According to Page Six, Prince Harry returned home to California to make it on time for his son Archie’s fourth birthday. The Duke of Sussex was spotted at the VIP Windsor Suite at Heathrow Airport around 3 p.m. since he was only in the United Kingdom for 24 hours. He spent the night at Frogmore Cottage, the same home he and his wife, Meghan Markle, were kicked out of by his father earlier this year so he could gift it to Prince Andrew.
Despite the tensions surrounding his family, Prince Harry still attended the ceremony as a peace offering, but he appeared to be snubbed on multiple occasions. He was seated in the third row at Westminster Abbey while his brother, Prince William, and Kate Middleton, were sitting front row since they were working royals.

While Prince Harry was heading back home, Queen Camilla and other royals joined Charles on the balcony of Buckingham Palace. A source said Prince Harry would not be invited to the balcony appearance but said Charles “loves his son.”
Meghan Markle decided to stay home with her children, Lilibet and Archie, to reportedly “protect her peace, said Omid Scobie during an interview on ITV’s “This Morning” show.
“She is aware just how much of the spotlight goes on her when she sets even a foot near the story, It’s portrayed as intentional. Should she come over and just stand next to her husband, the commentary and the narrative of the day would have been very different.”
Additionally, members of the royal family were reportedly relieved that Markle was not attending because the public attention would focus on her.
“They would rather the attention didn’t go onto her. If you look back at some of Harry and Meghan’s biggest problems, it was all down to the fact that the attention was always on them at times when it shouldn’t have been.”
