A source told The Sun: "Harry was desperate to come back for the coronation and spend quality time with his family."

The fissure deepened even further earlier this year, when Prince Harry published a memoir with a series of damning claims against his dad and the rest of the firm. It was around this time when Prince Harry reportedly tried to get in contact with the King.
Despite all the mud-slinging, insiders said there was "willingness and wanting to mend on both sides". They added that the King is "happy" with his son's decision and "understanding" of Meghan staying behind in their plush mansion in Montecito, California, which they moved to shortly after they stepped back from royal duties.
