It is believed Prince Harry is spending the night at Frogmore Cottage, possibly for the last time as he and the family have been evicted from the cottage. He will attend his father’s coronation, and he is expected to fly out within 24 hours, as soon as the ceremonies are finished, to be home in time to celebrate Archie’s fourth birthday.
Prince Harry will not be appearing on the balcony with the other royals following the coronation. The Mail quotes sources saying neither will he attend the family lunch, or the procession, and he won’t be in the official photos. Buckingham Palace has confirmed that neither Prince Harry nor Prince Andrew, who are both no longer working royals, will play a role during the service.
But there’s no doubt, all eyes will be on the Prince Harry and the family, and the interaction between them before, during and after the service. This will be the first time Harry has been seen in the company of the Royal family since his tell-all memoir Spare was published, and since his spoken criticism in various interviews and documentaries.
Harry has already said he has enough information to publish a follow-up book, which is unlikely to help mend the broken bridges with family.
