Meghan Markle's ex-friend has warned Prince Harry that attending the Coronation will "backfire terribly" on him.
Lizzie Cundy has previously said she became friends with the Duchess of Sussex after the pair met at a charity dinner in 2013.
The TV personality has now hit out at Prince Harry's expected "fleeting" appearance at King Charles's Coronation.
Cundy said: "Prince Harry coming to the Coronation and dipping his toe in and out, he'll have a hard job walking away with any pride, he'll be on one leg as his other foot will be in his mouth.

"He's only coming to the Coronation for a fleeting moment so he can write in his next book or say in his next interview with Meghan, how poorly treated he was by everybody and how his dad didn't want him.
"He's done this to himself."
Meghan's former friend continued: "King Charles has so sweetly invited them, despite all their interviews and trashing of the Royal Family to the Coronation.
"They have taken forever to answer him and are now using the poor excuse that Meghan can't go because of Archie's birthday but Harry is still coming despite him trashing the royals and everything it stands for."
She added during an interview with the Mirror: "This will backfire terribly, Harry this isn't about you.
"This is about your father, his Coronation – the most monumental and historic day, many of us will never see a Coronation in our lifetime."
In March, during an interview with GB News Cundy opened up about meeting Meghan.
She said: "I was friends with Meghan for a while and I really got on with her.
"I was asked by a friend to look after her at a charity event and I thought, 'Who is this woman?' No one actually knew who she was."

Cundy continued: "She wanted a boyfriend and wanted to get on to the showbiz scene and wanted a job in British TV, and wanted to be Made in Chelsea, actually, the show."
"So I said, 'Look if I can help you I will,' which I tried to do. I tried to hook her up with Ashley Cole, actually, the former Chelsea player, but she wasn't his type.
"I said I'd try and hook her up with a few guys, she wanted to stay in Britain. She wanted a British boyfriend.
"So she got that one in the end and won the lottery."
