Prince Harry spotted leaving early after King's Coronation as he misses family lunch at Buckingham Palace

Prince Harry was seen dashing off in a car straight after the coronation ended to get home to his family on his son's birthday. The Duke of Sussex was there to see the crowning of his father, King Charles III, and his wife Camilla at Westminster Abbey on his own while his wife Meghan Markle is at home in California with their two children.

Prince Archie is celebrating his fourth birthday today and Princess Lilibet turns two next month. Prince Harry, who earlier this year released his tell-all memoir Spare, was smiling as he arrived at the Abbey. He he was seated next to his cousin Princess Eugenie's husand Jack Brooksbank and Princess Alexandra, the cousin of his late grandmother the Queen.

According to a lip reader, Prince Harry told Jack he would be leaving at "about quarter to four." It was reported that he would board a commercial flight back to the States, missing a family lunch at Buckingham Palace.
