Invitations to King Charles' coronation on May 6 will be sent out this week, and despite the ongoing explosive drama of the king evicting Prince Harry and Meghan Markle from their British home, Frogmore Cottage, they are expected to be invited to the ceremony, Us Weekly magazine reports.

Marie Claire reported today that the Sussexes received an eviction notice to vacate the house on January 11, the day after Harry's bombastic memoir, Spare, was released on January 10. (So this is all news to the general public, but the people involved have known about this for nearly two months. Whether that time was enough to cool the anger is anyone's guess. [Royal family expert Richard Fitzwilliams told Us Weekly that The royal family has put up with a tremendous amount of problems as far as they are concerned, and it's been a damaging and difficult time for them, from the beginning of December to the publication of Spare, and those interviews, and now this one."

Now, for those living under a rock, TLDR: There have long been strains between Harry and Meghan and other members of the royal family: in December, Harry and Meghan's six-part Netflix documentary, Harry & Meghan The strain exploded with the release of "Harry & Meghan," a six-part Netflix documentary about Harry and Meghan, and the publication of "Spare" the following month. In a sort of retaliation for what appears to have been a deportation notice, two questions are now being asked: will the Sussex family attend the coronation or will they be invited?" (If you're Fitzwilliams, the answer is yes, at least for the invitation part.)

Harry's brother Prince William is, Fitzwilliams says he "feels very strongly" about Harry's attendance (one should assume that his brother is strongly opposed to seeing Harry in May), but after all, "Prince Charles is, of course, the symbol of national unity as monarch, and the invitation comes from Prince Charles." Fitzwilliams says. As far as William is concerned, "it is a terribly deep rift, and I don't see it being repaired."

"Page Six" reports that despite everything, Harry and Meghan have received invitations to the coronation. And assuming they do receive invitations, the magazine reports that the Sussexes have the upper hand.

"No matter what happens, Harry and Meghan will always make headlines," says a palace source. Whether they come or stay at their home in California, they will have the upper hand."

Another royal source told the outlet that Buckingham Palace expects the two to attend: "Harry has always sworn to uphold the values of the monarchy. Besides, how could he not come to his father's coronation ......?"

Just this.

The event has come under fire because just such headlines threaten to overshadow Prince Charles' sunny day; Page Six reports that Prince Charles and his team of advisors will want everything resolved by May 6.

"There should be no distraction from the actual coronation," said Hugo Vickers, a friend of the royal family. 'It's very important. I don't know if both Harry and Meghan will come [to the coronation], but the message I am getting is that Prince Charles is concerned about his son and wants to keep the door open for him."

But it is not a Frogmore door, apparently. (Page Six quotes a palace official as saying that it was the perfect time for Prince Charles to file his departure papers. However, for the Sussexes, "being evicted from Frogmore feels like another move to remove themselves from the family altogether," Page Six reports.

"Of course it's a shame," a Sussex family source said of the eviction, adding that Harry and Meghan are most hurt because the Frogmore was a gift from the late King's Majesty in 2018, the same year the two were married. "Frogmore was originally intended to be their forever home and was a gift from the Queen before they thought of leaving England."

Royal officials call it "waste" that Frogmore is left there empty.

Indeed, royal officials call it "wasteful" that the Frogmore sits there empty - the Sussexes rarely visit, and Harry and Meghan, for their part, are more than content with their $14.5 million home in Montecito, according to that Sussex official. "They are not victims. "They are not victims, nor do they consider themselves victims." They have a house to live in and are just trying to follow what they are told and move on together," the source said."
