Prince Harry has arrived in London via a commercial flight to attend his father King Charles III's coronation, set to take place on Saturday at Westminster Abbey, as confirmed by Page Six. The grand event will see Prince Charles and his wife, Camilla, officially crowned as king and queen of the United Kingdom and other Commonwealth realms.
Buckingham Palace announced last month that Harry's wife, Meghan Markle, would not accompany him to the coronation. The Duchess of Sussex, 41, will remain in California with their two children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet. Archie's fourth birthday coincides with the coronation, leading to Meghan's decision to stay home.
A source informed Page Six that Harry plans to return to Los Angeles just two hours after the coronation to be present for his son's birthday celebrations. "Harry's going to make every effort to get back in time for Archie's birthday," an insider shared, adding that the prince would be flying commercial, as he did on his way to London.
Harry and Meghan faced significant criticism in September 2021 when they used a private jet after speaking at Global Citizen Live, an event in New York City advocating for climate change action. "They lecture us on our carbon footprint while taking private jets to polo matches," one critic tweeted. "Hypocrites don't unite people."
While in the UK, Harry will stay at Frogmore Cottage in Windsor, England. In March, Page Six reported that King Charles evicted Harry and Meghan from the estate to gift it to his brother, Prince Andrew. The duke and duchess' representatives confirmed they had been "requested" to "vacate their residence at Frogmore Cottage."
The eviction process began a day after the release of Harry's controversial memoir "Spare," in which he divulged secrets about the royal family, including a physical altercation with his brother Prince William. Royal expert Tom Bower told Page Six in March that Harry and Meghan "provoked" the eviction with the book and interviews. "Harry wanted the royal family to come on bended knee begging for forgiveness and he's completely crossed the spectrum, he's in the mad wilderness of deranged victimhood," Bower said.
Despite being removed from the royal residence, Harry appears to be staying at Frogmore Cottage during his visits to the UK. In April, he stayed there while on another trip to England.
