The Duke of Sussex, who had previously stepped back from his role as a working royal, had not been seen in public with the rest of the royal family since the publication of his critical memoir, "Spare," earlier this year.
There had been speculation over whether Prince Harry would attend the coronation, as his relations with his family members are said to remain frosty. However, he did attend and was seated two rows behind his brother Prince William, wearing medals on his dark morning suit.
The fact that the coronation fell on Prince Harry's son Archie’s fourth birthday may have played a part in the Duchess of Sussex’s decision to stay away. During the service, Prince Harry was seen speaking the words, “God save King Charles. Long live King Charles.
May the king live for ever,” along with the other royals around him. However, he did not participate in the procession back to Buckingham Palace after the ceremony or appear on the balcony to acknowledge the crowds and witness the Red Arrows flypast. His absence was notable, especially given the presence of all the other working royals.
Despite no longer being a working royal, Prince Harry remains fifth in line to the throne, behind his brother Prince William and William's three children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis. His children, Archie and Lilibet, are sixth and seventh in line, respectively.
