Royal Family’s Coronation Photos Released, Prince Harry Missing

The official photographs capturing King Charles' coronation have been unveiled to the public, revealing a notable absence of Prince Harry and other key members of the royal family.

The series of four pictures were taken at Buckingham Palace immediately following the appearance of the newly crowned King Charles and Queen Camilla on the palace balcony, where they greeted cheering crowds following the historic ceremony at Westminster Abbey.

These images arrive alongside a heartfelt message from King Charles expressing gratitude to the nation for their unwavering support during his and Queen Camilla's coronation, vowing to recommit himself to a life of service.

In one of the group shots, showcasing the working members of the royal family, the distinguished figures are captured beaming with pride as they stand adorned in their regal attire.

Positioned at the center of the frame are King Charles and Queen Camilla, flanked by Princess Anne and her husband, Vice-Admiral Sir Timothy Lawrence.

The ensemble also includes the Duke of Kent, the Duchess of Gloucester, and the Duke of Gloucester.

On the opposite side of Queen Camilla stand the Prince and Princess of Wales, William and Kate, accompanied by Sophie, the Duchess of Edinburgh, who is seen assisting 86-year-old Princess Alexandra, along with Prince Edward, the Duke of Edinburgh.

Notably, the group photograph exclusively features adult members and excludes younger royals such as Prince George, Princess Charlotte, Prince Louis, Lady Louise Winstead, and James, Earl of Wessex, who were present on the palace balcony post-coronation.

Prince Harry, the King's youngest son, is also absent from the image, having swiftly returned to California immediately after the service, leading to his omission from the photo session.

Renowned British photographer Hugo Bernard was behind the lens for these official portraits, having previously captured significant moments like the weddings of Charles and Camilla, as well as William and Kate.

In a poignant statement, King Charles expressed his deep appreciation as the coronation festivities drew to a close, extending sincere thanks to all those who contributed to making the occasion truly memorable.

He specifically acknowledged the countless individuals whose dedication ensured that the celebrations in London, Windsor, and beyond were joyous, safe, and enjoyable for all participants.

The King and Queen conveyed their gratitude to everyone who partook in the festivities, whether by celebrating at home, attending street parties, volunteering in communities, or in various other ways.

Their support, kindness, and encouragement have been invaluable gifts as they recommit themselves to serving the people of the United Kingdom and the Commonwealth realms.

The culminating event of the coronation weekend was the Bank Holiday Monday Big Help Out, designed as a lasting volunteering initiative to commemorate King Charles' ascension to the throne.

Prince William and Duchess Kate engaged their children in renovating a scout hut in Slough, while Prince Edward and Countess Sophie participated in a puppy training class at the Guide Dogs for the Blind Association Training Centre in Reading.
