This morning, Prince Harry made his entrance at the coronation of his father, King Charles III, alongside several family members, including cousins Zara Tyndall, Princess Beatrice, and Princess Eugenie.
The atmosphere inside Westminster Abbey was tense, especially for Harry, who found himself seated two rows behind his brother, Prince William, and sister-in-law Kate Middleton.
As the ceremony progressed, cameras captured Harry glancing over at William, giving what some might call a dramatic side-eye.
Speculation arose about why the royal family seemed to keep their distance from Harry.
Eyewitness accounts suggested that Harry was wearing microphones during the service, which could explain the chilly reception he received from his relatives.
According to Ayanna Eppers on Quora, many sources confirmed that Harry was indeed mic’d up, leading to an apparent avoidance by the rest of the royals.
Dressed sharply in a black suit from Dior, Harry’s outfit included a wool and mohair peak lapel tailcoat, complemented by a matching vest and trousers.
He completed the look with a crisp white shirt and a grey tie.
However, throughout the service, he appeared restless, frequently adjusting his collar and tie.
Observers noted a rectangular box protruding from the back of his jacket, raising eyebrows and suggesting he was well-equipped for audio recording.
The royal family seemed particularly wary of Harry’s presence, likely concerned that he might try to capture private conversations.
While they engaged with Princess Anne‘s children, it was clear that conversations with Harry were off the table.
The distance between him and the rest of the family spoke volumes, as they avoided even eye contact with him during the ceremony.
Harry reportedly felt humiliated by the seating arrangement, believing he deserved a better spot closer to King Charles and Prince William.
The awkwardness was palpable, with reports indicating that it appeared as if Harry was trying to capture juicy family moments, but his efforts would likely be in vain.
The royals were on high alert, ensuring that no one interacted with him.
Adding to the intrigue, there were rumors that another family member, Edo, may have been wearing a recording device of their own, further complicating the family dynamics.
The suspicion surrounding Harry’s intentions seemed to cast a shadow over the entire event, leading to a lack of communication between him and the rest of the royals.
Meanwhile, Meghan Markle remained absent from the coronation, choosing instead to celebrate their son Archie‘s birthday at home in California.
Details about the celebration were scarce, but sources indicated it was a low-key affair attended by Meghan’s mother, Doria Ragland.
Journalist Omid Scobie shed light on Meghan’s decision to skip the coronation, stating that she was also focused on protecting her peace amidst the ongoing media scrutiny.
As the day unfolded, it became evident that the coronation was not just a ceremonial event but also a stage for underlying family tensions.
With Netflix having invested heavily in Harry and Meghan’s story, the lack of interaction during the coronation suggests that the anticipated return on investment may not materialize as hoped.
In the end, the coronation served as a stark reminder of the complexities within the royal family.
With microphones in play and a palpable sense of unease, it was clear that this was more than just a celebration of a new king; it was a reflection of the intricate web of relationships that define the British monarchy today.
