After weeks of night rehearsals, site inspections and rumors, here we are: London is ready for the coronation of Charles III, Saturday May 6 in Westminster. And the king’s guests have already arrived in the British capital. Two thousand carefully selected people, many invitations sent from Buckingham Palace, decidedly less than those sent for the coronation of Elizabeth II, but Charles, by now it is known, wants his monarchy to be more agile than that of his mother, at the step with the times.
In church there are the heads of state and government, as well as the gotha ​​of the world aristocracy. For Italy, for example, it is expected Sergio Mattarella, probably accompanied by his daughter Laura, while the United States is represented by the First Lady Jill Biden. From the Principality of Monaco, Albert and Charlene, among the first to confirm the invitation, and there are even Frederik of Denmark with his wife Mary, Willem-Alexander of Holland with the queen Maxima, Felipe and Letizia of Spain. From Japan, on the other hand, they arrived in London on prince akihino, brother of the emperor Naruhito and heir to the throne, with his wife Kiko. There is also no shortage of royal families of Bhutan, of Jordan, of Tonga and Thailand, the Maori king of New Zealand and representatives of the former royal houses of Bulgaria, Romania and Greece.
It is the first time that so many kings and queens attend the coronation of another king. In fact, tradition has it that the Royal Houses send other members of the family, so as not to distract attention from the protagonist of the event. Things from other times, to which Charles III pays no attention, so much so that he would not have imposed even a strict dress code on his guests, jacket and tie for men and daywear for women. In the spotlight, even more than an excellent debut, from that of Catharina Amalia of the Netherlands, 19 years old, to that of Elisabeth of Belgium, 21, who accompany the parents. The queens of tomorrow are already pawing, but the absolute protagonist of the weekend remains Carlo, who ascended the throne of San Giacomo at 74 years old. A true record. God Save the King.
