Well, that was fast; Prince William was already thinking and mapping out his coronation ceremony.
Just days after King Charles III and Queen Camilla had their crowning at Westminster Abbey, the heir to the throne, via a close friend, decided to pinpoint all the mistakes that were made.
Not only that, but Prince William also decided to share what his coronation ceremony would look like.
According to Prince William’s pal, he believes that His Majesty‘s extravagant event did not emphasize modernity. He plans to change that dramatically.
Prince William believes that King Charles was wrong to have the nation pledge allegiance to him during the celebration. When Prince William and Kate Middleton‘s big day arrives, that rule will be eliminated.
A source close to Prince William told the Times that he believes that his coronation will be in maybe 20 years but is already mindful of errors and controversies that arose from King Charles’s event.
The friend stated: “He is really thinking, how do we make his Coronation feel most relevant in the future? He is mindful of the fact that in 20 years time, or whenever his time comes, how can the Coronation be modern but also unifying to the nation and the Commonwealth? I think his Coronation will look and feel quite different.”
The source added: “Are courtiers sitting at Kensington Palace coming up with a grand plan about what the next Bridge will look like [London Bridge was the codeword for the late Queen‘s death, and Forth Bridge for Prince Philip]? No. But of course, the prince and his team are reflective of the events of last week, and it is extremely important to him that it evolves to be relevant whenever it happens.”
One key element that will be eliminated from Prince William’s coronation is “homage of the people,” which created a lot of controversies at King Charles’s ceremony.
The Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby, asked the congregation at Westminster Abbey and the people who watched the event to swear their allegiance to the current Monarch and his “heirs and successors.”
However, a source close to Prince William said the following about the homage: “There is no way he will go down that route or anything like it.”
The one tradition that the Prince of Wales will keep is to have his Coronation at Westminster Abbey.
Another friend of Prince William has revealed to the Daily Beast that Prince Harry, Meghan Markle, and their children will not be invited to the coronation.
