Prince Harry was recently spotted at Westminster Abbey during the coronation of King Charles III, shooting a furious look at his brother, Prince William.
The Duke, positioned two rows behind the Prince of Wales, seemed visibly upset with his sibling.
In contrast, William sat in the front row next to his wife Catherine and their two children, surrounded by other working royals.
This stark contrast in seating arrangements raises questions about the strained relationship between the two brothers.
The reason for Prince Harry’s exclusion from the immediate family and his placement two rows behind his brother can be attributed to his decision to step down from his royal duties.
This move resulted in him losing his status as a senior member of the royal family.
Furthermore, the release of his best-selling memoir, “Spare,” where he shared personal grievances and palace secrets, further strained his relationship with his father and brother, leading to his isolation from the family.
Adding to the tension, Prince Harry attended the coronation without his wife Meghan Markle, who remained in the United States for the occasion.
It appears that those hoping for a reconciliation between the two brothers during this significant event would have been disappointed.
Throughout the ceremony, there was no interaction or communication observed between the siblings, indicating that their relationship remains strained.
During the wait for the arrival of the rest of the royal family, Prince Harry found himself seated alongside Jack Brooksbank, Princess Eugenie’s husband, and Princess Alexandra, a cousin of the late Queen Elizabeth II.
While waiting, Harry and Jack engaged in a lengthy conversation, during which Harry expressed his frustration, saying, “It’s sad I’m fed up.
I’ve tried talking to him.”
However, when Princess Anne walked past him to her seat in the second row, Harry greeted her with a polite smile.
Later on, Harry and Jack had another conversation while waiting for the arrival of Prince Charles and Camilla.
In this exchange, Jack asked Harry about Meghan, to which Harry replied with a hint of disappointment, saying, “No, she’s that.”
Jack then questioned further, and Harry confirmed, “It’s not ideal.”
The conversation continued, with Jack expressing his own lack of time for certain things, to which Harry cryptically responded, “It’s an eventuality.”
During the coronation ceremony, Prince William played a prominent role, pledging his loyalty to his father and even kissing him on the cheek.
Their son, Prince George, also had a role as a pageboy, assisting with carrying the train of King Charles III’s robes.
In contrast, Prince Harry had a minimal role and did not participate in the Golden Carriage procession or join the royal family on the Buckingham Palace balcony.
Body language expert Darren Stanton, representing Betfair Bingo, analyzed Prince Harry’s demeanor throughout the ceremony.
Stanton noted that while Harry appeared confident and elated at times, there were fleeting moments of sadness in his facial expressions, particularly as King Charles passed him during the procession.
It seemed that Harry experienced a sense of nostalgia and felt slightly out of sync compared to everyone else.
However, Stanton also observed a self-pacifying gesture from Harry, as he adjusted his sleeves to reassure himself.
As the ceremony progressed, Prince Harry seemed to relax and gain more confidence, resembling his initial arrival.
Despite the challenges he faced, Harry displayed signs of emotion and compassion throughout the event.
While his relationship with Prince William remains strained, it is clear that Harry navigated the coronation with a mix of conflicting emotions.
