Prince Harry, the younger son of King Charles III, attended his father’s coronation in Westminster Abbey on Saturday, May 6, although he sat in the third row and did not appear on the Buckingham Palace balcony at the pinnacle of the celebration.

It had been unclear until early April whether Harry, who now lives in California, would attend the historic occasion following a falling out with his family.

A fly-past by military jets to celebrate the coronation of King Charles has been scaled back due to weather conditions, a spokesperson for the Ministry of Defence said on Saturday, May 6.

With low cloud and rain over Buckingham Palace, the fly-past due at 1330 GMT (9:30 pm Manila time) will now feature helicopters and the Red Arrows aerobatic team.

King Charles appeared on the balcony of Buckingham Palace with his wife Queen Camilla, heir to the throne Prince William and other senior royals but Prince Harry, the King’s younger son, was absent.

Harry, whose attendance at his father’s coronation was in doubt earlier this year after he detailed family rows in his memoir Spare, had no formal role in the ceremony.

Harry had attended the Westminster Abbey ceremony earlier on Saturday, May 6, without his wife Meghan and two young children, who remained in the United States. His eldest child Archie turns four on Saturday.

Commentators had said that if Harry had appeared with his family on the balcony, it would have been a sign that the two sides were reconciling after a rift.

King Charles and Queen Camilla appeared for a second time on the balcony to cheers from the crowd of tens of thousands of people who had packed into the Mall, the grand boulevard which leads up to Buckingham Palace.

After years of being depicted as the most hated woman in Britain, Camilla, the second wife of King Charles, was crowned queen on Saturday, May 6, capping a remarkable turnaround in public acceptance few would have thought possible.

When Charles’ divorced first wife, the popular, glamorous Princess Diana, died in a car crash in Paris in 1997, Camilla bore the brunt of media hostility. Some declared the couple could never wed.
