Prince Harry sits during King Charles’ coronation but stays off the balcony

The younger son of King Charles III, Prince Harry, was present for his father’s coronation on Saturday in Westminster Abbey, but he sat in the third row and skipped the grand finale on the Buckingham Palace balcony.

Harry, who now resides in California after having a very public falling-out with his family, has not yet decided whether or not to attend the historic event as of early April.

The 38-year-old Afghan War veteran of the army showed up to the abbey happy, wearing a morning suit, and sporting his medals on his chest. His wife Meghan and their two small kids stayed in the country.

The successor to the kingdom, William, bowed before his father to pledge his fealty as his “liege man of life and limb,” a gesture that was met with applause from spectators outside. He had no official role in the rite and only observed.

Later, when Charles and Camilla joined William and his family, two of Charles’ siblings, and the page boys from the service to wave to the audience, he was not present on the palace balcony.

Also absent from the balcony was Charles’ disgraced brother Andrew, who was forced to resign from his royal duties due to his association with the late Jeffrey Epstein, a billionaire and convicted sex offender.
