King Charles appeared on the balcony of Buckingham Palace with his wife Queen Camilla, heir to the throne Prince William, and other senior royals, but his younger son, Prince Harry, was absent.
Harry, whose attendance at his father’s coronation was called into question earlier this year after he detailed family feuds in his memoir “Spare,” played no official role in the ceremony.
Earlier on Saturday, Harry attended the Westminister Abbey ceremony without his wife Meghan and two young children, who remained in the United States. Archie, his eldest child, turns four on Saturday.
Commentators predicted that if Harry appeared on the balcony with his family, it would be a sign that the two sides were reconciling after a schism.
King Charles and Queen Camilla appeared on the balcony for the second time, to cheers from the tens of thousands of people who had gathered on the Mall, the grand boulevard that leads up to Buckingham Palace.
