LONDON: Prince Harry, the younger son of King Charles III, attended his father's coronation in Westminster Abbey on Saturday (May 6) although he had to settle for a third-row seat behind other members of the royal family. It had been unclear until early April whether Harry, who now lives in California, wou
Harry, who is the Duke of Sussex, said last month he would attend without his wife Meghan and two young children, who remained in the United States. His eldest child Archie was celebrating his fourth birthday on Saturday.Harry was once one of the most popular members of the royal family and his wedding to Meghan, a US actor, at Windsor Castle in May 2018 was a grand affair which drew enthusiastic crowds.
It would be difficult to picture Harry and Meghan on the balcony of Buckingham Palace with King Charles and other members of the royal family, she said. It was not yet known if he would make a balcony appearance. "He'll always be a Prince Harry to many people but for the other royal titles, no . He's not a royal anymore, he doesn't do any duties, he doesn't live in the country," she said.
Jacqueline Brown, 28, a museum caretaker who had come from Missouri in the United States to witness the events, was still pleased to see him there. "He's the king's son, he should be here to support him. It's nice he's doing that despite everything," she said.
