While the coronation ceremony of King Charles III of England will be held on May 6, the official invitation was released on the 4th (local time).
Local media such as the British BBC reported that the royal family unveiled a medieval-style invitation card while announcing about 2,000 people to invite to the coronation ceremony of King Charles III next month.
In the invitation letter, Queen Camilla’s title was officially written as ‘Queen Camilla’. Until now, she was only written as Queen consort, which means the king’s wife, with Queen Camilla, and on this day, she officially used the title of queen for the first time.
Local media interpreted that the royal family seemed to have decided that it was an appropriate opportunity for King Charles III to use the official title of queen for Camilla.
As rumors of King Charles III’s affair with Camilla continued during his marriage to the late Diana, negative public opinion toward Camilla prevailed in Britain at first.
Despite marrying Diana in 1981, King Charles III suffered from a lot of criticism when rumors of infidelity persisted and eventually divorced, and Diana was killed in a car accident the following year in 1997.
Despite the criticism, he remarried Camilla in 2005, and eventually Camilla became queen while keeping the seat next to King Charles III.
The media analyzed that Camilla’s unique gentle personality and easy-going humor captured the hearts of many Britons after her marriage to King Charles III in 2005.
At the coronation ceremony to be held at Westminster Abbey on the 6th of next month, King Charles III and Queen Camilla will officially receive the crown.
Prince George, 9, the eldest son of King Charles and second in line to the throne, will be the first of four royal courtiers to attend the coronation ceremony.
Queen Camilla is expected to attend with four attendants, and eight young royals are expected to assist in the coronation ceremony.
While it is not yet clear whether Prince Harry and his wife will attend the coronation ceremony, there are also observations that they will not attend.
Meanwhile, the coronation ceremony is expected to continue with a procession to celebrate King Charles III from all over the world.
US President Joe Biden did not attend that day, but instead officially announced that First Lady Jill Biden would attend. In Japan, Crown Prince Fumihito Akishino, the first in the line of succession to the throne, will attend.
