Prince Harry skips balcony flypast at coronation amid family tensions

Prince Harry, the Duke of Sussex, was noticeably absent from the balcony flypast during the coronation ceremony, which took place amid ongoing tensions within the royal family.

The balcony flypast has been a longstanding tradition at royal events, where members of the royal family wave to crowds from the balcony of Buckingham Palace. However, Prince Harry was notably missing from the event, which has led to speculation that tensions within the family are still running high.

While it is unclear exactly why Prince Harry skipped the flypast, it is no secret that his relationship with the royal family has been strained in recent years. He and his wife, Meghan Markle, stepped down from their roles as senior members of the royal family in early 2020, citing the intense media scrutiny and lack of support from the institution.

Since then, there have been several public clashes between Prince Harry and his family, including his explosive interview with Oprah Winfrey, where he and Meghan Markle spoke candidly about their experiences within the royal family.

It remains to be seen what the future holds for Prince Harry and his relationship with the royal family, but his absence from the balcony flypast is a clear sign that tensions are still simmering beneath the surface.
