Instead Sarah will be a ‘VIP attendee’ at the coronation concert to celebrate King Charles being officially crowned the following day, according to reports.
The Duchess of York recently spoke out about the snub while speaking on ITV’s Good Morning Britain, insisting she’s not offended and citing her divorce from Prince Andrew as the reason.
She told presenters Kate Garraway and Adil Ray: ‘I’m not [going], it’s a state occasion, and being divorced I don’t think you can have it both ways.
‘I am divorced and I’m really loving being divorced to my ex-husband, not from him but to him, it’s important to differentiate.’
She added that just because she’s ‘not there on the state occasion’, she can still ‘be there’ in private.
‘That’s a lovely feeling to be part of, it really is,’ she continued, ‘and as I said you can’t have it both ways.
You mustn’t sit on the fence. You’re either in or out, don’t muck around.’
