The candid moment between Charles and Prince William during the Coronation rehearsals that proves how close they are

-

 Prince William played a significant role King Charles's Coronation at Westminster Abbey on May 6, 2023.

As heir to the throne, he was tasked with draping the Stole over his father's shoulders as a symbol of the sacred nature of kingship as well as securing the Imperial Mantle - the robe worn at the moment of crowning.Apple iPad (10th Generation): with A14 Bionic chip, 10.9-inch Liquid Retina Display, 64GB, Wi-Fi 6, 12MP front/12MP Back Camera, Touch ID, All-Day Battery Life – Silver

But in a candid clip captured during rehearsals for the Coronation on May 3, 2023, it became clear that William had a far more important role to play

Pomp and ceremony aside, he was simply a son supporting his father on what was the most momentous day of his life.

In the BBC documentary Charles III: The Coronation Year, Prince William practises with the clasp on the Imperial Mantle, also known as the Robe Royal or Pallium Regale.

'It's quite a small catch,' William said. 'On the day, it's not going to go in, is it?'

'No,' Charles said as he bursts into laughter. 'You haven't got sausage fingers like mine.'

The father-son pair then run through the homage - the touching moment in the ceremony where William pledges his allegiance to the King.

As William attempts to fasten the clasp on the Imperial Mantle during rehearsals, he jokes with his father that it won't work on the day

  Prince Harry's security issues were 'examined repeatedly' by the courts,   Buckingham Palace   has said in a blunt response to his claims it was an 'establishment stitch-up'.  The  Duke of Sussex  tonight launched a series of scathing attacks on the  Royal Family , saying he has been cut off from  King Charles  who 'won't speak to him'.  He revealed that he 'doesn't know how long his father has left', will not bring his wife or children back to the UK - and said he had had 'so many disagreements' with his family, some of whom 'may never forgive' him for writing a book.

  Following the death of Queen Elizabeth II, the Royal Family were keen to put on a show of unity.  But their choice of display has been described by Kate as 'one of the hardest things' she has ever had to do -  and Meghan hasn't been seen on UK soil since.  During the national mourning period,  Prince Harry  and  Prince William  observed the tributes and spoke to members of the public outside Windsor Castle   - just as they had outside of Buckingham Palace when their mother died.

  It may come as a surprise that, as the band are busily trying to put together another reunion tour, there is still one name missing from the line-up: Victoria, the most famous of all the Spice Girls.  So what's the reason for her being left out of the band's current project, which they hope will culminate into a string of concerts across the globe next year?  https://amzn.to/3YdCV0X For after decades of tension and animosity, the four other Spice Girls - Mel B, Mel C, Geri Horner and Emma Bunton - are again back working with their creator and former manager.  It's all in the hope that the foursome can embark on a potentially lucrative tour to mark the 30th anniversary of their 1996 debut single, Wannabe, next year.
