MADRID, May 7th. (EUROPEAN PRESS) –
England’s King Charles III and Queen Camilla have stated this Sunday that they are “deeply touched” by the celebrations on Saturday for the royal couple’s coronation.
“We are both very grateful to everyone who helped make such a glorious event and to the many people who turned out in large numbers to express their support in London and abroad,” Buckingham Palace said in a statement.
The kings have not been seen in public this Sunday morning, presumably a day dedicated to resting after the intense celebrations on Saturday, according to the British press. They are due to perform at the Coronation Concert scheduled for Sunday afternoon at Windsor Castle.
Those who had yet to appear were the princes of Wales, Guillermo and Catalina, who had greeted the subject awaiting a concert in Windsor on a surprise visit. “I’m sorry because yesterday they had to wear raincoats”, commented Guillermo and a group of supporters referring to Saturday’s rain.
In response, a group of women offered him a cup of Union Jack from which Guillermo drank a sip of the broth and then offered it to his wife. “Is this a homemade recipe?”, he asked then. Then he also received a bottle of gin and a can of beer.
William is scheduled to deliver a speech at the concert, Kensington Palace said. “Global music icons and contemporary stars” will perform at the concert, following Elizabeth II’s Platinum Jubilee, which in 2022 brings together artists such as Queen, Rod Stewart or Diana Ross. This time Take That, Katy Perry, Andrea Bocelli and Lionel Richie are confirmed.
