Who sat in the front row with King Charles

Answered By: Connor Phillips Date: created: Feb 23 2024

Prince William and Kate were front row, of course. Where was Harry? Front row at the coronation of King Charles III, including Prince William and Kate, the Princess of Wales. A coronation is, by its nature, a celebration of hierarchy.

Who is the assistant with King Charles?

Sir Clive Alderton – Sir Clive Alderton began working for the King in 2006 when he was Prince of Wales and quickly rose through the ranks to become his private secretary. He is currently sharing the role with the late Queen’s private secretary Sir Edward Young, who it’s said will step aside after a transition period.

The King’s private secretary Sir Clive Alderton Sir Clive is a career diplomat who became Britain’s ambassador to Morocco after a previous six-year stint as an aide at Clarence House between 2006 and 2012. Always sharply dressed with blonde combed-over hair, he regularly accompanies Charles on overseas tours.

Queen Consort Camilla in particular is said to “adore” him, one source told the Times. In 2020, he is said to have played a key role in the negotiations of Harry and Meghan’s Megxit deal – and according to The Times, friends suggest he came up with the phrase “recollections may vary” in response to their bombshell Oprah Winfrey interview.

  2. In the book, Harry recalled how you could tell him that the sun rises in the mornings and he would have you question what a morning was.

Harry claimed it was easy to misjudge ‘the Wasp’ because of his appearance, but if you pushed back you would be put on his ‘list’. “A short time later, without warning, he’d give you such a stab with his outsized stinger that you’d cry in confusion. Where the f*** did that come from?” he wrote.

Could Prince Harry ever become King

Answered By: Donald Parker Date: created: Oct 03 2024

Could Prince ever become King? – It’s a good question! And the answer, possibly surprisingly, is still yes—despite the Duke of Sussex having made it very clear that he’s keen to distance himself from royal protocols and press intrusion (which would likely only ramp up further if he were to become King).

At present, and this is a birthright “privilege” that cannot be revoked without an Act of Parliament being in place. However, there are a whole myriad of things that would need to happen in order for it to actually reach the stage that Prince Harry was first in line and set to become King, as of course he has an elder brother,, who is the current heir to the throne—and who is expected to step up as monarch when King Charles III eventually passes.

In the event of Prince William’s death occurring before King Charles’s, Prince Harry would still not be the next choice for King, instead that honor would move on to Prince William’s eldest son,, Likewise, if Prince George were unable to fulfill the duty of becoming monarch, would take the throne—and failing that, Prince Louis also stands ahead of his uncle Harry.

  • Currently, below Prince Harry in the order of succession is his and Meghan Markle’s son, (yep, that his grandfather is the current King), followed by his daughter,,
  • So, the bottom line? Yes, Prince Harry could one day be King.but there’d need to be a lot of unfortunate and premature deaths in order for that to happen.

And even if it did happen, there’s no certainty that the present Duke of Sussex would actually want to take on the role (he could very well choose to abdicate).

Who is closest in line to the throne?

Prince William is now first-in-line to the British throne. He married Kate Middleton, the Princess of Wales, on 29 April 2011 and they share three children: Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis. When Prince William becomes King, Kate Middleton will be known as Queen Consort.

Why is Edward in front row?

Prince Harry has been relegated to the third row with his cousins at today’s Coronation ceremony. The Duke of Sussex, 38, flew in yesterday leaving wife Meghan at home in California. He will sit between Princess Eugenie’s husband Jack Brooksbank and Princess Alexandra — Queen Elizabeth’s cousin whose last royal working engagement was 10 years ago.

Alongside will be Prince Andrew’s daughters Eugenie, 33, and sister Beatrice, 34, with her husband Edo Mapelli Mozzi. The front row is reserved for senior working royals — William and Kate, Edward and Sophie and their children Lady Louise and James, Earl of Wessex, plus Princess Anne and her husband Tim Laurence.

An insider told The Sun: “There were discussions that the seating could be arranged on line of succession. But that would have put fifth-in-line Harry front and centre — and with William and Kate. “Instead the decision was working royals only at the front and work back from there.

  • Harry will be a long way from his father.” The Duke will arrive with other non-working royals at 10.35am.
  • He is set to leave soon after the ceremony and fly home for son Archie’s fourth birthday.
  • Yesterday Kate joked how she and William are “like swans” as they joined King Charles on a surprise walkabout.

As they met fans gathered near Buckingham Palace, the Princess of Wales said: “Yeah, we’re all good. Hopefully a bit like swans — relatively calm on the outside, but paddling on the inside.” Cheery Kate, 41, said of her children George, nine, Charlotte, eight, and Louis, five: “They are really well, thank you.

