The Coronation Of Charles III, the ‘Green’ King by Alfred N.Muggins Part 3

Part 3

    Charles was now fully King, with his lovely Queen Camilla, in beautiful white dress! He was a full King at last, with the whole weight of the erstwhile Empire, now Commonwealth, and the whole wide world upon his shoulders, upon his head, and in his hands, so to speak! He was a King to inspire peace and understanding, and hope for all the future, to keep at bay the chaos of war and conflict, a shepherd to guide and care for the millions within, and even without, his designated flock. He represents now the melding, indeed the wedding together of disparate peoples and religions, ages and politics, left right and all things in between, whether they completely like it or not.

     Like Christ, bearing his own cross, stumbling and needing assistance to carry, the Crown seemed so heavy that Charles needed the assistance of Bishops to stand, carrying also the orb, sceptre and rod! The whole weight of the world is upon him now. Thankfully this man is a proven moderator, a cautious and sensible, and caring man. Everyone was conscious that the Monarchy can only go forward if it continues to care for its people and the wider world, as a servant to the world, and not as its Master!

     As they came out of Westminster Abbey and back to Buckingham Palace in the golden carriage, for a classic balcony appearance, the crowds bearing Union Jacks and other flags were allowed to walk down Pall Mall in the rain, which seemed not to dampen enthusiasm for the New King and erstwhile Prince. It occurred to Alfred that instead of using the traditional name Westminster Abbey, that as it was raining outside, they could call it Wetminster Abbey today! Once all were in place there was a magnificent Flypast by military helicopters and the Red Arrows (jet display formation), probably reduced for safety by the heavy rain bearing cloud cover.

PS.

Handel is now making a comeback, and is now once again one of the most popular artists in the UK, a resurrection of sorts! Zadok the Priest apparently anointed and crowned King Soloman after the demise of his father King David. Unfortunately he was not available for the King Charles III’s Coronation, due to the impossibility of using Time Travel at the time of David and Soloman, so the Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby had to do it instead, which was perfectly fitting as he was in charge of the Church of England, on behalf of the new King!
