AceShowbiz - Prince Harry headed to Heathrow Airport immediately after King Charles' coronation. The 38-year-old Duke of Sussex was fetched by a car from Westminster Abbey after the service on Saturday, May 6 and went straight to Heathrow to return to California.
Harry's car was seen being escorted by a police motorcade in the direction of the airport, according to The Sun. He was then led into the VIP Windsor Suite at Terminal 5.
Earlier, Harry had arrived at the church along with Princess Beatrice's husband Edo Mapelli Mozzi. He then took a seat next to Princess Eugenie's husband Jack Brooksbank, a few rows behind his brother Prince William.
A source said, "There were discussions that the seating could be arranged on line of succession. But that would have put fifth-in-line Harry front and centre, and with William and Kate. Instead the decision was working royals only at the front and work back from there."
The royal was widely expected to leave London as soon as possible after the ceremony, in order to celebrate his son Archie's fourth birthday with his wife Duchess Meghan Markle and their daughter Lillibet in California. According to a lipreader consulted by HELLO! magazine, Harry told Brooksbank, "I will be straight to the airport."
Following the service, Harry did not travel to Buckingham Palace with other members of the Royal family, and he was no-show on the balcony for the flypast as the coronation procession drew to a close.
