Coronation of Charles: who was honored to stand with the king and queen on the balcony of Buckingham Palace

Must read

On Saturday, May 6, the coronation of Charles III and Camilla took place in London. The King and Queen traveled in the Golden State Carriage to Buckingham Palace. There, in the garden, 4,000 servicemen in full dress were already waiting for them. They shouted a three-time “Hurrah!” as the carriage appeared at the gates of the palace.

On the morning of May 6, it was raining in London. Bad weather made adjustments to the program of coronation measures. The British Ministry of Defense announced around 2:00 pm that it had to reduce the number of planes flying over Buckingham Palace in honor of the coronation. Only the RAF Red Arrows aerobatic team and helicopter squadron will participate in the flyby. The very performance of the aces will be short - two and a half minutes.

But the subjects of the rain did not frighten. The crowd at the gates of the palace did not decrease. People want to see Charles and Camilla.

Members of the royal family will watch the planes and helicopters. According to tradition, they will go out onto the balcony of the palace. This exit is of great importance. Recall that in June last year, during the celebration of the Platinum Jubilee of Elizabeth II, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were in Buckingham Palace, but they were not allowed to go out on the balcony.

This time, Harry drove to the airport right after the coronation was over. He did not visit the palace.

On the balcony were Charles, Camilla, Prince William and Kate with their children, Princess Anne, Prince Edward with their family, as well as Camilla’s grandchildren.
