Prince Harry is set to make a "really awkward" appearance at King Charles's Coronation before dashing back to the US, according to a royal commentator.
Jennie Bond stated that there may be tension between King Charles's wife Camilla and Prince Harry at the ceremony.
Earlier this year Prince Harry launched several attacks on Camilla in his autobiography Spare.
Jennie Bond told GB News: “Harry's going to make a fleeting visit, we're told, for the Coronation.

“It's not beyond the bounds of possibility that he will fly straight out after the ceremony and get back to California just about in time to celebrate late in the day with his little son, Archie, whose fourth birthday it is.
“It is certainly going to be a quick visit and an awkward one. I mean, who wouldn't be hurt by being called a villain, by being accused as Camilla was, of leaking stories to the press which she didn't leak.”
“And of course, [Camilla] will be polite to be courteous, I assume Harry will be as well, but it's not going to be an easy weekend.”
Ms Bond added: “He is not going to attend the lunch afterwards, as far as we know and we're told that maybe a place will be set in case he changes his mind.
“I don't think he'll change his mind. I actually think he will head straight back to California, probably within a couple of hours of ripping off his suit or whatever he's wearing and getting into his jeans and off he goes back to California.
“It's not going to happen. They're not going to get close.”
The Duke of Sussex delayed announcing whether he would attend the historic event until last week.
Prince Harry will attend the ceremony on his own, as his wife Meghan Markle and children Archie and Lilibet remain in California.
The Duke's decision was confirmed in a statement by Buckingham Palace last week.

“The Duchess of Sussex will remain in California with Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.”
Whilst Archewell, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s charitable foundation, issued a nearly identical statement to Buckingham Palace confirming the Duke of Sussex will join guests at the Coronation.