  • Excited, a bit nervous obviously with the big day ahead.
  • They can’t wait.” Asked how 74-year-old Charles was coping, she said: “Looking forward to it as well.” She added: “It’s nice to be out here and saying hello to everyone who has obviously stayed out here for so long.
  • And obviously will be staying out here overnight.

“It’s going to be long. Are you tired? It is long hours for everybody, isn’t it? It’s a really great moment. A celebration as well. We have an early start but I think everyone has.” Charles, Kate and William, 40, shook hands with patriotic fans and chatted along The Mall.

  1. After a heavy downpour gave way to afternoon sunshine, wellwishers took selfies, sang God Save the King, and led raucous rounds of Hip Hip Hooray! After stepping out of his maroon Bentley, surrounded by security chiefs, Charles simply smiled when someone asked if he was nervous.
  2. He joked with fans about the dodgy weather and giggled when a cheeky wellwisher shouted: “Love you Charlie!” Another fan shouted: “Love you, I’m from Italy.” Another simply said: “Good luck for tomorrow!” Margaret Tinsley, 81, of Gillingham, Dorset, welled up after shaking hands with the King.

She told him: “We are so proud of you, Sir.” Law student Abigail Summers, 21, from Cambridge, with pal Millie Holtz, said: “We said congratulations to him and he said, ‘Are you here tomorrow? Did you camp overnight?’ “He said, ‘I hope you didn’t get too wet when it rained!’ Then he was just laughing.

  1. It was amazing, really surreal.” Millie, 21, added: “It was exciting and quite overwhelming.
  2. It’s funny seeing someone in real life that you’ve only ever seen on TV.
  3. He was really friendly and made a lot of eye contact which was nice.” Alison Cowburn, 62, from Derby, shook Charles’s hand and told him she was visiting for the day, to which he laughed, ‘Nothing so rash as that then!’ Lovel Vining, 69, from Toronto, said: “He saw my hat bearing the Canadian flag and said he liked that part of the world.

It was a real thrill to shake his hand. “He has difficult shoes to fill. But he’s been preparing for this for a lifetime, so I think he will do a brilliant job. This is a bucket-list item for me.” Justin Nakrin, 31, from New York, was with mum Rosaria. Justin said: “It’s the experience of a lifetime.” Rosaria added: “I told him we were from the States.

I said I’m 72 and he said ‘That’s incredible’.” Theresa Iredale, 66, wore a paper crown and poncho as she spoke to super-chilled Charles. She told The Sun: “He said, ‘Thank you for coming’ and he appreciated it and I did say it was my birthday and he said ‘Oh, congratulations’. I saw his hand coming out to mine and I was like, I can’t believe I’m shaking the King’s hand.

A special moment.” Asked if her jaunty crown had drawn Charles’s attention, she said: “I think, actually, I was screaming a bit to be honest.” Kate appeared to join a fan on a video call, and spoke on another’s phone before handing it back. Meanwhile Wills prayed for good weather and posed with flag- wavers in the ten-deep crowds.

Security teams had kept the 40-minute walkabout under wraps. They meticulously shadowed the royal trio as they edged along the flabbergasted wellwishers. Carole, from Minnesota, US, sobbed: “This was the best day of my life. I can’t believe it. “It’s wonderful to see people coming back together from different cultures and parts of the world.

This is so amazing. “This was for me the reality of a long history. The Queen has passed it on to her son. And he will be a good king.” Suzie, also from the US, told William and Kate it was the best day of her life. She added: “When Diana passed I was so upset I never got the chance to meet her.

I always said there was no way in the world I would not meet William one day. People laughed at me. But today is that day.” Outside the Palace, Jane, holding a red, white and blue brolly, said ‘Good luck’ to Charles. She said: “He has done a wonderful job with The Prince’s Trust and climate change. “But this is what he has been training for his whole life.

King Charles III is going to be fantastic.” This article was originally published by The Sun and reproduced with permission Read related topics: Prince Harry

King Charles’s staff notified of redundancies during church service for Queen

Dozens of Clarence House staff have been given notice of redundancies as the offices of King Charles and the Queen Consort move to Buckingham Palace after the death of the Queen, the Guardian has learned.Up to 100 employees at the King’s former official residence, including some who have worked there for decades, received notification that they could lose their jobs just as they were working round the clock to smooth his elevation to the throne.Private secretaries, the finance office, the communications team and household staff are among those who received notice during the thanksgiving service for the Queen, at St Giles’ Cathedral in Edinburgh on Monday, that their posts were on the line.

