King Charles III wants to dust off the British monarchy. Since he succeeded his mother, Queen Elizabeth II, he has been working to make the royal family slimmer and more open.
This should also show up at his coronation. According to the “Daily Mirror”, for example, he doesn’t give a damn that royal robes wearers of the coronation must be eleven years old according to the royal protocol. Charles’ it is more important that Prince George can take an active role in the historic event.
Therefore, the 9-year-old will take on the task with the help of seven other children of senior palace officials, who are not yet known.
«George is already very mature»
“Although he’s only nine years old, George is very mature and understands the roles of his father and grandfather very well, as well as his role in the future,” a source said.
King Charles also shows openness when it comes to invitations. Actually, no other monarchs should be present at the coronation, the focus should be entirely on King Charles and his wife Queen Camilla. But Charles also invited other kings and queens to have a multicultural guest list.
Even the invitation gives a glimpse into the future. While his mother Elizabeth II posed with pomp and crown at her coronation in 1953, Charles smiles for the camera in his well-known suit dress code. His wife also refrained from excessive jewelry. Charles also referred to his Camilla as “Queen” in the invitation, although she actually still bore the title of “Queen Consort” until the coronation.
The royal family is still too outdated for a couple: Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan. His son fired sharply at his relatives in a Netflix documentary and in a biography. Nevertheless, Charles is said to have also invited Harry and Meghan to the coronation.
As the “Daily Mail” found out from palace circles, a month before the historic event, it was not yet clear whether the two would take part. Harry and Meghan are said to have not decided yet. The commitment period actually expired on April 3rd.
“This gives the planners a headache,” says an insider. “From above it’s always just: ‘This will be clarified soon.’ But the team has to finalize plans for 2,000 guests, including international leaders and VIPs.”
But what is already clear is that Harry and Meghan should not wave with their royal relatives from the balcony of Buckingham Palace if they are accepted. This place of honor is only intended for “working royals”.
Whether the couple really accepts the invitation will be revealed on May 6th at the latest. Then Charles III. officially crowned before the eyes of the world.
