The British Army has postponed the release of new military badges for King Charles’ coronation due to concerns that Chinese-made insignia could contain eavesdropping devices. The Ministry of Defence worries Beijing might insert tracking devices into the badges, allowing them to spy on British soldiers and officers.
King Charles III reportedly expressed his displeasure when Prince William and Kate Middleton arrived late for his coronation last year. According to royal biographer Robert Hardman’s book, ‘The Making of a King: King Charles III and the Modern Monarchy,’ the couple should have arrived eight minutes before the king and queen. However, they reportedly arrived ‘a minute and a half late,’ accompanied by their children, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis.
Meghan Markle has reportedly declined an invitation to attend King Charles III’s coronation, scheduled for May 6th, 2023. According to insiders, Meghan was not satisfied with King Charles’ response to a letter she sent him, expressing concerns about unconscious bias within the royal family. Her absence from this significant royal event is believed to stem from the lukewarm reaction to her and Prince Harry’s bombshell Oprah interview in 2021, where they made several serious allegations against the royal institution. Meghan’s decision not to attend the coronation highlights ongoing tensions within the royal family, despite Prince William’s previous statement that they are ‘not a racist family.’
Meghan Markle has reportedly declined an invitation to King Charles III’s Coronation ceremony following an unsatisfactory response from the monarch to her previous letter about alleged racial bias within the Royal Family. The Duchess of Sussex was reportedly unimpressed with the Royal Family’s handling of the bombshell accusations she made during her 2021 Oprah Winfrey interview.
Prince Harry has reportedly made multiple calls to his father, King Charles, in the lead-up to the King’s coronation in 2023. The Duke of Sussex, who left the UK in 2020, is scheduled to return for his father’s coronation but is said to have expressed concerns and sought reassurances from the King. Sources suggest that Harry was upset with the seating plan and wanted to be under security at all times during the event. Royal commentators have expressed disappointment over the strain in Harry’s relationship with Britain and speculate on the possibility of the Sussexes becoming US citizens.
