On Saturday, May 6, the coronation of Charles III and Camilla takes place in London. Honored guests have already gathered in Westminster Abbey. These are not only members of the royal families of Europe, heads of state and government of different countries of the world, but also movie, music and sports stars. They are waiting for the arrival of Charles and Camille. The ceremony is to begin at 11:00 London time (one hour Kyiv time).
The King and Queen arrived at Buckingham Palace in a Bentley limousine. Charles was wearing a normal suit. In the palace, the monarch is expected to put on the ceremonial officer’s uniform. In it he will be crowned. This is one of the deviations from the centuries-old tradition. All British kings before Charles were crowned in breeches and silk stockings.
Among those celebrities who received an invitation to the coronation were the famous British actress Emma Thompson, actor, writer and TV presenter Stephen Fry, the famous composer Andrew Lloyd Webber, American singer Katy Perry, American singer Lionel Richie, rock muses.
According to British media, Prince Harry took his place in Westminster Abbey. The King’s youngest son had arrived in London on a commercial flight the day before. Harry has no official role in the coronation. He was given a seat in the third row next to his cousins and other relatives.
Buckingham Palace officially confirmed on May 6 that the Duke of Sussex will not participate in any of the photo shoots. There was no place for Harry on the balcony of Buckingham Palace, where, according to tradition, the entire royal family will go out after the coronation. The Duke will fly back to the United States immediately after the ceremony at the Abbey in order to be in time for his son Archie’s birthday. The boy was four years old on May 6th.
By the way, Prince Andrew, Charles’ brother, did not receive any official role in the coronation. This is due to a sex scandal involving Andrew.
