The Duke of Sussex has joined other royals at Westminster Abbey for his father King Charles III’s Coronation. Prince Harry appeared relaxed as he arrived at the Abbey and was seen chatting with his cousins Princess Beatrice and Princess Beatrice.
It is thought it is the first time he has seen his family since his controversial memoir, Spare, came out.
He arrived in London on Friday, but will reportedly return to the US after the ceremony for his son’s birthday. Prince Archie has remained in Los Angeles with his mother, the Duchess of Sussex, where he will celebrate his fourth birthday.
A source told the US outlet Page Six that Harry intended to make “every effort to get back in time for Archie’s birthday”. As he entered the Abbey he appeared relaxed and was seen chatting to several family members.
Dressed in a smart morning suit, he tapped Princess Beatrice’s husband Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi on the back with a smile on his face, before taking his place beside Jack Brooksbank – husband of Princess Eugenie – in the third row
After landing at London’s Heathrow Airport on Friday morning, Harry reportedly stayed at Frogmore Cottage on the grounds of Windsor Castle on Friday night – the residence he and Meghan were asked to vacate by the King.
Last month Buckingham Palace confirmed that Prince Harry would attend the ceremony alone.
However, officials have said Prince Harry and his uncle Prince Andrew will have no formal role in the ceremony, as they are not working members of the Royal Family.
Unlike other members of the family, he is not wearing robes or military uniform – even though he served in the army for a decade, including two tours of Afghanistan.
