Harry sat in third row with Beatrice and Eugenie for the coronation

At today’s coronation, Prince Harry was seated in the third row with Princess Eugenie and Princess Beatrice.

Along with his relatives, the Duke of Sussex will be seated between Princess Eugenie’s husband Jack Brooksbank and Princess Alexandra.

Working senior royals like Prince William and Kate, Prince Edward and Sophie, and their kids are given priority seating in the front row.

Harry arrived yesterday by plane from California for the coronation, but he will likely return quickly in time for his son Archie’s fourth birthday.

A royal insider told The Sun: ‘There were discussions that the seating could be arranged on line of succession.’

But the source said this would have put Harry front and centre with William and Kate because he is fifth in line to the throne.

‘Instead the decision was working royals only at the front and work back from there. Harry will be a long way from his dad,’ they confirmed.

Prince Harry is there for his dad’s big day.

Harry is expected to arrive for the coronation at 10.35am alongside other non-working royals.

On a surprise walkabout yesterday afternoon Kate revealed some insight into how they are feeling ahead of the big day.

She told royal fans outside Buckingham Palace: ‘Yeah, we’re all good. Hopefully a bit like swans — relatively calm on the outside, but paddling on the inside.’

Talking about how her children are feeling, Kate said: ‘They are really well, thank you. Excited, a bit nervous obviously with the big day ahead. They can’t wait.’

She said Charles is ‘really looking forward to it as well’ and told people ‘it’s nice to be out here and saying hello to everyone’ who were staying overnight.

She added: ‘It’s going to be long. Are you tired? It is long hours for everybody, isn’t it? It’s a really great moment. A celebration as well. We have an early start but I think everyone has.’

At the walkabout yesterday Charles was joined by Kate and William to greet people on the packed out Mall.

Cheers erupted as the royals stepped out to ‘three cheers for the King’ and ‘God save the King’.

Buckingham Palace confirmed neither Harry or Prince Andrew will have any formal role at today’s coronation.

This morning more than 5,000 soldiers and members of the armed forces got off the train at Waterloo and marched to the coronation.

It is believed to be the biggest movement of military staff on Britain’s railways since Sir Winston Churchill’s funeral in 1965.
