During the coronation, the Duke of Sussex was present alongside other members of the royal family, while his wife Meghan Markle remained in California with their children.
The unexpected interaction between Harry and Anne during the coronation has sparked a debate in the British media. Some individuals are trying to discern the reasons behind the Princess Royal's friendly behavior towards her nephew.
Observers noticed the pair engaged in conversation and laughter prior to the ceremony at Westminster Abbey.
Renowned royal expert Jennie Bond suggests that the Princess Royal displayed amiability towards her nephew due to the nature of the event. In an interview with OK! magazine, Bond speculated that Anne was likely "very unhappy" and "absolutely furious" with Harry. However, the coronation was not the appropriate time or place to discuss recent events, such as the Netflix documentary and the Duke's tell-all book, Spare.
Bond stated, "Rather than causing a public scene, it was entirely natural for her to stop and chat with her nephew, with whom I believe she had a good relationship over the years."
She further added, "While Anne may have put her personal feelings aside to be amiable, I'm certain she's deeply upset by the harm Harry has caused to the royal reputation, especially considering her own diligent work within the monarchy."
According to express.co.uk, Princess Anne is often referred to as the "hardest working royal" due to her numerous royal engagements throughout the year.
