What Prince Harry is allowed to do at King's Coronation amid awkward snub

Prince Harry will be attending the Coronation of his father, King Charles III, but not as a working member of the Royal Family.

This means that he will not have the same responsibilities as other members, including his brother, Prince William, and has not been invited to take part in various aspects of the day.

As reported by the Mirror, Harry's relationship with the rest of the royals at an all-time low, and he will reportedly be sat back in the third row to avoid any awkward confrontations

Royal historian and expert Dr Tessa Dunlop told the Mirror: "In our changed times with a father-King who wants both his sons by his side, expect to see Harry there but minus a coronet and robe."

While there are roles for the Prince and Princess of Wales and young Prince George, Harry will just be watching the ceremony and won't take part in any of the carriage processions to and from Westminster Abbey.

He won't stand with the rest of his family on the famous Buckingham Palace balcony - but despite this, Harry was determined to attend.

Insiders say Harry knew the occasion will be "pretty much the most important day" of the King's life and realised that he would have deep regrets if he did not turn up on the momentous day.

Harry will then make a swift exit, with insiders claiming Harry will be "in and out of the UK in 24 hours" and won't attend the Coronation Concert at Windsor Castle on Sunday night.

Harry is hoping to get back to California in time to celebrate Prince Archie's fourth birthday - which also takes place on May 6 - with an intimate party.

It's been reported that many members of the Firm are privately telling friends they will give Harry the "cold shoulder".

A source, described as a friend of the family by the Mail, told the paper: "They will be given the cold shoulder by very many relatives. One said to me, 'I hope they'll be seated in Iceland.'

"Many of the family just want nothing more to do with them. If they have to see them at the Coronation then so be it, but they do not want to socialise with them."
