"My guess is that Harry will be treated like something of a pariah and that he is well aware of that.

"There is a humiliation factor here," the royal expert admitted. "Watching the other royals share center stage with the king and queen while he is probably going to be shunted aside — this will likely be painful and incredibly frustrating for Harry. I fully expect Harry to be sidelined and snubbed. We can look forward to lots of photographs of Harry standing alone, looking downcast and grim, even visibly seething."

Andersen predicted that even the disgraced Prince Andrew "will be afforded better treatment and shown more respect by the crown – that’s how deep the animosity toward the Sussexes runs in royal circles these days."

However, the royal guru insisted that alongside some boos, Harry may also receive some cheers from the public, as "there is still some lingering affection among the people for Diana's younger son."

"And I expect there will be some catcalls aimed in the direction of Andrew, Camilla, and even Charles as well," the writer concluded. "Like it or not, there is a growing anti-monarchist movement in Great Britain and they are becoming increasingly vocal."

Charles' coronation will take place at Westminster Abbey on Saturday, March 6.
