King Charles took break when Prince Louis showed up at Coronation rehearsal

He’d just done two weeks of this, and he’d had enough.

I was watching him glaze over in the coronation chair.”Dame Penny Mourdat held the ceremonial Sword of State during the ceremony.He told at the Literature Festival: “And then he suddenly sprung to life because beside him was Prince Louis, who had come to visit.

They stopped the rehearsal so that he could show Prince Louis all the Crown Jewels.

That’s a memory that I shall treasure.”“Before the ceremony kicked off, we were all lined up in the cloisters in Westminster Abbey, ready for when the end of the procession had come through London.

We would join the end and, as we went up the aisle, then the Royal Family would arrive, timed to perfection.“But I was going to have to wait around with this whopping great sword, and I thought, we’ve got to stand here for a couple of hours before we even go in.

I’m not having that.” King Charles took break when Prince Louis showed up at Coronation rehearsal October 13, 2026.
