Following tradition, Prince Harry had to kneel before his father in the “Tribute” ritual, in which all the dukes of the royal family participated, before touching the crown and kissing him on the right cheek, as a sign of submission and loyalty. .
Nevertheless, Carlos III, despite choosing not to carry out a simplified coronationwould have discarded this tradition and only Prince William -heir to the throne- would perform an act of homage before his father, as reported by the sunday time. “As it stands, there is no role for Harry in the ceremony.”a source told the newspaper.
