As Marie Claire reported recently, Prince Harry—who is in attendance this morning at his father King Charles’ Coronation—was mired in another uniform debacle ahead of the ceremony: Would he or wouldn’t he be allowed to wear one? (Harry served in the British Army for 10 years and undertook two tours of duty in Afghanistan.) The answer has emerged, People reports, and the Duke of Sussex is wearing a morning suit to today’s event, the outlet reports.
People reported “Harry was asked to wear a morning suit—and he was happy to go along with the request.”
Harry has no formal role in today’s ceremony and will not take
part in the procession from Westminster Abbey to Buckingham Palace, nor will
he take part in the balcony appearance at the Palace. During the service at
the Abbey, Harry is expected to sit nearby cousins Princess Beatrice and
Princess Eugenie, the latter of whom he is particularly close to.
Harry reportedly arrived in the U.K. just yesterday and will
take a flight home to California within two hours of the ceremony ending
this afternoon. People reports that the transatlantic trip of more than
5,400 miles is about an 11-hour nonstop flight, and, with the time
difference, he will be home in California by evening, the goal being in
enough time to celebrate son Prince Archie’s fourth birthday, which is also
today. Archie is at home with sister Princess Lilibet and mother Meghan
Markle, who opted not to attend today’s Coronation.
