Instead the decision was working royals only at the front and work back from there.” But that would have put fifth-in-line Harry front and centre-and with William and Kate. News of Harry’s humiliating seating position leaked out Saturday morning with a source telling the Sun: “There were discussions that the seating could be arranged on line of succession. Harry said in his book that he begged his father not to marry Camilla. It must have all added up to the very strangest of days for Harry, who sat and watched as Camilla Parker Bowles, whom he described as a “wicked stepmother” in his book, was crowned queen alongside her husband. On Saturday morning it was widely reported that Harry had been invited to a family lunch after the coronation. After chatting to Eugenie, Prince Andrew’s daughter, outside the church, Harry got into a car, but his destination at that moment-airport or Buckingham Palace-was unknown. Harry did not join the coronation procession. Harry did not make eye contact with his father or brother, Prince William, who, sources have told The Daily Beast, “hates” his brother after he eviscerated him and Kate Middleton in his memoir, Spare.

Brooksbank is the husband of Princess Eugenie of York, and had given him an encouraging pat on the back as he made his way into the Abbey about 20 minutes before the event kicked off at 11 a.m. Harry was then escorted into the VIP Windsor Suite at Terminal 5, the paper reported.Įarlier, Harry had put on a brave face, grinning broadly and chatting to Jack Brooksbank before the ceremony began at Westminster Abbey. The paper said that after the coronation ceremony Harry got into a blacked-out electric BMW and drove the 20 miles to Heathrow, arriving with a police convoy around 2:05 p.m.

The Sun reported Harry was en route to the airport as his father and brother and royal relations waved to the crowds, keen to get home to California where his son Prince Archie is celebrating his fourth birthday today. When the rest of the royal family, including Queen Camilla’s grandchildren, made their centerpiece appearance on Buckingham Palace’s balcony, Harry was absent.

Prince Harry’s status as a royal outcast was ruthlessly emphasized at his father’s coronation Saturday, as he was seated in the third row with the disgraced Prince Andrew and his family in Westminster Abbey, and forced to walk alone down the aisle wearing civilian clothing.
