Following the coronation ceremony, reports emerged claiming that Prince Harry made a discreet stop at Buckingham Palace for logistical reasons during his brief visit to Britain.
The Duke of Sussex reportedly entered and exited the palace without encountering any senior members of the Royal Family.
It is said that Prince Harry spent less than 30 minutes at the Palace after the service at Westminster Abbey before heading to Heathrow Airport to return to the United States.
He was spotted leaving the A4 at 1:50 and arriving at Heathrow at 2 o’clock, with the timings suggesting a quick pit stop at Buckingham Palace following the ceremony.
The news comes in the wake of King Charles III expressing regret over Prince Harry’s absence and raising a toast to those who were not present at the Royal Family’s celebratory lunch.
Prince Harry did not join the Royal Household for the formal coronation photos or the coronation concert as he had to depart for California the following morning.
Sources informed The Telegraph that Prince Harry’s lack of involvement was practical, as he was eager to reunite with his wife and children in the United States while the rest of the family was engaged in the coronation festivities.
Since the Queen’s funeral last year, Prince Harry has not been seen at the Palace, and neither King Charles III nor Prince William are known to have crossed paths with him during his recent visits to Britain for court appearances.
At the coronation ceremony in Westminster Abbey, Prince Harry was seated two rows behind his brother Prince William, dressed in a dark morning suit with his Afghanistan and Jubilee medals on display.
King Charles III toasted his grandchildren, including Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis, during the luncheon, acknowledging their presence at the event.
Regarding speculations about Prince Harry’s visit, Buckingham Palace chose not to comment on the matter.
Meanwhile, Dr. Shala Mo’s Shagba Mimoo faced backlash for a tweet criticizing a new image of Queen Camilla shared by the Royal Family.
In the tweet, Dr. Shala raised concerns about the presence of what she claimed were racist statues in the background of the photo featuring Queen Camilla at Buckingham Palace during the coronation.
However, she later retracted her statement, admitting her mistake and clarifying that the figures in the background were not Black Amour statues as she initially thought.
Dr. Shala emphasized the importance of ensuring that any artifacts or depictions with racist connotations are removed and preserved in museums to prevent history from repeating itself.
The controversy surrounding racially charged imagery, such as Black Amour statues, has sparked debates on cultural sensitivity and historical representation.
Princess Michael of Kent’s past incident involving a Black Amour brooch reignited discussions on the portrayal of African heritage in art, highlighting the ongoing efforts to address racially insensitive depictions in contemporary society.
