Prince William won’t even look in Harry’s direction at Coronation

Prince William is unlikely to even “look in [Prince] Harry’s direction” at the Coronation as the feuding brothers are set to come face-to-face. Royal expert and commentator Daniela Elser has suggested that Zara Tindall and her husband, Mike, “better be brushing up on their small talk” as the pair are highly likely to be “forced” to be the ones to speak to Harry on May 6.

Writing in her latest column on news.com.au, Ms Elser wrote that Zara and Mike are likely to have to “save Harry from the extreme discomfort of not having a senior member of his family make eye contact, let alone speak to him”.

She added that a “cheerful” Princess Eugenie could also be on hand to “lend a hand here too”.

The commentator went on to add that the likelihood of William looking in “Harry’s direction” is “about as likely as Queen Camilla chucking a sickie on the day to catch up on Succession and raid Prince Philip’s collection of stouts”.

Ms Elser added that this will be played out as “hundreds of people watch on”.

She added that Harry is likely to be “blanked” by “two people who are his closest blood relatives”, referring to his brother and father.

Tensions were already running high at the late Queen’s Platinum Jubilee celebrations last June. Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were spotted standing outside Westminster Abbey talking to Zara and Mike Tindall after the service.

Harry will join the family for the Coronation next month, which is expected to be a very short trip. He will likely only attend the actual ceremony at Westminster Abbey and no other celebratory events.

The King and Queen Camilla’s balcony appearance is understood to have been finalised to a “final group of 15” working royals, which doesn’t include Harry.

The group to join the newly crowned King and Queen will represent the “heartbeat and future of [the] family”, according to reports.

It is set to include the Prince and Princess of Wales, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis and the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh.

Princess Anne and her husband, Sir Timothy Laurence are expected to join the balcony appearance.

More senior royals, such as the Duke of Kent, Princess Alexandra, and the Duchess and Duchess of Gloucester have also said to be chosen to join the King and Queen Camilla.

Although Harry is confirmed to join the Royal Family on May 6, Meghan Markle has chosen to “remain in California”.

The mother-of-two is staying home to look after the couple’s two children, Archie and 22-month-old Lilibet – particularly with the day clashing with Archie’s fourth birthday.

According to an article published by PEOPLE magazine, Meghan is going to spend the “weekend celebrating” with her son and his little sister.
