Instead, they are home in California, where the family now lives full-time.
Today is Archie’s fourth birthday and Harry is expected to leave shortly after the coronation service to return home to his family.
As a non-working royal, Harry, who sat near his cousins Beatrice and Eugenie inside Westminster Abbey, did not join other members of the royal family in the procession back to Buckingham Palace.
