Are Albert and Charlene of Monaco going to the coronation of Charles III? The prince has decided
The King of the United Kingdom, Charles III, took office last September following the death of his mother, Elizabeth II. However, the coronation ceremony has not yet taken place, but it is fast approaching. Indeed, this event will take place on May 6 and the monarch will be crowned later in Westminster Abbey, the same place as his mother exactly 70 years ago.
It remains to be seen who will be invited for what is sure to be one of the highlights of the year. In 1953, no less than 8,251 people were invited to the ceremony of Elizabeth II. However, King Charles III has already made it part of his wish for a shorter and less paid coronation to pay him than his mother. A decision in line with his desire to modernize the British monarchy.
The expensive places will therefore be to witness this real moment in history. And it will be necessary to choose this “short-list” particularly well so as not to offend anyone and avoid regrettable diplomatic incidents. The doubt hovered in particular as to the participation of the prince Albert of Monaco as well as his wife, Charlene of Monaco, also known as Charlene Wittstock before her marriage.
I don’t know how many coronations of English monarchs I could attend in my lifetime
But Prince Albert II wanted to lift the veil and thus put an end to the doubts that persisted: he and his wife will indeed be present at the crown of King Charles III. In the columns of the specialized American magazine Peoplethe Monegasque prince said he expected a ceremony “amazing and very moving“. And he fully realizes how lucky that is.”You know, I don’t know how many coronations of English monarchs I could attend in my life so I’m going to enjoy it“, he added.
He also made it clear that he has a very good relationship with the new British king with whom he has “kept in touch“, even if the two men have not spoken since the funeral of the queen. The princely couple of Monaco, however, go to the coronation without their children, Jacques and Gabriella, “a little too small for this type of ceremony“.
