He told the Daily Beast: "Put it this way: I don’t think anyone expects Harry to get an invite to William’s Coronation."

The friend added: "It’s very clear that William and Kate are now extremely important members of the institution, so their view on Harry, which is basically the further away the better, will have to be taken into account."

The Prince of Wales is already reflecting on King Charles's Coronation and what he will do differently for his own ceremony when the time comes, according to the Sunday Times.

A source told the newspaper that his Coronation celebration will need to be modernised.

They said: "He is really thinking, how do we make his Coronation feel most relevant in the future.

"He is mindful of the fact that in 20 years' time, or whenever his time comes, how can the Coronation be modern but also unifying to the nation and the Commonwealth?

"I think his coronation will look and feel quite different."

Another source close to William said: "He’s taking stock, he’s thinking ‘that was a supreme success and it was because Pa altered things.

"I’ve got to be cognizant of how that evolution happens in my day.

"What is it that stays? What do I need to change? What will our relationships with the realms and the Commonwealth be then?’

"I don’t think he’ll be taking the filleting knife to it, but he will be checking it is sharp."
