King Charles III’s Coronation Date Revealed: May 6th, 2023

The highly anticipated coronation date for King Charles III has finally been unveiled, and it appears to be much earlier than previously speculated.

Contrary to rumors suggesting an early June ceremony, the palace swiftly debunked these claims.

The official coronation will take place on May 6th, 2023, marking a significant day in royal history.

Interestingly, this date also holds historical significance as it coincides with the fourth birthday of Archie, the son of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.

This coincidence has left some members of the Sussex squad, as they are fondly referred to, feeling discontented.

They believe that the celebration of the coronation on Archie's special day may overshadow his own festivities.

Nonetheless, what the squad fails to realize is that May 6th carries immense importance in the royal lineage.

On this very day in 1910, King George V, the late Queen's grandfather, ascended the throne.

Royal expert Daniela Elsa expressed her disappointment, stating that Prince Harry's son might have a less-than-ideal birthday celebration due to the coronation arrangements.

While it is reported that the timing of events such as the FA Cup final and the Epsom Derby were considered when booking the palace, it is surprising that the birthday of the sixth in line to the throne was overlooked.

Daniela Elsa further commented that it seems the King did not mind co-opting Archie's special day for his own purposes.

She suggested that this choice of date could either be a deliberate slight or an example of the frustrations Meghan and Harry have long endured.

Elsa also pointed out a concerning aspect regarding the chosen weekend for the coronation.

She believes that the historic day, which marked the addition of the first mixed-race member to the royal family, will now be overshadowed by the crowning of King Charles.

This move may sting for Harry and Meghan, especially as the world awaits news on whether Harry will proceed with his upcoming memoir.

The question now arises as to whether the Sussexes will attend the coronation.

Royal commentator and journalist Kinsey Schofield stated that they will receive invitations, despite their previous behavior being deemed destructive.

However, it has been revealed that the guest list will be significantly reduced compared to Queen Elizabeth II's coronation in 1953.

While 8,000 attendees graced that occasion, only 2,000 will be present for King Charles III's coronation.

This downsizing of the guest list is indicative of Charles' streamlined approach to the monarchy.

According to reports from the Mail on Sunday, the iconic balcony moment at Buckingham Palace will feature a slimmed-down version of the royal family.

Joining King Charles will be Queen Consort Camilla, Prince William, Catherine Princess of Wales, and their children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis.

A royal source speculates that the balcony scene might consist solely of Charles, Camilla, Kate, William, and their children.

With Harry and Meghan stepping down from their royal duties and relocating to Los Angeles in 2020, it appears that Charles aims to prioritize his new tight-knit monarchy for significant events.

In conclusion, the coronation date for King Charles III has been set for May 6th, 2023.

This earlier date surprised many who anticipated an early June ceremony.

The coincidence of Archie's fourth birthday on the same day has caused some discontent among the Sussex squad.

However, May 6th holds historical significance in the royal family, as it marks the ascension of King George V in 1910.

The choice of this date has raised eyebrows and is seen by some as a deliberate snub or an expression of long-held frustrations.
