Prince Harry will be estranged from the rest of the royal family at his father’s coronation and will not continue to shoot with his relatives, according to a source close to the royal family.

The ‘reserve’ heir will sit 10 rows behind his family and come out fast at King Charles’ coronation on May 6 amid his ongoing separation, former royal servant Paul Burrell said the sun.

The exiled son is unlikely to reconcile with his father and brother William, Burrell said, and may not even have time to chat with either of them, according to the outlet.

“No chance of reconciliation any time soon,” he said, “I fear—I think he will get a very cold reception from the Windsors.”

The former butler, who served the late Princess Diana, told GB News that Prince Harry would be crowned king just to “show his face”.

“He’s coming to put his foot in the door and he’s coming because his dad wants him to be there,” Burrell said. “His father would be delighted to have his two sons there to witness this wonderful day in his life.”

“But Harry won’t hang around,” he added.

The coronation festivities will extend over three days, but only the Duke of Sussex is expected to attend the actual coronation ceremony.

It will be the first time Harry has seen his father and brother since the January release of his dirty memoir “Spear,” in which he spared no details about the royal family’s dirty laundry.

A source previously told The Sun that the duke was “desperate to return to the coronation and spend quality time with his family”.

He will attend the coronation alone. Wife Meghan Markle plans to stay in California with the couple’s two children, Archie and Lilibet, in order to celebrate Archie’s fourth birthday on the same day.

Markle denied rumors that she would skip the coronation ceremony due to messages she and the monarch exchanged about her fears of racism inside Buckingham Palace.
