Royal fans have descended on London from all over the world, carrying tents and cardboard cutouts of Charles and an impressive array of homemade crowns.
LONDON — King Charles III, Prince William and Catherine, Princess of Wales, met some of their most ardent supporters on Friday, as the trio shook hands and chatted with people on the Mall near Buckingham Palace, including those who have been camping out to secure spots for Saturday’s coronation.Royal superfans have descended on the British capital from all over the world, carrying tents and cardboard cutouts of Charles and an impressive array of homemade crowns.
While the role of the British monarch is non-political, those visiting London during King Charles III’s coronation weekend have high hopes for him. Kerry Evans, 58, from Lincolnshire, set up camp Wednesday morning. She brought a red tent — “my own Buckingham Palace” — and some of the letters she’s received from “ladies-in-waiting” who respond on behalf of royals.
Nacho Gerfauo Woloszyn, a 28-year-old psychologist, flew in from Uruguay. He camped alongside friends he met last year at Queen Elizabeth II’s Platinum Jubilee. He said Charles “has a lot of detractors, but he has earned the opportunity to bring it all together and have a chance to be king. I think he’ll be great.”
