Prince Harry arrives at Westminster Abbey in a tailcoat
On the 6th (local time), the coronation ceremony of Charles III was held at Westminster Abbey in London, England. Prince Harry, the second son of the King and Duke of Sussex, sat in the third row to watch his father’s coronation, unlike his older brother, Prince William, who sat in the front row.
Prince Harry, who is currently living in the United States, came to England alone without his wife, Princess Meghan, attended the coronation ceremony and returned to the United States via Heathrow Airport.
Accordingly, the BBC believes that Prince Harry was not invited to the Balcony event. Usually, following the coronation ceremony, high-ranking royals appear from the balcony of Buckingham Palace to watch the public parade.
Meanwhile, this is the first time Prince Harry has appeared in public with the British royal family since the publication of his controversial memoir, ‘Spares’.
Prince Harry, who arrived in England the day before, on the 5th, moved alone by car right following the coronation ceremony.
90 minutes later, from the balcony of Buckingham Palace, the high-ranking royal family, including King Charles III, Queen Camilla, and Prince William and their children, appeared.
Instead of attending the coronation ceremony, Meghan, who is also the Duchess of Sussex, celebrated her son’s birthday at their home in Los Angeles. The day of the coronation is also the fourth birthday of Prince Archie, the eldest son of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.
Earlier, in an interview with American media ‘Page Six’, a source hinted that Prince Harry was “doing his best to return in time for his son’s birthday.”

In the front row were the Prince and Princess of Wales, Prince William and Duchess Kate, their children, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis, and Prince Edward, also known as the Duke of Edinburgh (Charles III’s youngest brother) and his wife.
Likewise, at the funeral of Queen Elizabeth II at Westminster Abbey last year, Prince Harry was seated right behind Charles III, who was seated in the front row.
Meanwhile, it has already been reported that Prince Harry will attend alone, unaccompanied by his family, and will not play any official role at the coronation. Prince Harry and Meghan stepped down from senior royal posts in January 2020.
Prince Andrew, who has been embroiled in controversy over underage prostitution, will also quietly attend.

Prince Harry vividly described the feuds and conflicts with members of the royal family in the book, and later confessed that he felt “different” from the rest of the family.

Due to this unresolved feud with the royal family, the Duchess of Sussex refused an invitation to attend the coronation and is believed to be absent.
Meanwhile, it was also revealed last month that Charles III was trying to block Prince Harry’s lawsuit. Earlier, Prince Harry sued a newspaper for hacking his cell phone.
According to court documents, Prince Harry stated that he was “summoned to Buckingham Palace” and told to drop the case given the impact the case would have on the royal family.
