One month after Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan received an official invitation to the coronation of King Charles III, royal watchers still don't know whether the Sussexes will be at the May 6 spectacle.

Of their pending RSVP status, a rep for the couple "said this week there was no update on whether they were attending," the BBC reported.

BAZAAR.com confirmed last month that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex had "recently received" email correspondence from Buckingham Palace regarding the coronation.

"An immediate decision on whether the Duke and Duchess will attend will not be disclosed by us at this time," a spokesperson told BAZAAR at the time.

The coronation ceremony of King Charles and Camilla, the queen consort, will occur at Westminster Abbey. The celebration will take place over three days, with a concert happening at Windsor Castle on May 7 and the Coronation "Big Lunch" (a public holiday in which members of the public are encouraged to share food together) on May 8.

Though the possibility of a royal family reunion remains unclear, Harry did not meet with the king or his brother, Prince William, when he returned to London for a surprise visit last month, marking his first appearance in the United Kingdom since Queen Elizabeth II's funeral. He was in town to attend the pretrial hearing against Associated Newspapers, of which he is one of the multiple high-profile claimants alleging that the publisher committed illegal information gathering.

A source previously told BAZAAR that Harry notified his father of his visit before flying from California to London, but was told that the monarch would be "too busy." Meanwhile, a spokesperson for Prince William and Catherine, Princess of Wales, said that the family is "not in Windsor" due to Easter holidays.
