Prince Harry has made a surprise arrival in London via a commercial flight ahead of his father’s official coronation today.
The Duke of Sussex landed at London Heathrow Airport yesterday morning, shocking passengers on American Commercial Airlines Flight A136 as he traveled from Los Angeles to London.
According to reports, Prince Harry will be seated in the third row during the procession at Westminster Abbey, alongside Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie, whom he holds in high regard since stepping away from the Royal Family.
It has been confirmed that Prince Harry will be attending his father’s coronation without Meghan Markle, who will be staying in the US to celebrate their son Archie‘s fourth birthday.
His visit is expected to be brief, focusing solely on the coronation ceremony without participating in any other related activities.
Despite his military background, Prince Harry will not be donning a military uniform for the occasion but will opt for a mourning suit instead.
Following his appearance at the Abbey’s party, Prince Harry will swiftly return to California to join his family in celebrating Archie’s birthday.
This reunion marks Harry’s first public encounter with his relatives after the controversial revelations made in his memoirs.
Despite his military service and tours in Afghanistan, Prince Harry was not permitted to wear his uniform at the Queen’s funeral last year, emphasizing his non-active role within the royal family.
Reports indicate that Prince Harry did not make specific requests regarding his attire for the coronation and is willing to comply with the established protocol.
Positioned in the third row alongside Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie, Harry’s presence at the event will undoubtedly attract significant attention as he navigates interactions with his family members in a public setting.
As preparations for the coronation progress, speculations arise about King Charles‘ sentiments towards the public acknowledgment of his reign.
Jonathan Dimbleby, a close confidant of the King, suggested that Charles may feel uneasy about receiving public allegiance.
The ceremony is expected to culminate with Archbishop Justin Welby placing Saint Edward’s crown on Charles’ head, prompting the traditional declaration of loyalty from the attendees.
In conclusion, Prince Harry’s discreet arrival in London sets the stage for a poignant reunion with his family during his father’s coronation.
As he adheres to protocol by opting for a mourning suit over a military uniform, Harry’s presence in the third row at Westminster Abbey symbolizes his evolving relationship with the Royal Family.
Amidst the ceremonial proceedings, all eyes will be on Prince Harry as he navigates this pivotal moment in his ongoing journey of personal and familial reconciliation.
