By India Today World Desk: Prince Harry will be seated ten rows behind other senior royals at the coronation of his father King Charles III on May 6, former butler Paul Burrell told GB News. Princess Diana’s former butler told the British news agency that “there is no chance of reconciliation” and the Duke of Sussex will “be in and out in a flash”.
Burrell said Prince Harry is “coming to show face” and his presence at the coronation is because King Charles wants him there. “His father will be delighted that both his sons will be there to witness this incredible day in his life. But Harry is not going to hang around,” he added.

The former butler of the British Royal Household said Prince Harry “doesn’t want to spend much time around them (the Royal family).” Reports said Harry will skip the post-coronation lunch and fly back to the US for his son Archie’s fourth birthday.
Earlier, it was revealed that Prince Harry would attend his father’s coronation without his wifeMeghan Markle. The Sussex’s representatives had said Meghan would remain in California with their children Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.

Following this, The Telegraph published a report saying the reason behind Meghan Markle’s absence from the ceremony was an “unsatisfactory response” from King Charles to correspondence from her side following the March 2021 Oprah Winfrey interview where she alleged that members of the Royal family had concerns about her unborn son’s skin colour.
However, a day later, Ashley Hansen, the representative of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex told Harpers Bazaar that the claims are “ridiculous.”

“The Duchess of Sussex is going about her life in the present, not thinking about correspondence from two years ago related to conversations from four years ago. Any suggestion otherwise is false and frankly ridiculous. We encourage tabloid media and various royal correspondents to stop the exhausting circus that they alone are creating,” said Hansen.
In January this year, Prince Harry denied calling the British Royal family “racist” and said it was the “British press” who did it. “The difference between racism and unconscious bias..the two things are different,” he said, when asked if Meghan’s remark on comments on Archie’s skin colour would essentially be described as racist.
