Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have missed out on King Charles' Scottish Coronation as their rift with their royal relatives continues.
The Prince and Princess of Wales have joined the King and Queen Camilla, where the King is being presented with the Honours of Scotland – the country's crown jewels – during a service of thanksgiving and dedication at St Giles' Cathedral.
It follows his Coronation in Westminster Abbey in May, which Harry attended, although Meghan stayed at home with their children Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.
But despite attending that day, the King's youngest son and his wife have not attended, which was expected as they stepped down from their royal roles more than three years ago.
They did return to the UK for the late Queen's Platinum Jubilee and her funeral but did not attended the King's first Trooping the Colour last month.
The Coronation was the first time Harry came face to face with his family since the release of Harry's controversial memoir Spare.
In the explosive book, the Duke of Sussex accused his older brother Prince William of physically attacking him during a heated row. He also dished on a disagreement between his wife Meghan and sister-in-law Kate over bridesmaids' dresses in 2018.
The service today to honour the King at the Edinburgh cathedral featured centuries-old aspects of Scottish royal tradition along with new additions such as pieces of music written specially for the occasion, a psalm sung in Gaelic and the use of passages from the New Testament in Scots.
The Moderator of the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland, Rt Rev Sally Foster-Fulton, preached the sermon and then provided a blessing to close the service.
During the ceremony, the sceptre and crown from the Honours of Scotland were presented to the King, along with the Elizabeth Sword.
This is a new sword specially crafted to be used in place of the current Sword of State, gifted to James IV by Pope Julius in 1507, which can no longer be used due to its fragile condition.
Dame Katherine Grainger carried the Elizabeth Sword; Lady Dorrian, the Lord Justice Clerk will hold the sceptre and the Duke of Hamilton the Crown of Scotland.
Before the service, a people's procession of about 100 community groups collected the honours from Edinburgh Castle.
The procession was then be escorted to the cathedral by the Royal Regiment of Scotland and its Shetland pony mascot, Corporal Cruachan IV, supported by cadet musicians from the combined cadet force pipes and drums.
