Prince Harry (38) is at the coronation of his father, King Charles III. (74), sitting “ten rows behind” the other royals. A royal insider told The Sun. Former royal butler Paul Burrell (64) also revealed that the Duke of Sussex barely had time to speak to the king or his brother, the Prince of Wales, during his brief visit in May. He added that he believed there was “no chance” of a reconciliation after Harry’s memoir, Spare, caused a stir earlier this year.
Although it may seem like a snub, Prince Harry’s rear position at Westminster Abbey could be helpful if he actually wants to make a quick exit, the former royal aide went on to reveal. Burrell told GB News’ Dan Wootton (40): “He doesn’t want to spend a lot of time with the other family members […] I think he’ll get an icy welcome from the Windsors.” He also added that he doesn’t think the Duke of Sussex will be “staying around” for long as he is due to leave the UK within 24 hours.
According to the former butler, “Harry comes to put his foot in the door and he comes because his father wants him to be there.” Burrell, who was a close confidant of Princess Diana (1961-1997), nonetheless believes the king will be “delighted” that his two sons will be present at his coronation.
Harry’s wife Duchess Meghan (41) and their two children will not travel from their adopted country of the United States to the coronation on May 6 in London.
