Prince Harry will stay in his former home 700 yards from Prince William during his trip to the UK for the Coronation, it has been reported. Buckingham Palace confirmed earlier this week that Harry will be part of the congregation inside Westminster Abbey to see his father King Charles crowned on May 6 and it is reported that 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. The Prince of Wales is said to still feel betrayed by his younger brother, who will be alone for the Coronation as his wife Meghan Markle has decided to stay at home in California with their children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, according to The Mirror.

In his tell-all book, which was published in January, he accused William of physically attacking him.
According to The Telegraph, William is still understood to feel betrayed by the revelations and a source told the publication that the gulf between the brothers is so big that it cannot be seen how their relationship will ever be repaired. When it comes to the Coronation ceremony itself on May 6, the princes will be sat so far apart that cameras will not be able to get a direct shot of the pair together so potential sideways glances or awkward stares won't be broadcast to the entire world., according to the Daily Express. The Palace will be hoping to avoid any awkward confrontations, so are allegedly putting Harry several rows back behind the senior royals in Westminster Abbey and Harry's arrival will be meticulously crafted down to the exact minute.
It has been rumoured that some royals will give Harry the cold shoulder when he returns to the UK, as many cannot forgive him for his repeated accusations against the family. He 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 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.
