LONDON, UK: King Charles had a special moment with his eldest son, Prince William, during the coronation ceremony at Westminster Abbey on May 6. The historic crowning happened seventy years after the coronation of the late Queen Elizabeth II. During the service, Prince William also played a vital role as he pledged his loyalty to the King.

Body language expert Carole Railton revealed to FEMAIL, “When William was in front of him he looked emotional to me. He is blinking a lot, showing a bit of stress for sure...He also appears tired and the previous deep breath gives notice that he is refreshing his self getting back in step.”

Amen.”

According to Buckingham Palace, “For almost a thousand years, Coronations have been held at Westminster Abbey, and the Order of Service draws on this long tradition, centered around the liturgical theme of ‘Called to Serve’ and The King’s solemn vow and commitment to serve God, and the people of the nations and the realms.”

“After the Coronation Service, at the Great West Door, The King will be greeted by five faith leaders, and Governors-General from the Realms. Their Majesties will then depart Westminster Abbey in the Gold State Coach for Buckingham Palace,” it adds.
