However, it was confirmed that the Duke will be travelling alone for his father’s coronation and his wife Meghan Markle would stay back in the States to organise Prince Archie’s birthday party. King Charles has, reportedly, been ‘understanding’ that Meghan Markle would be staying back home.

Prince Harry’s ‘quick’ coronation visit
Amongst speculations regarding where would Prince Harry stay and his need for more security after his memoir Spare, a source has revealed that Prince Harry’s visit to his homeland would be short and quick. According to The Sun, the Duke - who is suing the publication - will be in and out of the country in less than 24 hours.
A Royal Insider claimed:
Harry will be in and out of the UK in 24 hours. He will only be doing the Coronation service and leaving.
The coronation ceremony will start at 11am and end at 1pm so Prince Harry is expected to be in the air by 2-3pm. The motivation for his ‘quick’ visit is understood to be home in time for Prince Archie’s birthday. The father-of-two is expected to spend ten hours travelling 5,000 miles and land back home by early evening local time.

Prince Harry to fly in a night before the coronation
This comes after Royal expert Tessa Dunlop alleged that Prince Harry would fly a night before the coronation. According to OK! Magazine, his arrival will be ‘closely and tightly choreographed.’ Tessa claimed:
I think Harry will arrive the night before for the Coronation. I think security will be closely and tightly choreographed.
Adding on about Prince Harry’s concerns regarding his security - as evidenced by his long ongoing battle with the home office - Tessa emphasised the Duke has nothing to worry about. She explained:
The amount of money that is being spent on security in and out of that abbey which is going to be the main bit, you’ve got some of the most significant politicians in the world coming, so I don't think Harry needs to worry too much.
She also added:
I think he’ll be sat with royals such as Eugenie and Zara.
