Palace fire and seemingly give credence to her complaints of a cold, unwelcoming House of Windsor.
"Also, a quickie trip of this nature would only feel somewhat artificial and forced, given that the entire world is painfully au fait with the acrimonious state of trans-Atlantic relations."
Elser also warned of the awkwardness that could ensue from the royals reuniting for the first time since Harry's book, Spare, was released, while being live streamed to the world.
She said: "No matter Charles’ Kofi Annan-esque efforts, the first time that William and Harry (and Kate and Harry) clap eyes on one another may well be in the Abbey, with live TV cameras broadcasting their every sideways glance and pout to the planet.
"Succession’s showrunners could only dream of such taut, ratcheted-up family tension."
Another issue Elser raised was the questions that will arise around what part Harry plays in official ceremonies.
Similar squabbles arose ahead of the Queen's funeral, for example over whether the Duke of Sussex was going to be allowed to wear military uniform.
