The date of May 6 is eagerly awaited in the United Kingdom. Not because it is the fourth birthday of Archie, eldest son of Meghan and Harry, but indeed because of the coronation of King Charles III, on the throne since the disappearance of his mother Elizabeth II on September 8 last. The organization is on point, at least as much as it can be in this period of doubt. Two rehearsal schedules are already in place. A first without Meghan and Harry, a second in case their presence with the children is confirmed.
Be that as it may, Charles III knows he can count on the other members of the Windsor clan, starting with Kate Middleton and the prince William, Princess and Prince of Wales and future King and Queen of England. If the couple is happy to participate in such an event and to see Charles finally live his moment, he is not very excited regarding the idea of rubbing shoulders too closely with those close to Camilla, who are determined to make them play a major role in the event and in the life of the monarchy henceforth.
Seeing the place occupied by George, Charlotte and Louis, (9, 7 and 4 years old), Camilla Parker-Bowles wished that her grandchildren also had an important place in the coronation. This is how they”will carry the canopy under which their grandmother will be anointed with holy oil. A way to unofficially acknowledge their status as ‘royal grandchildren’ by marriage” according to Gala. If the grandchildren will also be involved, their parents will surely be too. A point that does not delight Kate and William: “The Wales couple aren’t particularly close to Tom and Laura, Camilla’s children. Kate and William are even wary of their links with journalists.”
No changes for Tom and Laura
When Camilla and Charles acceded to the throne of England, a question arose: will the children of the queen, Tom Parker-Bowles and Laura Lopes have titles of nobility? The answer is no. No princess, duke or countess on their side. No increase in the security service either: “If they haven’t needed security so far, they won’t need more with the change of reign, unless it’s necessary. (…) They value their privacy. Normally they are very indented” announced the journalist Joe Little to Page Six. This will not prevent Kate and William from remaining on their guard.
