Prince Harry in unfamiliar spot at Coronation after backlash to King's criticism

Prince Harry found himself in an unfamiliar spot at today's Coronation.

The Duke of Sussex was in attendance at Westminster Abbey as King Charles was officially crowned. The Prince was sat in the second row when he attended the late Queen's funeral last September.

However, the 38-year-old was sat in the third row behind at Saturday's ceremony, two rows behind his brother the Prince of Wales. This is the first time Prince Harry had sat with his family in public since he criticised Charles, the Queen, William and the Princess of Wales in his memoir, Spare.

Buckingham Palace had earlier confirmed that Harry and his uncle, the Duke of York, would not have any formal role at the event as they are no longer working royals. Prince Andrew was also sat on the third row but he was at the other end from Harry.

The Duke of York stopped using the title His Royal Highness in an official capacity in January 2022. He wore his Order of the Garter robe which holds special significance for the royals as it the oldest and most senior Order of Chivalry in Britain.

Also seated in the third row was Princess Eugenie's husband, Jack Brooksbank, together with Eugenie, Beatrice and Mr Mapelli Mozzi. Meghan Markle has stayed at home in Montecito, California, with their children, Archie and Lili.
