Just weeks after King Charles III’s coronation, Prince William, the first in line to the throne, is already considering how his own ceremony should unfold.
According to insiders, William envisions a coronation that “looks and feels different”—more modern and reflective of the times.
This likely means moving away from some traditional elements, such as the public oath of allegiance to the monarch, which was a notable feature of Charles’ coronation at the urging of Archbishop Justin Welby.
Many found this tradition outdated, arguing that in a democratic society, it should be the leader who pledges allegiance to the people.
A source from the Daily Mirror suggests that William is keenly aware that when his time comes, his coronation must not only resonate with the world but also bring together the nation and the Commonwealth.
While some monarchy supporters worry that the ceremony might stray too far from tradition, it’s worth noting that King Charles III also set aside some age-old customs during his coronation, earning praise for his modern approach.
