Prince Harry and Anne, Princess Royal share sweet moment

The coronation on Saturday saw Prince Harry make a long awaited return to the UK.

Many were wondering where the Duke of Sussex would be sitting during the ceremony, especially after the drama surrounding the release of his book Spare.

In the end, Harry sat three rows back, meaning he wasn’t on the same row as William or Kate.

However, he was only one row behind his aunt, Princess Anne. And despite rumours of tension between Harry and the royals, but things seemed to be fine between him and Anne.

When their paths crossed at Westminster Abbey, Princess Anne and Prince Harry were all smiles with each other. The Princess Royal stopped and had a chat with her nephew, before taking her seat directly in front of him for the ceremony.

Prince Harry headed home

The Duke of Sussex didn’t stick around after the ceremony.

According to reports, Harry left the service straight away to head to Heathrow Airport. He reportedly headed back to the US to his family as it was Prince Archie’s birthday. The young prince is four years old on May 6.

According to the publication, Harry left Westminster Abbey at around 1:15pm. He was driven to Heathrow, repotedly arriving at the airport at 2.05pm. He is then said to have gone to the VIP Windsor Suite at Terminal 5.

Elsewhere, lip readers revealed some of the remarks Harry made during the ceremony.

According to the Mirror, a lip reader claimed Harry said “hello”, “morning” and “nice to see you” to various people at the ceremony. He also said “look at that” when marveling at the grand aspect of the occasion. He also described it as “delightful”.

“Loved seeing Prince Harry again! Time to rush off home for Prince Archie’s birthday,” one royal fan tweeted.
