Prince Harry 'desperate' to be at Coronation and 'willing' to mend royal feud

Prince Harry visited Buckingham Palace following last Saturday's Coronation of King Charles, but didn't see any of the Royal Family, according to reports.The Duke of Sussex was in and out of the Royal residence within half-an-hour following the elaborate service, which saw his father officially crowned as King, says the Telegraph. But the publication emphasises that any lack of contact with his estranged family was purely due to practical reasons, with the duke eager to get home to his wife and children.

Prince William and Prince Harry's relationship has become more strained in recent years. Even before Harry and his wife, Meghan Markle, made the decision to step away from royal life and relocate to America in 2020, the brothers showed signs of a serious rift. Today, the sons of King Charles III and the late Princess Diana are more divided than ever — but it wasn't always like that.Harry and William both attended their father's coronation on Saturday, May 6, 2023, at Westminster Abbey in London, England, marking the first time they were together since their grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II's funeral last year. The brothers did not speak or have any interaction with one another.Harry attended the coronation solo -- while Meghan and their two children — Archie, who turned 4 on Saturday, and Lilibet, 1 — remained at home in California. After attending the ceremony, the Duke of Sussex made a quick exit to the airport, presumably on his way home to America.The youngest son of King Charles III was absent from the royal family balcony after the coronation and had no notable role during the ceremony. He also skipped Sunday's coronation concert, celebrating the newly crowned king and queen.Now, ET delves into what went wrong in the brothers' relationship and where they stand today.We didn't expect a royal reconciliation at King Charles III's coronation.

Meghan Markle spent her weekend away from the crushing coronation crowds and media spotlight, instead opting to enjoy the temperate California climate and a nice hike.Amid the chatter and headlines regarding her absence from King Charles III's coronation, the Duchess of Sussex was spotted hiking near her home in Montecito, sans husband Prince Harry — and appeared to be in a jovial mood.While Harry was in attendance at the coronation ceremony — after which he quickly left to return home to California — Meghan spent her Sunday getting some exercise with her close friends, Heather Dorak and Markus Anderson, as seen in photos obtained by Meghan was all smiles as she hiked with her pals and rocked black leggings and a matching black athleticwear top, under a green jacket. She went low-key in a Western hat and dark shades.The 41-year-old actress chose to stay behind at the couple's home and forego any coronation festivities for a number of reasons — first and foremost seems to be the fact that Saturday happened to be her and Harry's son, Archie's, fourth birthday.In fact, Archie's birthday was specifically mentioned in the announcement from Buckingham Palace last month, confirming that Harry would be attending his father's coronation but that Meghan would be skipping the historic event.

Headed home! Prince Harry is on his way back to California right after father King Charles III’s coronation ceremony.

Prince Harry looked happy and confident as he was joined by Mike Tindall and Princess Beatrice's husband Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi at King Charles' Coronation in London on Saturday. The Duke of Sussex, 38, who jetted into the UK from Los Angeles on Friday morning, with his wife Meghan Markle, 41, remaining in California, grinned from ear to ear as he was seen departing Westminster Abbey following the official crowning of his father and stepmother Camilla. Harry was pictured alongside former rugby player Mike, husband of Zara Tindall, and Beatrice's husband Edoardo, with the pair showing their support for the Duke of Sussex.

Prince Harry is taking a back seat, literally, on his father's historic coronation day. The 38-year-old author journeyed from his home in California to be in attendance at the coronation of King Charles III on Saturday at Westminster Abbey in the U.K., but in a moment not captured by TV cameras, Harry was spotted waiting alone for 10 minutes outside Westminster Abbey before getting in the back seat of a sedan and driving away. Meanwhile, his brother, Prince William, Kate Middleton and their children exited the church together, following the king and Queen Camilla in an elaborate processional back to Buckingham Palace.This after Harry was notably relegated to a seat in the third row of the abbey during the ceremony, two rows behind his brother's family.

Charles has spent his entire life preparing for his role as King, and today he will finally be crowned at a Coronation filled with pomp and ceremony.

Prince Harry has arrived in London just hours before his father, King Charles III, is crowned the new king.

All eyes will be on Harry as he faces his relatives in public for the first time since he criticised King Charles, Queen Camilla and the Prince and Princess of Wales in his tell-all memoir Spare.

Prince Harry has arrived in London just hours before his father, King Charles III, is crowned the new king.A source tells ET that Harry is in the UK after arriving Friday morning. What's more, the source says Harry is staying at Frogmore Cottage, but it won't be a long stay.

Prince Harry faces being ‘humiliated’ and ‘exposed’ at King Charles’ Coronation, according to a relationship expert. The Duke of Sussex, 38, is set to attend Saturday’s historic ceremony alone as wife Meghan Markle remains at home in the US with their children Princess Lilibet, one, and Prince Archie, who turns four on the same day.

Prince Harry, the Duke of Sussex has allegedly been phoning his father King Charles for "reassurances" ahead of next month's Coronation, with the "seating plan" topping his list of concerns.The 38 year old's presence was confirmed for the event earlier this month, although his wife Meghan Markle and their two children, Archie and Lilibet, will remain in the at their home in the USA. According to The Mirror's Russell Myers, who spoke to Sky News Australia, "homesick" Harry "does miss his family" despite the whirlwind of controversy that's been tailing him since the release of his Netflix docuseries, and will be keen to massage some bruised relationships. "It's very hard to see how that marriages up with his attitude," warned Myers.

Prince Harry was reportedly "desperate" to return home to the UK for his father King Charles III's Coronation next month. The Duke of Sussex, who flew back last month to attend his court case against Associated Newspapers, has reportedly not seen his father or brother Prince William, the Prince of Wales, since the week of the late Queen's funeral last September. And as the distance continued between the Royal Family, Harry and his wife Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, aired their scathing documentary series on Netflix.

Meghan Markle's decision to skip King Charles' Coronation next month could help Prince Harry mend his strained relationship with the royal family.

The late Queen Elizabeth II made Prince Harry feel "nervous" and "afraid", a royal expert has said, pointing out he used these very words in his bombshell memoir, Spare. It has previously been reported that Harry, 38 shared a close relationship with his grandmother, and even after he stepped down from his senior royal duties in 2020, it's thought he still managed to maintain a close bond with The Queen.

Following months of speculation around whether Prince Harry and his wife Meghan Markle would be attending the historic Coronation next month, it was finally confirmed last week the Duke of Sussex will be in the UK for the event.

Prince Harry is likely to find comfort in Princess Eugenie at King Charles' Coronation next month, as he is expected to get the cold shoulder from the rest of The Firm.

Prince Harry's plans to ditch King Charles' Coronation concert means he will also avoid an awkward run in with Katy Perry who is set to perform at the gig. The Duke of Sussex will be present at the official crowning ceremony but has told his father he will not be staying for the weekend of celebrations afterwards.

The "battling brothers" will allegedly keep their distance while putting on a united front for their father. On Wednesday, Buckingham Palace confirmed that Prince Harry will attend King Charles’ coronation, ending months of speculation about whether the Duke of Sussex would be welcomed following the publication of his explosive memoir "Spare." His wife, Meghan Markle, will remain at the couple’s home in California with their two young children, the palace said.The May 6 date of the coronation coincides with their son Prince Archie’s birthday.
