Prince Harry will sit in the third row with Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie at today’s coronation.
The Duke of Sussex will be sat between Princess Eugenie’s husband Jack Brooksbank and Princess Alexandra, alongside his cousins.
The front row is reserved for working senior royals including Prince William and Kate, Prince Edward and Sophie, and their children.
Harry flew in from California yesterday for the coronation, but is expected to make a speedy flight home for his son Archie’s fourth birthday.
A royal insider told The Sun: ‘There were discussions that the seating could be arranged on line of succession.’
But the source said this would have put Harry front and centre with William and Kate because he is fifth in line to the throne.
‘Instead the decision was working royals only at the front and work back from there. Harry will be a long way from his dad,’ they confirmed.
Should Harry be at the coronation? Should he have more of a role in the day?
Prince Harry is there for his dad's big day.
Harry is expected to arrive for the coronation at 10.35am alongside other non-working royals.
On a surprise walkabout yesterday afternoon Kate revealed some insight into how they are feeling ahead of the big day.
She told royal fans outside Buckingham Palace: ‘Yeah, we’re all good. Hopefully a bit like swans — relatively calm on the outside, but paddling on the inside.’
Talking about how her children are feeling, Kate said: ‘They are really well, thank you. Excited, a bit nervous obviously with the big day ahead. They can’t wait.’
