Prince Harry’s hopes of being included in the official coronation portraits were dashed as he was excluded from the photo released by Buckingham Palace.
The highly anticipated pictures, taken by Hugo Bernand in the state rooms at Buckingham Palace, featured the king and queen alongside members of the working royal family.
However, Prince Harry was noticeably absent from the image, despite waiting for an hour at the palace.
The Duke of Sussex’s visit to Buckingham Palace was brief, lasting only half an hour before he departed for his flight from Heathrow Airport.
Reports suggest that Prince Harry did not have any contact with his family during his short visit.
It is believed that his trip to the palace was purely logistical, allowing him a moment away from the public eye following the two-hour coronation service at Westminster Abbey.
While the senior royals fulfilled their public duties during the procession and palace balcony appearance, Prince Harry made his way to Heathrow Airport.
Sources speculate that he may have been denied a meeting with senior royals, possibly due to King Charles and Prince William still being occupied with important tasks related to the ceremony.
Unfortunately, this meant that Prince Harry missed his opportunity to appear in the official coronation picture.
Prior to the coronation, Prince Harry reportedly had a significant meeting, which was later discussed in a conversation with Jack Brooksbank.
A lip reader analyzed their exchange, revealing Harry’s frustrations.
When asked about the meeting, Prince Harry expressed sadness and frustration, stating that he had tried talking to someone without success.
During their conversation, Prince Harry also confirmed that Meghan was not present at the coronation, indicating that the situation was less than ideal.
Jack attempted to lighten the mood by remarking that even he could handle the pressures of royal life, but Prince Harry dismissed the notion, claiming he didn’t have time for it anymore.
The lip reader also noted a cryptic response from Prince Harry, where he mentioned that the current situation was an eventuality.
This statement hints at the ongoing tensions within the royal family and the uncertainty surrounding Prince Harry’s future involvement.
Although Prince Harry’s absence from the official coronation portraits may raise eyebrows, it is clear that his visit to Buckingham Palace was purely logistical and did not involve any significant interactions with his family.
As the Duke of Sussex continues to navigate his new life outside of the royal fold, it remains to be seen how his relationship with the monarchy will unfold in the coming months.
