Pundits emphasized things like Prince Harry's dress code, his lack of ceremonial role and his seating placement ahead of the coronation, implying that these kinds of things might bother him. Fans were delighted to see photos where the prince smiled and seemed happy, apparently not thinking about those factors at all.
