Room for reconciliation. The seating chart at Queen Elizabeth II‘s funeral was not a snub at Prince Harry from King Charles III, royal historian Gareth Russell exclusively tells Us Weekly.
“That’s the etiquette. If you know what the etiquette is, it actually is a place of honor,” Russell explained on Tuesday, September 20, about Harry, 38, sitting behind his father, 73. “To be the one behind the king is actually a sign of favor. What they seem to have done with this etiquette though is not prioritize [Prince William] or Harry.”
According to the royal expert, the decision was all about Charles paying respect to his sister, Princess Anne.
“The king’s major concern has been to give a place of honor to his sister and for the older roles to be relaxed,” Russell continued. “So we saw for the first time a female member of the royal family marching behind the coffin. What we were seeing really was a time for the queen’s children rather than necessarily a focus on the grandchildren.”
For the king, the priority was honoring his bond with Anne, 72. “Giving princess Anne her rightful place in the 21st century in monarchy [shows that] she really is her brother’s confidant. She is hugely admired in Britain for her charitable work, and we’ve seen that she is someone who’s dealing with great heartbreak at her mother’s passing,” he shared with Us. “But I don’t think there was necessarily a priority about William and Harry.”
Russell’s insight comes after the royal family came together to honor the late monarch on Monday, September 19. Following seven decades on the British throne, Elizabeth passed away at age 96 in Scotland.
