King’s Coronation: Express speak to royalists at The Mall
King Charles III’s Coronation will be showcased across the world this weekend with hundreds of thousands of viewers expected to tune in to watch the historic moment.
Yet King Charles has so far shown calmness and poise as he prepares for the busy day ahead.
Sky News presenter Kay Burley launched her podcast Queen Camilla: For the Love of Charles, ahead of the Coronation and she opened up about the monarch’s biggest hurdles.
“I think what’s going to be more challenging for the monarchy going forward is not people who throw eggs at them, but apathy.
“I think that is what will be a challenge for the King and Queen moving forward in order to make the monarchy relevant in the 21st century,” she exclusively told Express.co.uk.
After describing Queen Camilla as the King’s “rock who steadies him”, she discussed the challenges for the Royal Family post-coronation.
She said: “Apathy is something they are going to have to be very wary of and address.
“I think it’s…[the Queen] was a young pretty Queen in her 20s when she was crowned in 1953, whereas Charles by any measure is…known to have opinions.
“He’s not a blank slate, is he? He’s not going to be able to do that as King.

“But what he’s got to try and do is not just unite the country, but also the Commonwealth to the best of his ability.
“I think to have the woman by his side who he has been married to for such a long time… think about the public humiliation they went through.
“They went through all of that, she still stood by him throughout. Now they can enjoy their later years.
“They won’t be able to take their foot off the gas. They are going to have to continue to work hard and perhaps even harder than they did before.
“I think probably they may be able to save the monarchy but of course, that’s something that will be weighing heavily on him, not just the crown, on Saturday.”
The Coronation ceremony will take place at Westminster Abbey and will be conducted by the Archbishop of Canterbury.
The Ceremony itself will see His Majesty crowned alongside The Queen Consort.
The Royal Family said the Coronation will reflect the monarch’s role today and look towards the future, “while being rooted in longstanding traditions and pageantry”.
