70 years have passed since we saw a coronation in the United Kingdom. The viral image of Charles III in the carriage, angry at the lateness of the princes of Wales, he toured the world. There were minutes left for the ceremony to begin. Carlos has ascended the Throne at 74. Camilla He is about to turn 76. The symbolic photograph of the king and queen with their respective crowns also invites us to reflect: the coronation festivities officially started on Friday the 5th. Carlos presided over an international reception at Buckingham Palace with representatives of all European royal houses. The next morning, at dawn, he and his wife were preparing to star in the most important official day of their lives. A day for history, but also a very long day for a couple who have come to the throne around 75. The celebrations continued on Sunday. To this we must add the endless photo sessions and his live appearance on the American Idol program. A mega image promotion campaign non-stop that exhausts anyone. remember that the queen Isabel II he was 27 years old when he was crowned in 1953. The journalist, writer and royal analyst Jenni Murray forecasts in the Daily Mail no more than six years for Carlos. He sees him as “very tired”.
Carlos is allergic to being late. Especially if he suffers it on the day of his coronation, in front of the TV cameras that broadcast signals to the entire planet. The king was irritated. Your son Guillermo He hadn’t arrived yet and we had to wait for him. “It’s just that we can never make it on time…” was the complaint she hurled at Camilla as they waited in the Diamond Jubilee Carriage. An unforeseen event happened in the carriage of the princes of Wales, which caused them to be delayed.
This anecdote comes to nothing if we project the official agenda that the monarch has ahead of him. And also Camilla. Jenni Murray advances that Carlos will visit France, probably in the fall. He postponed his state visit because of the protests in the streets and because he was burning Paris (literally). Trips to Australia, New Zealand and Samoa, in the Pacific, will also be on the international agenda. An intense program with the pressure that it supposes. Below, two recent acts of the monarch.
