LONDON - King Charles is reportedly set to offer Princess Diana’s old apartment to the Duke and Duchess of Sussex as temporary accommodation if they come to his coronation.
The Monarch (74), has invited the couple to his coronation on May 6 at London’s Westminster Abbey, with Prince Harry and his wife Meghan weighing up whether to attend amid the fallout from their revelations about life in the royal family.
They are said to have been given ‘weeks’ by Charles to move out of their grace-and-favour” home of Frogmore Cottage in Windsor – which may be given to Prince Andrew – but is now thought the king could offer the pair Diana’s old accommodation, The Sun Online reported on Monday.
The outlet said: “The couple have not been offered a new permanent home following the event but it is understood that they will be given somewhere to stay temporarily as and when they visit the UK. This could include suites in Buckingham Palace or St James’s Palace, as well as Princess Diana’s former apartment at Kensington Palace.”
It was reported at the weekend Charles’s decision to offer the pair luxury accommodation was part of an ‘olive branch’ to the pair.
Harry (38), and Meghan (41), now live in a nine-bedroom £12 million (R219m) house in Montecito, California, after they quit life as senior royals in 2020 and are said to have been told to get their belongings out of Frogmore.
Charles’s offer of an invite to his coronation comes despite sources close to the king and his wife Queen Consort Camilla (75), saying the couple were furious and left wearied by the claims in Harry’s autobiography, in which he said his brother Prince William pushed him to the floor.
