King Charles III toasted his absent grandson Prince Archie on his fourth birthday at a family celebration in Buckingham Palace after the coronation, the Daily Mail has reported.
The king also raised a glass to Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis who were at the Abbey and the post-ceremony festivities in the royal residence.
King Charles also toasted “those that weren’t there”, and wished his other grandson a very happy birthday “wherever he was”.
The Duke of Sussex attended the coronation but swiftly flew home to the US afterwards to be with the Duchess of Sussex and their children, Archie and Lili, for the boy's birthday.
Prince Harry’s troubled relationship with King Charles and the royal family hit new lows after he criticised his relatives in his memoir Spare at the start of the year.
Glasses of champagne and canapes including mini broad bean and tarragon coronation quiches were served in a running buffet at the Palace, the Mail said.
