Prince Harry is not expected to appear on the coveted balcony of Buckingham Palace during King Charles III’s coronation on Saturday. One highly placed source tells Page Six there is “no way” that the renegade royal will be invited to join senior royals on the balcony. However, another royal source says, “The palace hasn’t said who will be going on the balcony yet. The one thing that is clear is that Charles loves his son, the emotions of the day may just overtake everything.”
Fans shouldn’t expect to see Prince Harry standing next to his father on the balcony of Buckingham Palace Saturday. The Duke of Sussex — who quit his royal duties with his wife Meghan Markle in 2020 — landed early in London Friday morning on a commercial American Airlines flight, and headed to his UK home, Frogmore House. It’s believed that he’s not seen his father since arriving in the UK.
Charles will undoubtedly be joined by Prince William, his wife, Princess Kate, and their children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis on the balcony. Princess Anne, Prince Edward, his wife, Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh, and their children are also set to stand with the King and Queen. An insider tells Page Six there is “no way” Harry will be joining King Charles and the rest of his estranged family for the photo op.
However, other think Charles might have a change of heart at the last minute. Harry is set to wear a morning suit for his trip to Westminster Abbey Saturday morning to watch his father crowned King and his stepmother Camilla crowned Queen, while his brother Prince William is expected to wear his military uniform.
The Daily Mail even reported that Harry won’t be invited to join in the official family photographs, or the family lunch after the coronation ceremony. As Page Six revealed, Harry is set to jet back to the US after the service to make it back in time for his son, Prince Archie’s fourth birthday, which is on the same day as the ceremony.
The Duke of Sussex traveled back home to the UK without wife Meghan Markle, who remains in California with their children. Markle — who also shares 1-year-old Princess Lilibet with Harry — is throwing a birthday party at home in Montecito, Calif., with her mother, Doria Rag
