A dramatic turn for the coronation of Charles III! A member of the family put aside, big disappointment

The British are in turmoil, as are the royal family! It must be said that on May 6, in about three weeks, Charles III will be officially crowned king. An event that has not taken place since 1953 and the enthronement of Queen Elizabeth II, who remained more than seventy years at the head of the British monarchy. So to organize such a day, the small dishes were put in the big ones. On the program: three days of festivities, a ceremony at Westminster Abbey broadcast on television around the world, friendship lunches, a major concert at Windsor Castle and a call for volunteers! But that’s not all.

As with all important events involving the Royal Family, members of the British Crown will gather at Buckingham Palace after the ceremony on Saturday May 6. A procession will therefore leave from the heart of London to reach the palace, where the Windsors can greet the crowd from the balcony. But unlike other events like the Queen’s Jubilee or weddings, not everyone will be invited to sit around Charles and Camilla.

If they deign to confirm their presence one day, Harry and Meghan should not appear there, for example. But such an absence would not be surprising compared to others. That of Lady Louise, one of Elizabeth II’s favorite granddaughters in particular. As spotted by journalist and pundit Russell Myers in the Mirror podcast, Pod Save The King the 19-year-old daughter of Sophie of Wessex and Prince Edward will not be among the privileged to access the balcony: “The documents that I have seen indicate in black and white that she will not be there..” His brother James will also be deprived of the moment.

A decision in line with the spirit of Charles

Despite the wind of modernity that Charles III wants to blow on the British monarchy, there is no question of making the coronation a family event where everyone can shine. This is the reason why only prominent members of the family who are very active in the Firm will have a place on the balcony. “The king has been very clear about who he wants to represent the monarchy. There is little room for feelings, this is a state event, not a family event” was it announced. Not enough to shatter the links between the king and his brother Edward!
