Prince Harry and Prince Andrew arrive at King’s coronation

Prince Harry and Prince Andrew arrive at King's coronation

Prince Harry and Prince Andrew have arrived at the King’s coronation, entering Westminster Abbey just before 10.40am.

The Duke of Sussex was all smiles, chatting to his cousin Princess Beatrice and her husband Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi as he walked into the abbey.

The Duke of York was with the same group, which also included the Princess Royal, Princess Eugenie, and her husband Jack Brooksbank.

Neither Prince Harry or Prince Andrew have a formal role in the ceremony.

Prince Harry did not wear any form or military or ceremonial clothing, but instead wore a dark suit with medals pinned to his suit jacket.

Prince Andrew wore ceremonial robes of the Order of the Garter, despite not being a working member of the royal family. He had waved from the car to the crowds as he was driven to the abbey.

After much speculation as to where Prince Harry would be seated in the abbey, he was positioned in the third row, two rows behind his brother the Prince of Wales.

His uncle, the Duke of York, was also in the third row, seated at the the other end from Prince Harry.

William and Kate sat in the front row for the historic ceremony, with their children Prince George and Princess Charlotte.

It is the first time Prince Harry has been seen with his relatives in public since he criticised Charles, the Queen, William and the Princess of Wales in his memoir, Spare.

Harry and Andrew will not form part of the procession behind the Gold State Coach carrying the newly crowned King and Queen from Westminster Abbey back to Buckingham Palace following the two-hour ceremony.

Harry is expected to attend only the abbey ceremony before returning to the US.

Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, has stayed at home in Los Angeles to be with the couple’s son Prince Archie on his fourth birthday.
