Prince Harry leaves alone after attending Coronation
Prince Harry leaves alone after attending Coronation
The Duke of Sussex was seated two rows behind his brother, the Prince of Wales, at Westminster Abbey for his father's coronation.
The prince arrived by himself without his wife Meghan, who remained in the US, and he departed right away.
Following the ceremony, the prince was not invited to welcome the crowds from Buckingham Palace's balcony, It is believed that he is currently en route to Heathrow.
Since the release of his contentious book, Spare, the prince has not been spotted with his family at a public event.
Shortly after the service ended, Prince Harry stepped into a
car by himself. A few hours later, the Prince and Princess of Wales and
their kids joined the King and Queen on the balcony of Buckingham Palace, along
with other working members of the Royal Family. The Duchess of Sussex, wife of Prince Harry, stayed in Los
Angeles with their kids to celebrate their son Prince Archie's fourth birthday. Prince Harry intended to make "every effort to get back
in time for Archie's birthday," a source previously told the US
publication Page Six. At the event, Prince Harry sat in the third row with his
uncle Prince Andrew, the Duke of York, and his cousin Princess Eugenie and her
husband Jack Brooksbank. He was also wearing a morning suit and medals. The Prince and Princess of Wales, the Duke and Duchess of
Edinburgh, and their offspring Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis were seated
two rows up front. Prince Harry sat in the second row of the abbey for the late
Queen Elizabeth's funeral last year, directly behind the King. Since Prince Harry did not serve as a working member of the
Royal Family, it was already known that he would attend the event alone and
play no official role. Prince Andrew also experienced this. Since the publication of his memoir, Prince Harry's
relationships with other family members have become strained. He has since spoken of feeling "different" from
the rest of his family after the book clearly detailed fights and disputes with
family members. Many people believed Meghan's choice to decline the
invitation resulted from the ongoing, unresolved family conflicts. Additionally, it was recently discovered that the King had
attempted to prevent Prince Harry from suing newspapers for alleged phone
hacking. Prince Harry claimed in a witness statement made public by
court documents that he was "summoned to Buckingham Palace". He instructed them to abandon the proceedings due to their impact on the family. Looks like Prince Harry is travelling alone as he leaves Westminster Abbey after his father’s #coronation pic.twitter.com/b7ZOvupYvt
