Heavily pregnant Princess Eugenie joins Beatrice and Zara Tindall at Coronation

A heavily pregnant Princess Eugenie has joined her sister Princess Beatrice for the Coronation of their uncle King Charles.

The sisters arrived at Westminster Abbey with their husbands Jack Brooksbank and Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi - and were also joined by the King's younger son Prince Harry, who travelled from the US without his wife Meghan Markle.

The Duke of Sussex was seen smiling with his cousin Eugenie as they entered the church in Central London.

They arrived for the historic event alongside their cousin Zara Tindall, who was accompanied by her husband Mike.

Eugenie, who is already a mum to two-year-old August and is set to give birth to her second child this summer, wore a long dress with a coat and a blue hat.

Beatrice smiled while entering the Abbey, wearing a purple dress as she walked alongside her husband.

Zara donned a light-blue dress and hat as she arrived for the Coronation with her husband Mike Tindall.

They were also joined by Prince Andrew and Princess Anne as they arrived to the Abbey.

But despite their attendance, neither Beatrice, Eugenie nor Zara will be taking part in the procession later or appearing on the Buckingham Palace balcony for the RAF flypast.

This is because the balcony is being limited to working royals only - with Beatrice, Eugenie, Zara and Mike all having their own jobs - and not carrying out duties on behalf of the monarch.

However, the group is expected to be at Windsor Castle tomorrow for the Coronation Concert, which is set to see the likes of Take That, Lionel Richie and Katy Perry perform.

Other acts ready to woo the watching crowds around the world include Take That, Paloma Faith, Olly Murs, Steve Winwood, Nicole Scherzinger and Andrea Bocelli.

The concert will be hosted by actor Hugh Bonneville. Tom Cruise, Dame Joan Collins, Bear Grylls and Sir Tom Jones are all set to appear in special video messages.

Prince Harry, wearing a black three-piece set of tails and military medals on his chest, is not playing a role in the service.

He reportedly travelled to the UK on a commercial American Airlines flight yesterday morning.

The Duke of Sussex departed from Los Angeles and landed at Heathrow Airport in London at 11.23am on Friday.

Passengers were said to be gobsmacked at seeing Harry on American Airlines flight AA136 as he jetted into the UK for a short visit to attend his father's Coronation today.

His wife Meghan Markle stayed in California with the couple's two children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, as today is also their son's fourth birthday and she will be celebrating with him.

Harry is also rumoured to return to the US shortly after the ceremony at Westminster Abbey so that he can arrive home in time to still celebrate Archie's special day.
