Coincidence? The net thinks not.
Royally invested social media users are speculating that King Charles III’s coronation date used to be selected purposefully as a diss to his son, Prince Harry, and his daughter-in-law, Meghan Markle.
Buckingham Palace announced Tuesday that the new monarch’s respectable crowning ceremony will take vicinity at Westminster Abbey on May 6, 2023 — the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s son Archie’s 4th birthday.
“So King Charles The Cruel has set his Coronation for the sixth of May subsequent year.. AKA his grandson Prince Archie of Sussex’s 4th birthday,” one of many critics tweeted in response to the news. “Chile how ghetto. I hate it here. Anyway, Harry when’s that memoir dropping.



“Imagine you pick your grandchild’s birthday for your coronation and…. He is trending in your country, NOT YOU 🤭🤸‍♂️🤸‍♂️ #Archie 👑,” some other dissenter noted, while any one else bluntly tweeted, “So the a–hole scheduled his coronation on his youngest grandson’s birthday?”
“Royalists freak out when the Sussexes launch a image two days after the rest of the household or does whatever when a birthday pic of the Cambridge youngsters is released, pronouncing it overshadows them,” another Twitter person pointed out, “but by using all means schedule your coronation on Archie’s birthday. The audacity.”
“At first I thought the Coronation date was once an oversight; however no longer anymore!” anyone else posted. “The aim is to overwrite any date that relates to the Sussexes with some thing that relates exclusively to the Crown. That way the 6th May will become Coronation Day as an alternative of Archies birthday. Not on our watch!”



Some followers didn’t assume the choice was made with intention however instead with negligence, with one writing, “So the date used to be set via the palace and the church… bet no one knew it was once Archie’s 4th birthday because no one plans with the Sussexes anymore.”

Despite their decision to exhibit up and pay their respects, Harry and Markle had been seemingly slighted severa instances throughout the late monarch’s funeral, inclusive of when they had been pressured to take a seat apart from the rest of the family.
Harry and Markle’s estranged relationship with his loved ones was solidified when they sat down with Oprah Winfrey in March 2021.
