There’s “no way” he’s leaving this part in, a friend said.
reports that the current Prince of Wales’ Coronation will be anchored by the words “modern” and “relevant.”
Though his father King Charles adapted the ceremony for 2023—it was shorter, sooner, and smaller than his mother Queen Elizabeth’s 70 years ago in 1953, for example—there were still many pieces of the 1,000-year-old ceremony left in . One that won’t make the cut, according to the outlet? The “homage of the people,” which“There is no way he will go down that route or anything like it,” a source close to William said.
William is opting to not have an investiture as Prince of Wales, as his father once did himself in 1969. This may be telling as to how he plots his Coronation, the source continued: “You can see it in how he has taken having an investiture off the table, and his thinking on how to leave a legacy in communities rather than just going in [to] do ribbon cutting,” the insider said.
William himself, in an interview with the BBC to mark Her late Majesty’s ninetieth birthday in 2016, said modernizing the monarchy was on his mind. “It occupies a lot of my thinking space as to how on earth you’d develop into something modern in today’s world,” he said. “I think the royal family has to modernize and develop as it goes along, and it has to stay relevant.
From 1953 to 2023, the King only took eight months to plan his Coronation, as opposed to 16 months for Her late Majesty’s to come to pass. The guest list was cut from 8,000 at the Queen’s to 2,300 at the King’s and was about half the length of the Queen’s three-hour ceremony. It also broke with tradition by including leaders from other religions and Christian denominations.
