The Prince and Princess of Wales have shared a behind-the-scenes peek at King Charles III's coronation.

William and Kate posted a video to their Instagram on Sunday (NZ time) after Saturday night's ceremony.

One clip shows the couple dressed in their finery leading two of their children, Charlotte and Louis, as they prepared to enter their vehicles to travel to Westminster Abbey.

"What. A. Day. Thank you to everyone who made it happen," they wrote in the video caption.

Other footage in the video shows the military procession escorting King Charles and Queen Camilla back to Buckingham Palace and the Royal Family standing on the balcony waving to the crowd.

The couple also posted a set of photos showing the Royal Family throughout the big day, including on the balcony and in their coaches.

"An afternoon to remember," they captioned the collection.

However viewers were quick to notice one person's absence - Prince William's brother Prince Harry.

According to CNN, Harry didn't receive an invitation to join the family for the famed balcony photo. Harry was reportedly eager to get back to his home in California to celebrate the birthday of his oldest child Archie, which was on the same day as his father's coronation.

"Beautiful - just wish Harry and his family were there too," one person commented.

"Very bad that Harry is not there. They should set an example as a family," another said.
