Princes Harry and Andrew will have no formal role at the Coronation of King Charles at Westminster Abbey today, Buckingham Palace has confirmed.
The Duke of Sussex, 38, and Duke of York, 63, will be mere spectators to the historic occasion since they are no longer working royals.
The two men will also be absent from the procession behind the Gold State Coach that will carry the newly crowned King and Queen to the Palace after the ceremony.
This means they will miss out on stepping out onto the balcony at the Palace for a traditional photo op following the service.
All eyes will be on Harry as he faces his relatives in public for the first time since he criticised Charles, Camilla, and the Prince and Princess of Wales in his explosive tell-all memoir Spare.
His wife Meghan Markle will remain at home in California with their children, Archie and Lilibet, celebrating the former's fourth birthday which falls on the same day.
Sources last month suggested that other family members with the possible exception of Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie had no interest in talking with Harry at the Coronation except greeting him.
It came after the prince publicly called on his family to apologise to himself and Meghan for what they saw as slights against them.
He also demanded that his father and brother sit down with him before May 6 to thrash their issues out, a meeting which never came to fruition.
Harry also indicated he has enough material to fill another book, which is likely to make the royals wary of encountering him.
He is set to make a quick exit after the Coronation, flying back to the US to mark Archie's birthday, and is expected to attend only the abbey ceremony.
