Reconciliations between Prince Harry and the rest of the members of the royal family do not seem to be on the agenda. While the presence of the Duke of Sussex at the coronation of Charles III of England could be perceived as the mark of a desire for rapprochement between the two camps, his attitude obviously did not have the desired effect. Sidelined from a good part of the key moments of the day, the husband of Meghan Markle – remained in the United States for the birthday of his son Archie – appeared isolated and anxious during the coronation of his father.
Installed several rows behind his brother and his wife, Prince William and Kate Middleton, the youngest prince exchanged very little with the guests during the ceremony which took place in Westminster Abbey. A behavior that crown observers justify by several factors, starting with the simple fact that Prince Harry was anxious that day at the idea of being away from his family.
Angela Levin: “We lost it”
As a reminder, the coronation of Charles III took place on the same day as the fourth birthday of the son of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, little Archie. So, once the Archbishop of Canterbury had finished crowning Charles III of England, the Duke of Sussex was quick to turn on his heels to slip away from the ceremony. A flash passage which obviously aroused strong reactions among the assembly, starting with those of the king in person. Asked by our colleagues from Telegrama source close to the royal family said the king was saddened by his son’s hasty departure.
But the members of the royal family and their entourage are not the only ones to be affected by the attitude of the father of Archie and Lilibet. Indeed, among the observers of the crown, many are those who make the bitter observation of the one way trip that the youngest son of the king seems to take. Many of them fear that Prince Harry’s decision to break away from the royal family completely is a reality.
“Harry’s quick start was an affront. He left onlookers stunned, as he didn’t even stay long enough to congratulate the new king. The fact that he left so quickly shows that he will never return to the royal family. We lost it”estimates the royal expert Angela Levin in the columns of the Sun. The fact that he hadn’t made the effort to stay even an hour or two longer seemed to confirm his determination.
