Harry, who served for 10 years in the Army and did two tours in Afghanistan, was not permitted to wear his uniform to the Queen’s funeral last year and instead wore a black suit. That decision was said to be because he was not a working member of the Royal family.
Meghan joined him on that occasion and wore black dress and a black hat along with earrings gifted to her by the late Queen.
According to the Telegraph, Harry made no specific requests concerning his outfit for the Coronation and was willing to wear whatever was asked of him.
It reported sources claiming that he will be relegated to the third row in the Abbey, where he will be seated alongside his cousins, Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie.
Harry will then make a quick exit and fly back to the US to mark Archie’s birthday.
Preparations for the coronation continued as Jonathan Dimbleby, a close friend of the King, claimed that Charles would be horrified at the thought of the public pledging their allegiance to him.
Cries of ‘God Save the King’ will ring out around the abbey after St Edward’s Crown is placed on Charles’s head by Archbishop Justin Welby, but requests for the public to join in with the pledge at home have met with controversy.
Towards the end of the ceremony, the Archbishop will say: “I call upon all persons of goodwill in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, and of the other Realms and the Territories to make their homage, in heart and voice, to their undoubted King, defender of all.”
He will then ask all who so desire in the Abbey and elsewhere to say together: “I swear that I will pay true allegiance to Your Majesty, and to your heirs and successors according to law. So help me God.”
