All eyes are on him. He arrives in the UK for his father's coronation like an ordinary guest. The Duke of Sussex landed on a scheduled American Airlines flight yesterday morning, among incredulous passengers, for a lightning-fast 24-hour visit, leaving his wife, Meghan Markle, and their two children at home.

The uncertainty of Harry's presence on the balcony
