Buckingham Palace Confirms Whether Prince Harry, Meghan Markle Will Be In Attendance At Coronation

Buckingham Palace confirmed on Wednesday that Prince Harry will travel to the United Kingdom in May without his wife Meghan Markle and their two kids for the coronation of his father King Charles III.

The royal household told People magazine in a statement that the Duke of Sussex would attend the crowning of the King and Queen Camilla in London.

“Buckingham Palace is pleased to confirm that The Duke of Sussex will attend the Coronation Service at Westminster Abbey on 6th May,” the statement read.

“The Duchess of Sussex will remain in California with Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet,” it added.

The date of the coronation falls on the same day as Prince Archie’s birthday. Markle will stay in CA to celebrate their oldest turning four that weekend.

In March, The Sunday Times U.K. reported that the royal couple had been invited to the ceremony.

A spokesperson for the Sussex’s told the outlet, “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.”

The King ascended the throne in September 2022 following the death of his mother, Queen Elizabeth II, at 96. Charles formally becomes the head of the monarchy when he’s crowned at London’s Westminster Abbey.

Relations between the royal couple and the family have not been the best following Harry and Markle’s initial decision to step down from their senior roles in January 2020. Three years later, the prince released his tell-all memoir that took aim at Harry’s brother, sister-in-law, and father.

In the memoir, the royal blames the media for destroying his relationship with his family, writing, “How lost we are, I thought. How far we’ve strayed. How much damage has been done to our love, our bond, and why? All because a dreadful mob of dweebs and crones and cut-rate criminals and clinically diagnosable sadists along Fleet Street feel the need to get their jollies and plump their profits — and work out their personal issues — by tormenting one very large, very ancient, very dysfunctional family.”

Theranos Fraudster Elizabeth Holmes Asked To Remain Out Of Prison While Appealing Her Conviction. A Judge Denied Her Request.

Elizabeth Holmes, the founder and CEO of failed blood-testing company Theranos, will have to report to prison while appealing her fraud conviction.

Holmes had asked U.S. District Court Judge Edward Davila to allow her to remain free while she appealed the conviction against her, but in a ruling filed on Monday, Davila ruled that the part of the conviction Holmes is appealing will probably not be overturned. Holmes is challenging her conviction based on the evidence presented at trial regarding whether Theranos products “worked as promised,” NBC News reported.

“Whether the jury heard more or less evidence that tended to show the accuracy and reliability of Theranos technology does not diminish the evidence the jury heard of other misrepresentations Ms. Holmes made to investors,” Davila ruled.

Davila noted in his ruling that Holmes’ conviction wasn’t just based on whether her products worked but also related to the company’s finances and her false claims to investors about what her product did.

Davila did say in his ruling that he didn’t believe Holmes was a flight risk, even though federal prosecutors revealed earlier this year that Holmes and her husband purchased one-way tickets to Mexico in January 2022 – the same month she was convicted. The tickets were canceled only after the defense counsel was notified.

“The government anticipates Defendant will note in reply that she did not in fact leave the country as scheduled,” prosecutors wrote, “but it is difficult to know with certainty what Defendant would have done had the government not intervened.”

Holmes’ husband, William “Billy” Evans, allegedly used his ticket and returned six weeks later from a different continent.

In that same document, prosecutors noted that Holmes “continues to show no remorse to her victims.”

Holmes was found guilty in January 2022 on four out of 11 charges of fraud relating to her blood-testing startup and was sentenced to 11 years in prison.

Judge Davila has previously recommended Holmes serve her sentence at Federal Prison Camp in Bryan, Texas, a minimum-security federal prison. Criminal defense attorney Alan Ellis told Bloomberg in November 2022 that Holmes would have “no walls, no bars, no fences” at that particular prison, calling the facility “heaven.”

“No one wants to get … kicked out because compared to other places in the prison system, this place is heaven,” Ellis said. “If you have to go, it’s a good place to go.”

Holmes is expected to report to the prison on April 27.
