Prince Harry will be seated ten rows behind other senior royals at his father's coronation before making a quick exit, a royal insider has said.

Former butler Paul Burrell claimed the Duke of Sussex may have little time to speak to the King or his brother, the Prince of Wales, during his flying visit.

He added there is "no chance" of a reconciliation between the duke and the rest of his family following the fallout from his bombshell memoir Spare earlier this year.

Mr Burrell said Harry may not even get chance to speak to William or Charles before returning to California, The Sun reports.

"There is no chance of a reconciliation anytime soon, I'm afraid - I think he will get a very icy reception from the Windsors," he said.

"His father will be delighted that both his sons will be there to witness this incredible day in his life. But Harry is not going to hang around."
