King Charles marks coronation anniversary, Prince Harry reveals he won’t visit father during UK stop

Prince Harry will not meet the King this week during his Britain trip due to His Majesty’s “full program”.

The Duke of Sussex, 39, landed in London on Tuesday morning and a spokesperson for the Duke said: “In response to the many inquiries and continued speculation on whether or not the Duke will meet with his father while in the UK this week, it unfortunately will not be possible due to His Majesty’s full program.”

“The Duke of course is understanding of his father’s diary of commitments and various other priorities and hopes to see him soon.”

King Charles celebrated the first anniversary of his coronation with a social-media video while Londoners were treated to the high-calibre spectacle of special military celebrations, including artillery regiments firing Royal Salutes on the banks of the Thames.

The 75-year-old monarch, who is undergoing treatment for an undisclosed form of cancer, was crowned alongside his wife Queen Camilla, 76, at Westminster Abbey in London on May 6, 2023, following the death of his mum Queen Elizabeth II aged 96 the previous year.

The royal family’s 90-second clip posted to Instagram shows a montage of Charles’ coronation, the footage opening with film of the King greeting wellwishers on The Mall outside Buckingham Palace on the eve of the coronation.

The family captioned the 90-second clip: “Today marks the first anniversary of The King and Queen’s Coronation in @wabbey”.

The post also appealed to royal fans to share their memories of the big day, asking: “What’s your favourite memory of the weekend?”

Audio at the start of the clip was from a pre-recorded message Charles released at the time for train and tube stations across Britain.

He’s heard saying: “My wife and I wish you and your families a wonderful coronation weekend.”

The video also showed Charles and Camilla travelling to the ceremony from Buckingham Palace in the Diamond Jubilee State Coach.

It featured footage from inside Westminster Abbey, including the King’s crowning by the Archbishop of Canterbury with the St Edward’s Crown.

Members of The King’s Troop Royal Horse Artillery also marked the occasion, firing a 41-gun and a 62-gun royal salutes, pictured.

Charles has returned to royal duties after his cancer diagnosis was revealed in February, with insiders telling The Sun he has told aides to “supercharge” his diary.

He resumed the duties with a visit to a cancer centre in London on April 30, while Catherine, Princess of Wales, 42, is still out of the public eye as receives preventative treatment for the disease.
