King Charles III couldn’t conceal his emotions when his royal regalia failed him during the State Opening of Parliament on Wednesday.
King Charles couldn’t conceal his annoyance this week when his royal regalia failed him during the State Opening of Parliament.
The ceremony required the cancer-stricken King to wear the Imperial State Crown and the Robe of State. In the clip, he struggled with the garment after sitting on the Sovereign’s Throne next to Queen Camilla. The Page of Honor is a role typically held by “sons of extended family or friends and are usually 10-13 years old,” per Gert’s Royals. The boys are required to wear the traditional red outfits passed down generations, and their tenure is contingent “on how long they can fit into the uniform.” It was an honor bestowed on Prince George during his grandfather’s Coronation in May 2023.
“During The King’s recent hospital procedure for benign prostate enlargement, a separate issue of concern was noted,” the palace announced in a statement via email. “Subsequent diagnostic tests have identified a form of cancer.”The 75-year-old monarch during the State Opening of Parliament Ceremony.
