Princess Anne likely put her nephew, Prince Harry, at ease during King Charles' coronation service, greeting him warmly as she walked down the aisle in Westminster Abbey.
As the Princess Royal made her way through the abbey, she stopped to say hello to the Duke of Sussex, smiling animatedly at him, with Harry responding with a wide smile. HELLO!'s lip reader has actually unpicked the exact details of their sweet exchange after watching the video very closely.
Prince Harry sat closest to the aisle, with Princess Eugenie's husband Jack Brooksbank seated next to him, beside Princess Eugenie, followed by Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, Princess Beatrice and Prince Andrew.

Before stepping down from his royal duties, Prince Harry wore uniforms to mark his former positions as Captain General of the Royal Marines, Honorary Air Force Commandant of the Royal Air Force Base Honington, and honorary Commodore-in-Chief of the Royal Navy’s Small Ships and Diving Operations.

Because he is no longer a working member of the royal family, he is no longer able to wear his uniform for royal occasions.
Princess Anne on the other hand, wore her Blues and Royals uniform with the dark green Thistle Mantle, and the Thistle Collar, Garter Sash, Garter Star, Thistle Star, GCVO Star, full sized medals, KCVO Star and Companion of the Order of the Bath neck decoration.
The Thistle cloak is made from deep green silk velvet with a lining of white taffeta, and features a hand-embroidered gold badge and garter blue velvet hood.
It seems that Anne was quite happy to be in smart uniform for the occasion, and even recently admitted that her role in the coronation solved any issues in deciding what to wear at the ceremony.

And Gold Stick was the original close protection officer. So that is a role I was asked if I'd like to do for this coronation, so I said yes. Not least of all, it solves my dress problem."
Even before the sweet interaction with his aunt, Prince Harry looked happy and relaxed upon entering Westminster Abbey - accompanied by Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie and their husbands - where he joined his family members for the first time since his revelations on the royal family in his tell-all book, Spare.

The historic church was originally built by Edward the Confessor in 1040 and is the burial site for 18 monarchs in addition to some of the nation's greatest poets, musicians, scientists and politicians.
The abbey – which has been granted UNESCO World Heritage Site status – boasts spectacular gothic exteriors, splendid, vaulted ceilings and mesmerising mosaic floors. Other highlights include the ancient Coronation Chair, the glorious Lady chapel, and David Hockney's vibrant stained glass window.
