In the Daily Mail (a publication that makes the New York Post sound like a left-leaning rag), it was reported that Harry arrived on a private jet, there was even a picture of a gray G-V which would have cost Harry something like $200,000 (about $10,000 per fight hour for 20 hours of flying). Today is coronation day (didn't watch, but saw pictures), but Harry was there, in the third row -- which I thought was about right, next to some very friendly cousins (one had rented his cottage for a year or two during the Pandemic -- she now live in Spain).
The funny bit is that Harry actually flew on a commercial flight (American Airlines actually). This was not reported in the Daily Mail, but it was in the Times because people obviously recognized him (they even had the flight number).
So let's be clear, the Daily Mail "made up" the story that Harry flew private and used fake images (probably stock images anyway) since he was flying commercial, and he was seen in terminal 3.
Considering the book he wrote, I thought that the third row was kind of nice, but apparently, he only spoke to his cousins and no one else...now the Daily Mail indicates that Harry has been invited to "tea or some lunch this afternoon".
My guess is that Harry already has his flight booked his family is waiting for him and I am rather certain that he doesn't feel that being a lawn ornament -- where probably no one will want to talk to him (why take a chance with Harry who lives in California...). My guess is, he's already at on his way to the airport to catch his 3:45 pm flight home.
Plus the coronation is not about him, "right stage exit" seems to be the best option for him. He can always fly back on a less emotionally charged day and sit down with the King and his brother....
Joke: What the lip reader really translated
Jake Brooksbank: Hey Harry are you?
Harry: Fine Jack, thanks
Jack: you staying for this whole thing today?
Harry: Nah, going home tonight
Jack: really what time is your flight?
Harry: 3:45
Jack: You are cutting it close Harry, how are you going to make it?
Harry: No prob, got a police escort, they are so happy to see the back of me they are giving me a priority exit
Jack: Good because you know unless you are in the first two rows, you are a lawn ornament
Harry: laughing and pointing to his uncle( Andrew), Yeah we're the riffraff for that show, still I was there for dad so that's something.
Jack: When are you coming back?
Harry: No plans mate, we are very busy with the kids and everything, how about you guys?
Jack: Back to work Monday and SIL and husband are flying back to Spain Sunday night.
Harry: I think you got the good end of the stick!
Jack and Harry laughing
