A spokesperson for the couple 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.”
News that the Sussexes have been invited has divided royal fans.
“It’s a double-edged sword regardless of what they decide to do,” one Twitter user argued.
A second said: “GOOD! I hope Harry & Meghan make the quick decision to attend his father’s Coronation. I have supported H&M since the beginning. Harry recently said in an interview, ‘The ball is in their court.’ Well, Harry, the ball is now passed to you in an act of good faith. You should go.”
A third stated: “Harry can go if he wants to…it’s his family, but he must leave Meghan and the kids out of it.”
A fourth admitted: “King Charles is Prince Harry’s father and hopefully everything will be fine in the British @RoyalFamily. At this point, I’m hoping for reconciliation!!!”
And a fifth concluded: “The #Coronation will be a happier occasion without #MeghanMarkle & #PrinceHarry @RoyalFamily although no parent wants to exclude their own children at such important events understandably.”
