Prince Harry ‘looked like a spare part’ during the Coronation ceremony at Westminster Abbey, according to royal commentator Svar Nanan-Sen. The Duke of Sussex made a brief trip to the UK for the event and was seen walking alongside his cousins and their husbands as they entered the abbey. However, Nanan-Sen claimed that Harry appeared confused and awkward during the ceremony, and was relegated to the third row with other non-working members of the royal family.
Nanan-Sen’s observations have led to speculation that Harry’s Coronation appearance marked the end of his and Meghan Markle’s royal journey. The couple officially stepped down as senior royals in March 2020, and since then, have pursued a new life in the US.
During the ceremony, Prince William took centre stage as he swore loyalty to the King and shared a touching moment with his father, Prince Charles. Meanwhile, Harry was seen walking between Princess Eugenie and James Brooksbank, as well as Princess Beatrice and Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, in what Nanan-Sen described as another awkward moment.
Despite his reported awkwardness, Harry’s appearance at the Coronation was a rare public outing for the Duke, who has largely stayed out of the public eye since stepping back from royal duties. While he was in the UK, Harry also attended the unveiling of a statue of his mother, Princess Diana, at Kensington Palace. The event marked what would have been Diana’s 60th birthday.
It remains to be seen what the future holds for Harry and Meghan’s relationship with the royal family, but their brief return to the UK for the Coronation ceremony has prompted speculation and analysis from commentators like Nanan-Sen.
