What would Harry’s role in the Coronation have been?

[UnsureSchool32]

I was wondering if Harry was a working Royal what would his role in the Coronation have been (of course that means he didn’t go to the US etc) would he and Meghan walked behind Kate and William?

I don't know know about the others because they keep their gobs shut. But I do know that Harry has said things that are not true and admitted he misremembers events but thinks his unreliable memories are as valid as objective facts.
And I know all that because he can't stop bloomin' yakking.

Bad people often like gobs shut as there’s shit to hide. He obviously feels there are huge problems with their family and the way they handled things between themselves and with the press. He’s free to talk about it if he likes. Who cares? You don’t have to listen and they aren’t your family.

He stuck up for himself By throwing his brother and sister in law under the bus even though there is no evidence whatsoever that they leaked against harry or Meghan.

No he doesn't need to shut up, but he didn't need to humiliate his brother, by talking about his private parts or that his brother was going bald and losing his resemblance to his mother, nor did he have to make william seem like such a villain when he also lost his mother and had to endure his own trauma with the media. Also, harry talking about William’s kids like they need harry‘s protection is totally not cool. He went too far and it’s only right that william and his family have decided to go no contact with him. If Meghan can do that to her own family because of what they did to her, surely it’s only right that the people who Harry has shit on should do the same to him.

It’s only right that Harry was chucked into the third row. He’s a non working royal, who has said shit about William and his family. Why should william and Kate and their kids be forced to sit next to Harry or anywhere close to him? That’s just abusive. Also, what does that even mean to make it more inclusive? Charles was under no obligation to have harry on the balcony, not after what he did. At least with Edward and Sophie, they have shown themselves to be supportive team players who don’t go running to the media when they feel they’ve been slighted by the family like Harry does. Why should they force themselves to be close to him when he hasn’t shown any respect for them?

You mean like choosing to go home to your postpartum wife instead of sleeping over so your brother won’t be alone the night before his wedding day? That shitty thing?

Harry looked happy and smiling when he arrived. Happy and smiling with the people he was sitting next to and his aunt Anne, and happy and smiling outside the church and getting into his car afterwards.

And he's going home to a lovely family.

He's looking healthy and relaxed (and was wearing a perfect suit).

I think Harry is doing just fine.

Ha - the day after coronation and Harry still the main topic of conversation and no positive thread about Charles and Camilla yesterday.

Yes I thought Harry looked fine and happy by the way - did his bit and glad he's home now.

I thought Harry looked very uncomfortable, he was smiling energetically in a rather false-looking way but that's to be expected

I’m just surprised he had the cheek to show up considering how bad he thinks of his family.

In older times he would have been defined a traitor and most likely executed. These days he is allowed a place to placate his supporters and he is using it as he knows that his money just comes from gossiping about his family.

Very good point. He's happy, leave it alone

I havent much time for Harry ,but I think he looks troubled . He has cast himself off from his family, and Left himself quite vulnerable.If he and Megan split in the future he would have no one.I wonder if he regrets his decision to spill the beans and upset his RL(Saw on the news that apparently PA gave him a big smile though) If he had not gone to America ,then I think he would be behind PW ,and accept this as he has always done before

Thanks for your thoughts! Yes I guess the day was very much about KC (of course!!) therefore Harry’s role could have been like DofE’s just dressed up.

Just read this in the Independant

‘In previous coronations, dukes would have paid the homage to the monarch during the ceremony. Sticking to this tradition would have meant the Duke of Sussex, the Duke of York and the Duke of Edinburgh having to pleged allegiance to King Charles today.

So it makes me think DofE was like leave me out KC so you don’t have to have the other two and just make it PW. Although sure DofE could have done it too. Then there are cousins etc and people (Dukes) would start feeling left out!

He would still not have a major role in the coronation, maybe he would have worn something different but that’s about it. He looked fine, happy to be sitting with people he gets on with and in the clips I’ve seen happy and smiling. I wish the public would just let them sort this out without the constant need to inflame their relationships. Harry stepped down from the family firm and this is the role he asked for. No big deal. Other members of the family have minor roles in things too.

He's a non-working royal. They just had working royals on the balcony (plus some children). I think just having working royals is a good clear cut off, otherwise you have loads of cousins and spouses trying to fit on.

And sitting in the third row is fine when the first two rows were working royals (again, plus some children).

It was a state occasion, not a personal one. Were he still a working royal, he and Meghan would probably have been where Edward and Sophie were.

He was certainly gurning furiously but if Harry really was 'happy' yesterday, after everything that he has done and the way most people feel about him, he would have to be some sort of sociopath. It was not a 'happy' situation for him.

If they hadn't left the RF, they would definitely have had a prominent role, Harry would have been given a duty to perform in the ceremony, they would have been sitting in the front row beside the Wales' and appeared on the balcony with the kids etc.

I don’t think you know what that word actually means. So overly dramatic.

They just had working royals on the balcony

Who were the two older women?

The ladies in waiting. Sorry I meant of the family they just had working royals plus children. They also had the ladies in waiting and the pages.

Camillas sister and friend acting as ladies in waiting? The page boys were also on the balcony so I assume it was working royals plus page boys/ladies in waiting. Either as a reward for helping during the service or incase anyone needed help with robes. It’s common after weddings for bridesmaids and pageboys to be on the balcony

Oh thank you! I just saw a funny tweet about then being Camilla spares 😂 my family and I were looking thinking how clueless we are not to know these members of the family!

I think the Sussexes would have processed in immediately before the Wales (people entered in reverse order of seniority) and would have been seated in the front row between the Waleses and the Edinburghs. Prince Archie might have been there, But Princess Lili really does seem too young for the Abbey.

They would have processed back in a carriage, and been on the balcony (probably joined by Lili for that)

I doubt he'd have had a role in the ceremony, though not impossible that if they had more than one person (representing all) swearing allegiance, he might have been one of the others.

He's not a member of the Garter, but is a KCVO so could have been in those robes, and would till have held military appointments, so would have been in uniform underneath.

He hasn't said why he opted not to wear his KCVO robe yesterday.

I absolutely do know what it means. Perhaps you don't?

well seeing as Andrew got to play dress up. I think they could have sat him in a better seat. the RF values are skewed. Harry did the right thing leaving.
