From the start, Prince Harry’s coronation visit had been billed as a brief appearance.

“It was a very personal decision, not a PR one.”

Here’s a play-by-play lookback at Harry’s lightning-fast visit.

He stayed over atFrogmore Cottage, his former home.

However, the duke did accessorize with his Afghanistan service medal and three different jubilee medals.

His view was somewhat obstructed by the tall red feather of Princess Anne’s ceremonial Blues and Royals uniform.

After the ceremony, Harry was spotted traveling in a vehicle that was possibly headed to the airport.

By leaving the U.K. in the afternoon, he is expected to return to the U.S. by evening.

Other responsibilities contrast these moments.

“For Harry, there was certainly no question about [attending],” Scobie asserted.
