Harry will 'stay just 700 yards' from 'betrayed' William during …
Prince William still feels betrayed by his younger brother Prince Harry, who will stay just 700 yards from him during his trip to the UK for the Coronation, it has been reported. Buckingham Palace confirmed earlier this week it was pleased to announce that Harry will be part of the congregation inside Westminster Abbey to see his father King Charles crowned on May 6. However, he will be going alone as wife Meghan Markle has decided to stay at home with their children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.
Harry's attendance will see him appear in a public setting his brother the Prince of Wales, sister-in-law Kate and the rest of his family for the first time since he lambasted the royals in his memoir Spare.

He accused William of physically attacking him in his tell-all book, which was published in January. And according to The Telegraph, William is still understood to feel betrayed by the revelations featured in Harry's book. However, it is believed that when Harry comes to the UK in a few weeks' time, he will stay at Frogmore Cottage for one last time, which is just 700 yards from William and Kate's Windsor home of Adelaide Cottage.

But one source told the publication that the gulf between the brothers is so big - it cannot be seen how their relationship will ever be repaired.
Meanwhile, when it comes to the ceremony itself, the princes will be sat so far apart that cameras will not be able to get a direct shot of the pair together, according to the Daily Express. Any potential smirks, sideways glances or awkward stares won't be broadcast to the entire world. Due to the tensions within the Royal Family, Harry's arrival at Westminster Abbey will be meticulously crafted down to the exact minute.

The Palace will be hoping to avoid any awkward confrontations, so are allegedly putting Harry several rows back behind the senior royals.
It's believed he will be sat with other non-working members of the Royal Family and those he has no bad blood with, such as Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie and their husbands. It has been rumoured that some royals will give Harry the cold shoulder, as many cannot forgive him for his repeated accusations against the family. Harry is not expected to take part in either the King's Procession or the Coronation Procession to and from Buckingham Palace, nor will he be on the Buckingham Palace balcony.
According to insiders, Harry was acutely aware that the historic occasion will be "pretty much the most important day" of the King's life.
And he realised that he would have deep regrets if he did not turn up on the momentous day.
