Interestingly, the Prince of Wales seemed to compound Prince Harry's concerns as the Duke found himself on the outskirts of the momentous ceremony. Breaking from convention, it was only William, the blood prince, who partook in the homage, while Harry sat in the third row, his eyes brimming with tears.
This departure from tradition, as noted by some historians and royal commentators, likely triggered an emotional response in Harry, who struggled to hold back his tears throughout the service. While William touched St Edward's Crown atop the King's head during the ceremony, Harry was deprived of the opportunity to pay tribute to his father due to his non-working royal status, which excluded him from any active role in the event.
Meanwhile, cameras captured the Duke of Sussex's initial reaction upon the arrival of his family as he warmly greeted and exchanged pleasantries with attendees inside the Abbey before taking his seat. Royal enthusiasts closely observed Harry's demeanor when he first caught sight of his elder brother, Prince William, and his father, King Charles.
Furthermore, speculations have arisen suggesting that William may deviate from the customary path when it comes to his own coronation ceremony. Royal editor Russell Myers speculated that the future king intends to showcase his progressive nature by breaking away from royal traditions, demonstrating that he is a "modern man."
