Prince Harry will not wear a military uniform or robes for the coronation

Allegedly, the Duke will be relegated to the third row in the abbey, seated alongside his cousins, Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie.

And according to The Sun, he will be seated between Eugenie’s husband, Jack Brooksbank, and Princess Alexandra, Elizabeth II’s 86-year-old cousin.

Buckingham Palace chose not to reveal before the ceremony what the monarch will wear under the robes of state and estate.

However, it was widely rumored that he would likely wear a military uniform.

The Duke’s brother, the Prince of Wales, is also expected to wear the uniform.

At the coronation of Elizabeth II in 1953, peers were required to wear floor-length coronation robes.

For the king’s service, the peers were initially required to dress to match the tone of the ceremony before a last-minute U-turn indicated that they could wear robes if they wished.

This could mean that the Prince of Wales and other members of the royal family will choose to wear robes.

Prince Harry may not appear in coronation photos

Meanwhile, it emerged on Friday that Prince Harry may not appear in official coronation photos as he prioritizes a quick return to his family in California.

The duke was expected to arrive in the UK on Friday, just hours before the ceremony.

However, it will be a fleeting 24-hour visit as he rushes back in trying to see his son, Prince Archie, on his fourth birthday, which falls on the same day.

A source close to the Duke said he would “do everything he can” to attend as many events as possible on the day.

But he didn’t make any firm commitments because that would depend on how the time of day fell.

As a non-working royal, the duke will not take part in the grand procession from Westminster Abbey to Buckingham Palace alongside other family members and will not appear on the palace balcony.
