While preparations for the historic event have been finalized, there are still speculations about where the Duke of Sussex will sit during the ceremony at Westminster Abbey.
Katie Nicholl, a royal expert, believes that Prince Harry, who will be attending the crowning ceremony of his father and stepmother alone, will be included in the coronation seating plan. She stated that he is a family member, the King's second son, and is coming over for the Coronation, so he can't be hidden behind a pillar.
Meanwhile, another royal historian and expert, Gareth Russell, suggests that where Prince Harry is placed within the Abbey will send a message to the world about how he is being treated by his family.
He advises that the palace should put Harry up close and center, as it would not look good if he is not given a prominent position.
It could be seen as petty, even if it's for a reason of state or politics. Russell emphasizes that this is an occasion of state and of theology as much as anything else, but it's also something with an eye to the visual and how it will play out in the world.
Prince Harry, who has had a strained relationship with some of his royal relatives, will be honored by his 74-year-old monarch father, who will be there to support him.
Harry will be traveling to the UK alone, as his wife Meghan Markle will be staying behind at their home in California with their children Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet. However, as of now, Prince Harry has not been told where he will be sitting during the ceremony.
