She said that she and other onlookers had a great deal invested in the King's wonderful celebration.

Jack Brooksbank was praised for how he handled Prince Harry before, during and after the coronation ceremony. Fans saw that he treated Princess Eugenie's cousin like a sincere friend, flashing genuine smiles and having quiet conversations.

While his wife Meghan Markle stayed in Los Angeles with their children, Archie and Lilibet, Prince Harry went to his father's coronation ceremony alone. Prince Harry left the abbey by himself in a car shortly after the coronation ceremony was over and drove to the airport to fly home to the United States.
