Prince Harry’s ‘quick’ coronation visit revealed as he tries to make best of both world

Prince Harry accepted King Charles’ £50 million more expensive coronation than Queen Elizabeth's earlier this month. However, it was confirmed that the Duke will be travelling alone for his father’s coronation and his wife Meghan Markle would stay back in the States to organise Prince Archie’s birthday party. King Charles has, reportedly, been ‘understanding’ that Meghan Markle would be staying back home.

Prince Harry’s ‘quick’ coronation visit

Amongst speculations regarding where would Prince Harry stay and his need for more security after his memoir Spare, a source has revealed that Prince Harry’s visit to his homeland would be short and quick. According to The Sun, the Duke - who is suing the publication - will be in and out of the country in less than 24 hours.

A Royal Insider claimed:

Harry will be in and out of the UK in 24 hours. He will only be doing the Coronation service and leaving.

The coronation ceremony will start at 11am and end at 1pm so Prince Harry is expected to be in the air by 2-3pm. The motivation for his ‘quick’ visit is understood to be home in time for Prince Archie’s birthday. The father-of-two is expected to spend ten hours travelling 5,000 miles and land back home by early evening local time.

Adding on about Prince Harry’s concerns regarding his security - as evidenced by his long ongoing battle with the home office - Tessa emphasised the Duke has nothing to worry about. She explained:

The amount of money that is being spent on security in and out of that abbey which is going to be the main bit, you’ve got some of the most significant politicians in the world coming, so I don't think Harry needs to worry too much.

She also added:

I think he’ll be sat with royals such as Eugenie and Zara.
