Royal author Tom Bower said it was “absurd” to believe rumors that the palace intentionally chose the date of King Charles III’s coronation to insult Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, according to Page Six.
Buckingham Palace announced earlier this week that the official coronation ceremony for the new king will take place at Westminister Abbey on May 6, 2023, which is the same date as the 4th birthday of Archie, son of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge. Sussex.
Royal expert Katie Nicholl told ET that the King’s coronation is an important moment in history and the royal calendar is full of anniversaries, but it’s not a slight to occur on Archie’s birthday. “I think this is absolutely one of those occasions where it’s a coincidence and I hope it’s a happy coincidence.”
After the coronation announcement, netizens began to comment on social media that the king chose the date to hurt Harry and Meghan, which led to memes. “Unbelievable! There are 365 days in the year! Why? Just why?” commented one Twitter user. “Anyway, Harry, when is this memoir coming out?” asked another netizen.
The population and the British press speculated that the ceremony would take place on 3 and June, the date that Queen Elizabeth II would complete 70 years of her coronation, which took place on June 2, 1953.
