King Charles III gave the world the coronation he believed had just the appropriate amount of modernity blended with tradition.
His Majesty made sure to stay clear of controversial jewels and relics dating from Great Britain’s slavery eras.
He requested female royals wear no tiaras — no exceptions were made for the Queen-in-waiting, Kate Middleton.
However, King Charles kept the ancient and unique pageantry alive on his big day. He wore several pricey robes, a massive crown, and a sword.
He also had his son and heir, Prince William, pledge allegiance to him. Prince William played a significant role at the event by reciting, more like reading the Homage of Royal Blood on behalf of the entire British royal family.
Before kissing his father on the cheek, the Prince of Wales said: “I, William, Prince of Wales, pledge my loyalty to you and faith and truth I will bear unto you, as your liege man of life and limb. So help me, God.”
King Charles got very emotional and whispered, “Thank you, William.”
One royal expert believes it was a poignant moment for King Charles and his two sons — Prince William and Prince Harry.
The King showed appreciation and told Prince William the words he could never say to Prince Harry because of the damage he caused to the Royal Family.
Royal expert Duncan Larcombe stated: “One wonders if the deep appreciation King Charles mouthed, ‘thank you’ to William, was for much more than the components of the service and his paying homage.”
He added that the precious and historical moment might define the relationships between the father and his two sons.
The commentator claimed: “In contrast to Harry’s slightly strange entrance, the profoundly touching moments between King Charles and the Prince of Wales, William, were a solid father and son moment demonstrating deep rapport.”
After the coronation, a close friend of King Charles spoke to the Daily Beast and explained that the Sovereign wants some real distance from Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.
The media outlet revealed: “Asked if Charles was more willing to hit pause on the goal of reconciling with the Sussexes now that he didn’t “need” them at the coronation, the friend of the King said: “He’s not that cynical. But having Harry there was very important for him, so, yes, there was pressure there. But he is immensely hurt by what Harry has done in the films and books, and Harry clearly feels aggrieved too, so I think a bit of distance now will suit everyone.”
The Royal Family is not certain of how to deal with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.
