Has a Queen Mother from another monarchy attended a previous British coronation?

^^^Not likely for the British or European coronations/enthronements because the foreign royal guests are traditionally the heirs to the throne and not the monarch or consort. That permits the newly crowned monarch to be the one with the highest rank/precedence.

Charles' slimmed-down Conation will be 'half the size of Queen's' as new details revealed
The King plans to invite 3,000 guests to his Coronation at Westminster Abbey in a slimmer ceremony showcasing modern Britain.

The Palace has told Parliament to prepare for a guest list less than half the size of the one for Queen Elizabeth's Coronation in 1953.
Stands were erected in the Abbey then to allow 8,000 people to attend a service of almost three hours.
This time there will be no stands or scaffolding, says sources in Parliament, and the service length will be about half that of 1953.
But the Abbey, which normally has a capacity of 2,200 people will cram in up to 800 more people by putting seats in the medieval galleries which are 52ft above the floor.

Senior figures in Parliament are already worried about how many politicians will be able to attend.
They fear a diplomatic headache in trying to accommodate many of the 650 MPs and 800 peers vying for a seat. Also coming on May 6 are Commonwealth leaders, the extended British Royal Family, 'foreign royalty, dignitaries and charity heads.

A Parliamentary source said: ''We're waiting for details but have been told to expect around 3,000. So nothing like the 8,000 last time, when scaffolding and all sorts was put up to accommodate the numbers.

''It will mean far fewer people, so they will have to think about who does and does not get an invite.

''And there will be a lot of disappointed people.''

I wouldn't want to be part of the committee that selects the invitees. 8,000 was risky, safety-wise. Glad it is slimmed down to 3,000.

I am seeing a lot of blue checkmark that actually want the number to be higher. I guess PMs do not want to miss out.

Tower of London announces school competition ahead of coronation ? Royal Central

QuoteAhead of the May Coronation of King Charles III, the Tower of London has announced a school Coronation competition.

The Tower is asking for schools across the nation to design an illustration for the Tower?s specially designed Coronation benches. The Tower describes this as an opportunity to bring the Coronation to life in the classroom while also learning about the moment of a historic transition.

Fifteen winning schools will work with an artist from Wild in Art to bring the designs to life, an organisation helping to put together popular art events across the world. The designs will be put onto benches, which will then be displayed at the Tower of London during the Coronation celebrations in May. For winners in Northern Ireland, their benches will be displayed at Hillsborough Castle and Gardens. Following the Coronation celebrations, the winning benches will return to the winning schools.

Winning schools will be offered a VIP trip for one class to visit the Tower of London this summer. Children will get to see their bench and take part in different themed activities. In addition, every school that enters the competition will be put into a raffle to receive a free class visit this autumn or a set of Coronation bunting featuring some of the illustrated bench designs.

Every school in the UK is eligible to enter. Entries must be sent in by midnight on Friday, 10 March 2023. Winners will be announced a week later on Friday, 17 March, with artists making their school visits during the last week of March

That YouTube  video was taken directly from a tabloid bleating that ?the PM should ban Harry!? article in the Express!

Churchill stepped in to block the Duke of Windsor from attending his successor?s Coronation if he insisted as an ex monarch. There was an unwritten convention then anyway that monarchs did not attend the Coronation of other monarchs.

That?s a lot different to Harry?s situation as the younger son of the King. Ministers loathe interfering in RF family matters. It will probably be briefly discussed at the weekly meeting the PM has with the King but it is most unlikely to be left to the PM to decide. I think the Sussexes will probably be invited. Whether they decide to go is another matter.
