Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have sparked fears they could upstage King Charles’ Coronation by going big on Archie’s birthday celebrations. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are said to still be considering whether or not to attend the historic ceremony in ten weeks time.Their son Archie turns four on the same day as the Coronation - but it has been said the couple are still determined to mark his birthday even if they return to Britain. If they do fly back to the UK in early May, insiders say they still intend to throw a party for Archie - as they would have done in California.
But, according to Express.co.uk, they have been told they risk overshadowing the King’s big day by going big on the celebrations - including any birthday announcement in the hours before the Coronation.

Royal columnist Lee Cohen said the Coronation weekend had to be about one thing only.
He added: "It's terribly petty, but the Sussexes, who no longer have their royal platform, seem to relish any opportunity to attempt to upstage a royal occasion. "It's not as if the Royal Family seek occasions to upstage the antics of the Sussexes, quite the opposite." Royal correspondent Natalie Oliveri said if the Sussexes were to attend, they should take no risks and keep a low profile. She added: "They're being encouraged to not pull any stunts during the Coronation and really stick to the plan.
