While the streets of the UK are thriving with the coronation event, on the other hand, it seems that the Duke of Sussex is having a hard time feeling far from the family he grew up with. Because he did not join his royal family on the balcony of Buckingham Palace during the coronation of King Charles III on Saturday.
That is because he is no longer a working king. Instead, active royals like Prince William, Kate Middleton, and their children, Prince George, 9, Princess Charlotte, 8, and Prince Louis, 5, joined King Charles and Queen Camilla.
Harry, who was sitting in the third row for the coronation, soon got ready to go back when he returned to California to be with Meghan Markle and their two children, Prince Archie , 4, and Princess Lilibet, 1. So that he could get there in time to celebrate his son’s birthday.
Prince Harry, who does not work royally because he gave up his title
The palace revealed on April 12 that Prince Harry would be present for his father’s coronation while his wife, Meghan, would skip the historic event to be with her children in California.
The Duke of Sussex, 38, and the Duchess of Sussex, 41, are known for shocking the world by stepping down as royals. As a result, they were not allowed to participate in the coronation in an official capacity.
Prince Harry and Meghan relinquished their titles
A thin line of controversy was created when Prince Harry relinquished his title after marriage to live as a commoner rather than perform royal duties. In addition, the recurring events caused a great divide between the two, such as:
A month later, the couple dragged the royal family to a shocking interview with Oprah Winfrey. Which led members of the royal family to open up, where they were put under the radar for the first time.
Since then, they have continued to criticize the monarchy in both Harry’s shocking memoir “Spare” and their 2022 Netflix docuseries.
While Harry and Meghan made the decision to stay away from royal life, their children received the titles of prince and princess in March.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle lost their place on the balcony at the late Queen’s Platinum Jubilee.
The Sussexes were conspicuously missing from the balcony last year while the late Queen’s Platinum Jubilee celebrations were taking place.
For the same reason that Harry was not present at the appearance of Charles after the coronation, they were left out.
However, this time, along with other working members of the royal family, William, 40, Middleton, 41, and their three children were once again seen shaking down their subjects.
