It’s been a busy couple of days for Prince Harry, who landed in the UK on Saturday morning after taking a commercial flight from California.
The Duke of Sussex then made his way to Westminster Abbey for his father’s coronation ceremony, before making a swift exit, with reports saying he was already on the way to Heathrow at 2 PM on Saturday afternoon when his family members were on their way to Buckingham Palace for their balcony appearance.
It is believed he flew back to America so quickly in order to celebrate his son Archie’s fourth birthday.
It has since been revealed that Harry caught a British Airways flight that arrived at LAX airport at 7.30pm local time (3.30am UK time), allowing him to get home to Montecito in time to see Archie on his special day.
Did Prince Harry enjoy the coronation?
Despite only being in the UK for a flying visit, it appeared Prince Harry enjoyed his time on British soil, chatting animatedly with his cousins, as well as his aunt, Princess Anne.

Princess Anne was spotted jovially greeting her nephew, with Harry responding with a wide, open smile as they chatted.
He also shared a joke with Princess Beatrice’s husband Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, with Edoardo putting a matey arm around Harry in a show of support.
Prince Harry also came face to face with his brother and father – watch the moment the cameras panned to his face as his family members arrived for the coronation, including the Prince and Princess of Wales’ children Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis.
The Duke, who does not have any formal role in the coronation, looked dapper in a suit for the service instead of a traditional military uniform, though he still wore his military medals.
