I'm not at all surprised Sarah isn't attending, to be honest I was much more surprised she attended the funeral of the late Queen, certainly surprised she did so as prominently as she did rather than in the larger congregation. That was obviously the wish of the late Queen and respected. It doesn't necessarily translate to an invite to the coronation (I don't recall her attending the Jubilee services in 2002, 2012 and 2022 for example)
I think there is a line between events marking official things and events marking personal (wedding, funerals etc).
The concert guests...well usual collection of people I would say. Without getting into it too much off topic I'd love to know if its more because other big names don't want to appear (there were some rumours of that) or because the BBC chooses rather "out the field" stars to perform.
As for the polls - the British public have a reputation for not being interested in anything until it happens. The Golden Jubilee was notorious for that, as were the Olympics. Anything other than football tbh we seem to say we aren't interested in yet still thousands turn up, millions tune in and street parties and sandwiches are made. Really we just need to wait and see/
