LONDON, UK: Prince Harry was alls miles and pleasantries when he entered Westminster Abbey along with his cousins Princess Beatrice and Edoardo Mapelli Mozzie, and Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank ahead of his father King Charles' coronation on Saturday, May 6. The Duke of Sussex was seen enthusiastically welcoming attendees inside the Abbey prior to taking his seat. However, fans were keeping an eye out for one thing: Harry's reaction when when he first caught sight of his brother, Prince William, and Charles.
After Harry dropped a number of bombshells in his memoir 'Spare' and in the Netflix documentary, 'Harry & Meghan', people were all the more interested to see his reaction while he traveled from the US to the UK to attend the event. He did not have any formal role in the proceedings. He was wearing a suit and not the traditional uniform. Harry was not joined by Meghan MArkle, who stayed back with their children in the US.

There's a lot to be discussed and I really hope that they're willing to sit down and talk about it," Harry reportedly said.
