The Order of Service for King Charles III and Queen Camilla's Coronation has been announced, and a check confirms that Prince Harry will play no role.
The extensive program for the ceremony, which begins shortly before 11 a.m. at Westminster Abbey, reveals which royals will be in processions as well as confirms the other significant participants who will be taking on prestigious positions later today.

The Royal Family is expected to arrive at the Abbey shortly after 10.35 a.m. to take their seats, followed by the Prince and Princess of Wales and their children Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis.
Charles and Camilla will be escorted in by her page boys, Freddy Parker Bowles, Gus Lopes, Louis Lopes, and her great nephew Arthur Elliot. Lieutenant Colonel Jonathan Thompson and other royal household personnel will be there, as will Prince George, Lord Oliver Cholmondeley, Ralph Tollemache, and Nicholas Barclay, as well as Lieutenant Colonel Jonathan Thompson and other royal household staff.
The procession out of the Abbey following the service will feature the King and Queen and their pages, as well as William, Kate, Charlotte, and Louis.
Harry, who is attending the Coronation solo without wife Meghan Markle, will play no formal role in the day and will make a quick exit, flying back to the US to mark Prince Archie’s fourth birthday. Prince Andrew, who was forced to step down for royal duties in 2019, has no role.
