A frightened horse ran into the crowd, the crown almost fell and death by scythe: incidents at the coronation of Charles III. 7/5/2023, 8:55 am

A long procession took part in the solemn coronation procession of the king. One of the horses suddenly turned from the line of march and reared. It happened ten meters from the carriage in which Charles III was traveling. and his wife. The incident happened after the King and Queen were crowned in Westminster Abbey: they were heading to Buckingham Palace.

The frightened horse knocked over the metal barrier of the fence. One policewoman was injured: other law enforcement officers helped her from limping to one leg.

During the coronation itself, several members of the honor guard fainted. They needed medical attention. Among them was a Royal Navy officer and an ensign.

The crown weighing 2.33 kilograms almost fell off the monarch’s head during the coronation. The spiritual head of the Church of England, the Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby, crowned Charles III. only the second time. The archbishop even sat down to make sure the crown was placed evenly and did not fall off the king.

Katy Perry attended the coronation. The singer in an elegant lavender dress Vivienne Westwood almost collapsed at the exit of the abbey: the star stepped on the wet ground and the heel almost played a cruel prank on her. However, Katie managed to stay on her feet.

Not without some strange guests who clearly weren’t invited to the party. Eyewitnesses noticed a strange figure at the door of the abbey while the actual coronation ceremony was taking place. Something resembling death with a scythe in a black cloak was moving in the doorway.

The Coronation tried to disrupt the anti-monarchist group “Republic”. They staged a protest. Demonstrators carried placards reading “He is not my king” and demanded a halt to the coronation. The police detained more than 50 participants of this procession, including their leader Graham Smith.
