Prince Harry made a blink-and-you-miss-it fly-over to attend his father’s coronation over the weekend, and now a source is revealing how King Charles feels about the quick trip.
If you forgot, questions had been swirling for months regarding if the Prince and Meghan Markle would be attending the historic day with their children. The Duke of Sussex ultimately decided to travel to the United Kingdom on his own before flying back that same day to be home in time to celebrate his son Prince Archie‘s birthday.
A new report is revealing the subtle way that King Charles paid tribute to his grandson’s special day and how he felt about his youngest son leaving his coronation so quickly.

A source told the Daily Mail that the royal family was mostly grateful that Prince Harry didn’t stay in the U.K. for long. Not his father, though.
King Charles was said to appear “genuinely quite disappointed that he didn’t stay.”
The King also took steps to honor his family members who were not present for a family lunch, especially Prince Archie. After toasting his grandchildren in attendance – Princes George and Louis and Princess Charlotte – he reportedly paid tribute to “those that weren’t there.”
Prince Archie was wished a happy birthday in what “was apparently a very sweet moment.”
While Meghan didn’t attend the coronation, she was still involved in one of the breakout memes of the day.
