The guest list for King Charles's coronation on 6 May has been confirmed, with a 2,300-strong congregation expected inside Westminster Abbey.

Family and friends of Charles and Camilla, foreign royals, politicians, world leaders, celebrities and charity representatives will attend the service in London.

However, there are some royals who won't be in attendance on the day.

The Duke of Sussex will fly over from the US to attend his father and stepmother's coronation, but the Duchess of Sussex will remain in Montecito with Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.
