This Saturday, May 6, 2023, Charles III concluded his coronation ceremony in style by going to the balcony of Buckingham Palace to greet the jubilant crowd. An appearance punctuated by a tender gesture from Camilla Parker Bowles towards her husband.
God save the King! This Saturday, May 6, 2023 will remain a day marked forever in the minds of many Britons. After a lavish ceremony at Westminster Abbey, where Charles III and Camilla Parker Bowles saw themselves crowned in front of an audience of 2,000 guests, the couple headed for Buckingham. On the balcony of the palace, a true showcase of the happy days of the royal family, the new sovereign and the queen consort appeared all smiles to wave to the cheering crowd, enjoy the Royal Air Force show and listen to the sound of bagpipes. And if the presence of the Prince and Princess of Wales as well as that of their three darlings succeeded in making people forget the absence of Prince Harry, a surprising gesture of the queen consort was also highlighted.
Indeed, after this walkabout, when leaving the famous balcony which has become a symbol of the British Crown since Queen Victoria came there to greet her subjects during the Universal Exhibition of 1851, Camilla Parker Bowles touched with his hand the torso of his half. A symbolic outpouring for the queen consort who has long lived with the ghost of Princess Diana. As proof, Prince Harry described it in his autobiographyThe Alternateas the “evil” who wanted “the crown”. Having proven herself within the royal family, Camilla Parker Bowles has nevertheless succeeded over the years in making people forget her label of “mistress”. What to imagine the important emotion that this one certainly felt this May 6 on this balcony which saw love triumph more than one time.

In recognition of her loyal public service since our marriage, she becomes my queen consort and I know that she will bring to the demands of her new responsibilities a devotion on which I have relied these many years.”, had thus confided with emotion the son of the late Elizabeth II.
