Prince Harry visited Buckingham Palace following last Saturday's Coronation of King Charles, but didn't see any of the Royal Family, according to reports.The Duke of Sussex was in and out of the Royal residence within half-an-hour following the elaborate service, which saw his father officially crowned as King, says the Telegraph. But the publication emphasises that any lack of contact with his estranged family was purely due to practical reasons, with the duke eager to get home to his wife and children.
Prince Harry made a blink-and-you-miss-it fly-over to attend his father’s coronation over the weekend, and now a source is revealing how King Charles feels about the quick trip.
stealing the show.Prince George, 9, Princess Charlotte, 8, and Prince Louis, 5, charmed viewers with many sweet moments at the coronation of King Charles III — but the fun didn’t stop there.During the coronation concert on Sunday, Prince William, 40, decided to join in on the antics, having some fun waving his Union Jack flag in the faces of his two eldest children.The Prince of Wales got a funny face and a laugh out of George — who is now second in line to the throne — while Charlotte seemed less than thrilled with her father’s shenanigans.However, in a sweet moment from the only daughter of Prince William and Princess Kate, 41, Charlotte looked thrilled as her dad later made his way onto the stage to make a speech. “Look! There’s papa” the youngster excitedly said, according to lip reader Jacqui Press.Charlotte even turned to George to point out their dad on stage.“Aww, Charlotte so excited to see her daddy on stage! She’s like ‘look George!’ George is like ‘whatevs,’” a viewer observed.The Prince and Princess of Wales attended the concert at Windsor Castle with their two eldest children along with other members of the royal family including the King Charles and Queen Camilla, as well as Princess Beatrice, Princess Eugenie and Prince Edward.However, little Louis didn’t make an appearance, with many fans left disappointed by his absence at the event.
Princess Eugenie posted a carousel of photos from the Coronation to her Instagram account but immediately had second thoughts, quickly deleting the post.
Prince William had royal fans convinced that he was making a jibe at his younger brother Prince Harry on Sunday while taking to the stage with a speech during the King's Coronation concert.The Prince of Wales took to the stage to share with the large crowd, and the millions watching at home, his pride of father King Charles, also making a special mention to the late Queen Elizabeth II. But one moment during the speech had some viewers raising eyebrows as they suspected it could be a reference to William's brother, who wasn't in attendance for the concert. During his honourable speech, he said: "For all that celebrations are magnificent, at the heart of the pageantry is a simple message - service." While he didn't mention Harry or sister-in-law Meghan Markle by name, many assumed that this was related to the statement the couple once put out themselves, where they spoke on living 'a life of service'.
Prince Harry was noticeably absent from the coronation concert Sunday, celebrating the newly crowned King Charles III and Queen Camilla. After attending the ceremony at Westminster Abbey yesterday, the Duke of Sussex made a quick exit to the airport, presumably on his way home to America.The youngest son of King Charles III departed Westminster Abbey after the coronation of his father in a black BMW sedan and went straight to the airport, according to multiple reports. Journalist Omid Scobie told ET earlier this week that «people around [Harry] are working as hard as they can to find the quickest way into the country and the quickest way out.» He added, «He's really only coming here for the ceremony, so any hopes for reconciliatory moments or private heart-to-heart between father and son or any of his family members, I think they'll be waiting for another time.»Harry was in attendance at the historic coronation but had zero interaction with his father or brother, Prince William. Harry was spotted entering the ceremony at Westminster Abbey on Saturday morning with his cousins, Princess Beatrice, Princes Eugenie, and Zara Tindall, as well as their respective spouses. He seemed in good spirits, smiling and chatting with Beatrice and her husband, Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, and sat with his family — next to Eugenie's husband, Jack Brooksbank, and directly behind his aunt, Anne, Princess Royal, who he also talked to. Harry also joined the crowd in reciting «God save King Charles» following his father's crowning and sang along to «God Save the King» as the monarchs processed out of Westminster Abbey.
