Buckingham Palace has unveiled a series of new official photographs capturing the moments following King Charles III’s coronation on Saturday.
The staged snapshots, taken just hours after the ceremony at Westminster Abbey, feature not only the 74-year-old monarch but also other prominent members of the royal family.
While the guest list and details of the ceremony are well-known, the suspense surrounding who would join the king on the balcony remained a mystery.
Among the individuals present in the photos were the newly crowned king and queen, as well as Prince William, his wife Kate, and their three children.
However, one notable absence caught the attention of royal watchers: Prince Harry.
Speculation suggests that senior royals refused to meet with him after he departed from Westminster Abbey.
It appears that Prince Charles and Prince William, who have yet to fulfill a crucial duty of the coronation, denied Harry the opportunity to appear in the official coronation picture.
Reports indicate that Prince Harry had a significant meeting prior to the coronation, which may have influenced the decision to exclude him.
The snub given to the two controversial princes has left many surprised.
The balcony photograph, a customary feature of royal celebrations such as birthdays, jubilees, weddings, and coronations, holds great significance and conveys a message.
A highly placed source revealed to Page Six that there is no chance Harry will be invited to join the rest of the family on the balcony.
Meanwhile, Zara Tindall, another member of the royal family, has shed light on why she was left out of the Buckingham Palace festivities.
Zara describes feeling completely isolated, with no one willing to engage in conversation or take pictures with her.
According to her, Prince Harry appeared arrogant and disinterested during the few hours he attended King Charles III’s coronation.
Zara claims that Harry showed no intention of paying tribute to his father or anyone else before swiftly returning to California.
During the Platinum Jubilee celebrations, however, Prince Harry and his wife, Meghan Markle, reportedly had a friendly chat with Zara Tindall.
The heartwarming interaction between Prince Harry and his beloved cousin was captured on camera as they met during King Charles’s coronation ceremony.
Accompanied by his other cousins, Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie, as well as their respective spouses, Prince Harry entered the service.
As they made their way into the abbey, Harry exchanged a greeting with Zara, who turned away from the rest of the group to acknowledge him.
Zara Tindall and her husband, former rugby professional Mike Tindall, are believed to be among the few remaining family members with whom Prince Harry maintains close ties.
Since stepping back from his royal duties in 2020, the prince’s relationships within the family have become strained.
Despite the tensions, the encounter between Harry and Zara at the coronation ceremony showcased a moment of warmth and connection amidst the ongoing controversies surrounding the royal family.
