The controversial royal sat stone-faced in the third row at the coronation of King Charles III, with his cousins Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie.
If you felt a gust of wind around noon British time on Saturday, that may have been Prince Harry, breathing a massive sigh of relief that attendingWe speculate, of course, but it doesn’t feel like a stretch to imagine that this was an occasion Harry was eager to have behind him.Speculation was rife if Harry would even attend, as he delayed confirming his attendance until just three weeks ago. Harry flew in only yesterday, the day before the event, , and spent the night at.
Certainly, Harry was noticeably uncomfortable as he arrived at Westminster Abbey for the coronation service. Walking into the church, he was seen joking with his cousins, Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie and their husbands, although it felt more awkward laughter than easy, breezy mirth. Technically, Harry’s spot at the coronation was less a snub, more an egalitarian adhering to protocol: working royals got the best seats, and then everyone else were seated behind them in a rough order of seniority. It’s still a far cry from where Harry, in an alternate universe where he didn’t break from his family quite so acrimoniously, may have been sitting. He may have even joined his brother in paying formal homage to their father during the coronation ceremony.
As the service continued, Harry looked very much like a person going through the motions. He sang the hymns, he said the pledge of allegiance to Charles, he moved his lips during “God Save The King” but he never cracked a smile. Alas, any reaction he might have had was also largely blocked, thanks to a rather majestic feather on Princess Anne’s hat.
