The image features 10 members of The Firm alongside the King and Queen Consort Camilla – including well-known faces such as Princess Anne, Prince William, Kate Middleton, Prince Edward and Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh.

Prince Harry flew from Los Angeles to London this week to show public support at father King Charles' Coronation on Saturday, making his first public appearance of the year with his royal relatives. But the Duke of Sussex wasn't given a spot beside his immediate family inside the Westminster Abbey ceremony and was instead relegated to the third row to watch his father and stepmother Camilla crowned.

King Charles III put a modern sartorial spin on his coronation look.While much of the British monarch's coronation on Saturday inside Westminster Abbey complied with long-held tradition and protocol, Queen Elizabeth's firstborn son took some liberties with his wardrobe for the occasion — and they did not go unnoticed. Notably, the 74-year-old sovereign made the look his own by ditching the standout silk stockings and breeches worn by kings of the past, including his grandfather, King George VI. However, Charles' predecessors still appeared to influence his overall ensemble as he entered Westminster Abbey for the ceremony, sporting a crimson coronation tunic and cream overskirt reportedly inspired by those similarly worn by George V and George VI at their own coronations, according to .

What the duke wore. Prince Harry attended King Charles III‘s coronation in a morning suit rather than his military uniform.

King Charles' historic day did not go without some criticism. On Saturday, the firstborn son of the late Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip was set to be crowned king, officially marking his reign as sovereign eight months after the death of his mother, the longest-serving monarch in British history. Amid Charles' procession from Buckingham Palace to Westminster Abbey, the site of the milestone occasion, however, the 74-year-old royal was met with disapproval from protesters situated in a sea of onlookers along the route. Protesters, some appearing to be affiliated with the British group Republic, were photographed holding «Not My King» signs. Another person was spotted holding a sign in support of Virginia Giuffre, who filed a lawsuit against Charles' younger brother, Prince Andrew, in 2021, alleging she was sexually abused by him.