Many staff had assumed they would be amalgamated into the King’s new household, claiming they were given no indication of what was coming until the letter from Sir Clive Alderton, the King’s top aide, arrived. One source said: “Everybody is absolutely livid, including private secretaries and the senior team.

All the staff have been working late every night since Thursday, to be met with this. People were visibly shaken by it.” In his letter, seen by the Guardian, Alderton wrote: “The change in role for our principals will also mean change for our household The portfolio of work previously undertaken in this household supporting the former Prince of Wales’s personal interests, former activities and household operations will no longer be carried out, and the household at Clarence House will be closed down.

It is therefore expected that the need for the posts principally based at Clarence House, whose work supports these areas will no longer be needed.” The King’s private secretary added: “I appreciate that this is unsettling news and I wanted to let you know of the support that is available at this point.” He added that certain staff providing “direct, close, personal support and advice” to Charles and Camilla would remain in post.

  • No final decisions are understood to have been taken, as a consultation period, which will begin after the state funeral next Monday, needs to be completed first.
  • Staff who are made redundant are expected to be offered searches for alternative employment across all royal households, assistance in finding new jobs externally and an “enhanced” redundancy payment beyond the statutory minimum.

A Clarence House spokesman said: “Following last week’s accession, the operations of the household of the former Prince of Wales and Duchess of Cornwall have ceased and, as required by law, a consultation process has begun. Our staff have given long and loyal service and, while some redundancies will be unavoidable, we are working urgently to identify alternative roles for the greatest number of staff.” It has not yet been confirmed whether the King and Queen Consort will eventually live at Buckingham Palace.

  • At present, only parts of Buckingham Palace are habitable as it is undergoing major reservicing works that are expected to last years.
  • There is speculation that the King, who is rumoured not to be particularly fond of the palace, would use it for official purposes such as receptions, audiences, investitures and banquets, while retaining nearby Clarence House as his home.

When his office was asked about this in 2017, when he was still Prince of Wales, officials said that Buckingham Palace would remain as the headquarters of the monarchy and official home of the sovereign. No detailed information about his likely living arrangements have been given recently.

  1. According to Clarence House’s annual review earlier this year, the King employed the full-time equivalent of 101 staff.

  3. The King and Queen Consort also have a residence at Birkhall on the Balmoral estate, Highgrove in Gloucestershire, and Llwynywermod, a cottage in Wales.

The Princess Royal didn’t join the King and Queen at the coronation concert at Windsor Castle the day after they were crowned.It’s thought that Princess Anne took a practical approach as she had a busy schedule of engagements including one the next morning. This royal news comes as we revealed Queen Camilla’s secret coronation dress detail you may have missed,

King Charles and Queen Camilla’s coronation day certainly provided fans with plenty of memorable moments. From the moment Prince Louis disappeared during the ceremony to the first glimpse of some fabulous outfits like Queen Camilla’s coronation dress and Carole Middleton’s electric blue look, there was so much to take in.

Princess Anne gave fans a particularly stand-out moment when she rode on horseback to Buckingham Palace behind the King and Queen in the Gold State Coach. She was awarded the special role of “Gold-Stick-In-Waiting” by the monarch and led the procession of the Armed Forces. However, whilst she might’ve been seen prominently throughout the coronation day itself, Princess Anne skipped the coronation concert the next day.

And she’s believed to have done so for the most Princess Anne reason ever! (Image credit: Photo by Dan Mullan/Getty Images) The Princess Royal is one of the most senior members of the immediate and extended Royal Family but she was notably absent from the stands at the coronation concert held at Windsor Castle on May 7. Her daughter and son-in-law Zara and Mike Tindall were there, as were her son Peter Phillips and his girlfriend Lindsay Wallace, the King, Queen and the Wales family. (Image credit: Photo by Leon Neal/Getty Images) The next day the King’s sister was back out and about as she attended a special Service of Thanksgiving. Princess Anne lives at Gatcombe Park in Gloucestershire and given she had to be at Gloucester Cathedral the next morning, it might simply have made more sense to travel home rather than back to London and back out again even earlier the day after the concert.

  1. In contrast, other royals at the concert like the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh also appeared publicly the next day but not until later on in the day and closer to Windsor.
  2. The Princess Royal hasn’t confirmed that these logistical reasons inspired her decision to skip the concert.
  3. However, if she did miss it so that she would definitely be there on time for her engagement in Gloucester on May 7, this practical decision inspired by hard work couldn’t be more *her*.

Today we held a special service as part of #TheBigHelpOut, during which we celebrated the Coronation and gave thanks to the many volunteers across the city, county and diocese. It was an honour to welcome HRH The Princess Royal to this service.
