Prince Harry Left out of Major Coronation Moment

Prince Harry was missing from one important part of the Coronation of King Charles III and Camilla on Saturday and many fans were concerned that it was some kind of sleight. The immediate members of the royal family gathered for a public appearance and photo ops on the balcony of Buckingham Palace on Saturday after the coronation was over. Prince Harry was not among them, but according to a report by Page Six this was his own choice.

King Charles and Queen Camilla posed on the balcony with all the “working royals” on Saturday, including their heirs Prince William and Kate Middleton. Prince Harry was not there but not because he is no longer a working royal. He reportedly left the U.K. as soon as the coronation ceremony was over to get back to his own family in the U.S. The prince had just enough time to get back for his son Prince Archie’s fourth birthday celebration on the same day.

Prince Harry came to the U.K. alone for the coronation while his wife stayed at home in California with 4-year-old Archie and 1-year-old Lilibet. While he smiled and cheered with the other dignitaries during the big ceremony, he did not stay long and did not participate in much of the pageantry. The 38-year-old prince has not made any further comments on his abrupt departure.

Royal finds on Amazon for the coronation:

Not only are there T-shirts, pillows, broaches, bags, candles and cups decorated with the new British king’s face, but former Apple designer Jony Ive also created a custom coronation emblem for the historic event. It’s printed on many coronation souvenirs and gifts. Buckingham Palace also released a brand-new royal crown emoji and hashtags for use all over social media to commemorate the day.

Get the kids in on the fun with a coronation-themed coloring book — ahem, colouring book — and they can enjoy 40 pages of crowns, jewels, tea cups, cakes, flags and more. It’s designed by an actual British author named Sam Smith.

For whatever reason, Oxford Press is also releasing a coronation edition of the Bible. It’s the King James Version, and in addition to the scripture inside, the Bible also features the King’s royal cypher on the cover, a special gifting bookplate and four color images of Westminster Abbey, the coronation chair, King Charles and Queen Camilla.

King Charles III commemorative mug

This is the coronation emblem created by former Apple designer Jony Ive, and I actually, genuinely love it. It’s minimalist, clean and understated without being simplistic. The mug is made of strong ceramic, making it shatter-resistant, stain-resistant and heat-resistant. Patriotic Brits or British-loving Americans would love having this coffee cup in their collection.

You can also get a tasteful lawn flag with the same emblem against the Union Jack if you’re interested in showing off your British pride to all your friends and neighbors.

This funny printed T-shirt has a touch of irreverence, but not too much. It’s just the thing to wear while you’re throwing back a couple of brews at the pub and watching a football game (think Ted Lasso, not NFL) with some buds on coronation day. It’s available in 10 color options in men’s, women’s and youth sizes from XS to 3XL.

If you’re looking for other coronation T-shirt options, you can get a similar funny T-shirt featuring a corgi (the late Queen Elizabeth’s favorite) or a T-shirt with the official coronation logo, too.
