In the gardens of Buckingham Palace the King, recovering from cancer treatment, was surrounded by his family and 8,000 guests. Two miles down the road at St Paul’s Cathedral his younger son, Prince Harry, cut a lonelier figure.
The Duke of Sussex made a rare UK public appearance to celebrate the tenth anniversary of the Invictus Games, his Paralympics-style competition for military personnel and veterans. However, no senior members of the royal family joined him at the service and it was revealed that the King was too busy to see Harry during his brief transatlantic visit.
