Buckingham Palace staff are making preparations for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex to attend King Charles III’s coronation, it has been reported.
The Daily Mail said that Prince Harry and his wife Meghan are being factored into all arrangements including cars, seating in Westminster Abbey and dining.
The couple have yet to confirm whether they will attend the historic ceremony on May 6 and the report comes after they began using the titles prince and princess for their children in an “alignment” with the palace on the matter.
It is understood there is no update from the Sussex camp as to whether they will be present for the crowning of King Charles and Queen Consort Camilla.
A representative for the Sussexes previously said Prince Harry and Meghan had received email correspondence from the king’s office about the event, but an immediate decision on their attendance would not yet be disclosed.
Officials within the Master of the Household’s Department and the Lord Chamberlain’s Office are anticipating their attendance, The Daily Mail said.
Buckingham Palace has yet to comment.
Prince Harry and Meghan’s relationship with the king and the Prince of Wales has remained troubled following the publication of the duke’s tell-all memoir Spare.

Prince Harry criticised the king's parenting, accused Prince William of physically attacking him and branded Queen Consort Camilla “dangerous”.
In the three years since they stepped down as working royals, the couple have been critical of the royal family and the monarchy, telling their story in their Netflix documentary and in a televised interview with Oprah Winfrey.
It emerged last week that Prince Harry and Meghan have been asked to vacate their UK home Frogmore Cottage, in a move sanctioned by the king.
May 6 is also Prince Archie’s fourth birthday.

Ten tax points to be aware of in 2026
1. Domestic VAT refund amendments: request your refund within five years
If a business does not apply for the refund on time, they lose their credit.
2. E-invoicing in the UAE
Businesses should continue preparing for the implementation of e-invoicing in the UAE, with 2026 a preparation and transition period ahead of phased mandatory adoption.
3. More tax audits
Tax authorities are increasingly using data already available across multiple filings to identify audit risks.
4. More beneficial VAT and excise tax penalty regime
Tax disputes are expected to become more frequent and more structured, with clearer administrative objection and appeal processes. The UAE has adopted a new penalty regime for VAT and excise disputes, which now mirrors the penalty regime for corporate tax.
5. Greater emphasis on statutory audit
There is a greater need for the accuracy of financial statements. The International Financial Reporting Standards standards need to be strictly adhered to and, as a result, the quality of the audits will need to increase.
6. Further transfer pricing enforcement
Transfer pricing enforcement, which refers to the practice of establishing prices for internal transactions between related entities, is expected to broaden in scope. The UAE will shortly open the possibility to negotiate advance pricing agreements, or essentially rulings for transfer pricing purposes.
7. Limited time periods for audits
Recent amendments also introduce a default five-year limitation period for tax audits and assessments, subject to specific statutory exceptions. While the standard audit and assessment period is five years, this may be extended to up to 15 years in cases involving fraud or tax evasion.
8. Pillar 2 implementation
Many multinational groups will begin to feel the practical effect of the Domestic Minimum Top-Up Tax (DMTT), the UAE's implementation of the OECD’s global minimum tax under Pillar 2. While the rules apply for financial years starting on or after January 1, 2025, it is 2026 that marks the transition to an operational phase.
9. Reduced compliance obligations for imported goods and services
Businesses that apply the reverse-charge mechanism for VAT purposes in the UAE may benefit from reduced compliance obligations.
10. Substance and CbC reporting focus
Tax authorities are expected to continue strengthening the enforcement of economic substance and Country-by-Country (CbC) reporting frameworks. In the UAE, these regimes are increasingly being used as risk-assessment tools, providing tax authorities with a comprehensive view of multinational groups’ global footprints and enabling them to assess whether profits are aligned with real economic activity.
