For months, the royal fans puzzled: Will Harry also appear at his father’s coronation? Even the planners of the royal family are said not to have known long before the celebrations whether the royal guest was to be expected – after all, he had another party on the program: son Archie turned four yesterday. And indeed Papa Harry made it home on his birthday. Albeit at the last minute.
For this, however, the prince had to rely on a very tightly timed travel plan. The prince spent less than 29 hours in his home country. Harry was spotted back at the airport an hour after the ceremony ended. And actually landed back in Los Angeles around 6:30 p.m. local time. From there it is almost 100 kilometers by car to the family home in Montecito. So Harry must have cuddled a very tired son for his fourth birthday.
His clothes at the airport also showed how urgent the prince was: in photos showing him arriving at LAX airport, Harry is still wearing his holiday suit, including all the medals. So he hadn’t even taken the time to change quickly. This fact is particularly amusing when you consider that the prince did not jet across the Atlantic in a private plane. But with a commercial flight operated by British Airways.
On the outward flight, Harry had allowed himself more room for delays. After arriving at Heathrow Airport around midday on Friday, he spent another night in his home country to make it to the coronation on time.
Whether Harry would come at all has long been the subject of speculation. With the publication of his tell-all book “Spare”, the prince had finally made friends with his father, King Charles III. kidding. Together with his wife Meghan Markle, he had to leave home in Frogmore Cottage, they chose their new home in California. Accordingly, Harry played no role in the ceremony itself. Instead of arriving with his brother, the heir to the throne Prince William, and his family, he arrived at Westminster Abbey with the royal cousins. His seat a few rows behind the prince also clearly distanced Harry from the royal nuclear family. Accordingly, he did not take part in the family part of the celebrations. His prince of hearts was waiting at home.
