Prince + Princess of Wales
At the Scottish coronation, they are in a good mood and a little cheeky
Despite some protests, Prince William and Catherine, Princess of Wales, appeared in good spirits at the coronation of King Charles in Scotland.
Prince William gets a little smack from his wife Kate
In several pictures taken before, during and after the service, both appear to be in good spirits. One photo shows Kate beaming as she enters St. Giles’ Cathedral. Others show her whispering something in her William’s ear and even appearing to give him a little smack on the bum during the service.
At the ceremony, Charles was presented with the Scottish Crown Jewels. These include a crown and scepter as well as a sword of state. A sword from the collection, which dates from the 16th century, is now too fragile, it was said in the run-up to the celebration. Therefore a new sword had been made, the “Elizabeth Sword”, named after Charles’ deceased mother, Queen Elizabeth, †96.

King Charles faced with protests
As part of the celebrations, there were also loud protests along the Royal Mile. When the royals arrived in front of the cathedral, not only cheering was heard, but also “Not My King” calls. The British “BBC” reportsthat a small group of demonstrators were arrested after the service.
