“Reaper” Unveiled at Coronation: The Talk of the Square!
Prince Charles has been crowned King of England III in a grand ceremony held in the capital city of London. At the age of 74, he wore the historic St. Edward’s Crown, which is a symbol of the monarchy. It was the first coronation in England since 1953, and Charles pledged to rule with justice and compassion, promoting an environment where all faiths are free to live.
Following the coronation, Charles was presented with the globe and scepter, two of the royal symbols, by Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby, who then placed the Crown of St. Edward on his head. This made Charles the 40th monarch to be crowned at Westminster Abbey.
Although the coronation ceremony was attended by the royal family, statesmen, clergy, and representatives of various countries, it was marred by anti-monarchy protests. The police detained Graham Smith, leader of the anti-monarchy group Republic, and 51 other demonstrators who were protesting King III’s coronation.
The protests were held on The Mall in London, and the police detained 14 individuals on charges of possessing drugs and knives. Twelve people were arrested in St. Martin’s Lane and Whitehall streets, 6 in Soho and Wellington Arch, and 2 in St. James Park.
The British police’s detention of demonstrators received criticism, while others praised the police for their efforts to maintain safety during the coronation ceremony. The London police reminded people that their main responsibility is to ensure the safety of people during such events.
As the news of the coronation ceremony circulated worldwide, The Sun newspaper captured a mysterious image that appeared on many social media platforms. While waiting for King Charles to arrive, royal fans, and many others encountered someone that looked like the Grim Reaper ‘Azrael.’ Some people believed that the person was one of the clergy members attending the ceremony and wearing ceremonial clothes. However, no official statement has been made yet in this regard.
