In an interview in January, Prince Harry assured that he believed in the institution of monarchy, despite his rift with the royal family. And so he couldn't miss the most important day of the royals this year: the dropout duke traveled to Great Britain alone to attend the coronation of his father Charles III. to attend According to the "Daily Mail" he had already arrived on a scheduled flight on Friday morning.
Meanwhile, wife Meghan stayed in the couple's new home, California, and apparently prepared for their son Archie's birthday, which falls on the same day as the coronation.
And so Harry did not walk at her side, but together with his cousins Beatrice and Eugenie and their husbands in Westminster Abbey. Instead of being in the tenth row as originally reported, he was seated next to them in the third row. So Harry was right in the middle, although not a few call him the black sheep of the family.
There was no contact with brother Prince William during the entire ceremony or before. Quite a few Royal fans would have probably wished that the brothers could greet each other and witness a nice moment. Instead, partially obscured by his Aunt Anne's elaborate headdress, Harry watched the spectacle from a distance. Even the cameras rarely caught the dropout royal. According to reports in the British media, the Californian by choice apparently went straight from the church to the airport. While the rest of his British family waved to the people on the balcony of Buckingham Palace, he was already on his way home.
The coronation shows clearly: Prince Harry is still a member of the family and in particular King Charles III. it should have been important that he was there. But his role is no longer one of great importance. In the monarchy system, he will take a place in the background in the future. Instead, his brother, the heir to the throne, is the most important royal behind the king.
