Bye Harry and Megan reservations still pending for their participation in the May 6 coronation, Buckingham Palace breaks the delay and announces that there will be no room for the Sussexes in the procession that will precede the official ceremony at Westminster Abbey. Unlike what happened 70 years ago with Elizabeth, the event will be held in a secondary tone, at least in terms of the number of guests and close relatives of the sovereign, without giving up the pomp required by tradition. And in accordance with the wishes of Charles, who since his accession to the throne has sought to reduce the number of working members of the royal family, the rebellious couple will not parade in the retinue of the king or appear on the balcony.
Among the great castaways are also Prince Andrew, forced to leave the Royal Lodge, a very expensive Windsor residence, for the more modest Frogmore Cottage, with no more appanage or titles to afford it, and his two daughters Beatrice and Eugenia, who would like more prominent positions under yard, but which Charles prefers to keep at a distance. Instead, little Louis will be present in the procession: staying at home on the day of Queen Elizabeth’s funeral, the third son of William and Kate will take part in the ceremony and will take part in the procession along with his brothers George and Charlotte, aged 9 and 7 respectively.
According to once, for them Camilla expressed a special wish. The Queen loves her three children as her grandchildren, and for that he asked the three of them to support the dome which traditionally covers spouses as they are consecrated to queens by the Archbishop of Canterbury. A rather unusual decision, since in the past this task has always been assigned to a group of duchesses. After the Princes of Wales, accompanied by William and Kate, in the carriage behind Charles and Camilla will be Edward and Sophie, the new Dukes of Edinburgh, with their children, Princess Royal Anne, accompanied by her husband, Vice Admiral Timothy Lawrence, Duke of Kent and the Duke of Gloucester with their spouses. This small group will also have the honor of appearing on the balcony next to the King and Queen, while Harry, Meghan and Andrea will only have to stand back and watch. Who knows whether Sussex will agree to join the Firm under these conditions.
