Will Princess Leonor attend the coronation of Carlos III? This is the reason why he should represent the Spanish royal house at the ceremony, at almost 18 years old

Various personalities will gather on May 6 to witness the coronation of England’s King Charles, which is classified as the most anticipated event of the year. It is an event attended by important persons, close friends of the crown, and Princess Leonor is also expected to attend.

As part of the preparations for the ceremony, it is known that the Patriarch of Jerusalem Blessed Theophilos III and Anglican Archbishop Justin Welby have already consecrated the holy oil with which the new monarch will be anointed in Westminster Abbey, reports Tiempox.

And that is that, as Vanitatis explains, the law establishes that no new acting king may be present at the coronation of the British king since the sacred ceremony is an intimate act between the monarch and his people in the presence of God. For protocol reasons, this law prevents the new king from giving way to other members of the royal family who were anointed before him.

Given this rule, everything indicates that it would be Princess of Asturias which represents Royal House of Spain in a ceremony at Westminster Abbey, although it is not out of the question that England’s King Charles will continue to make changes and break with tradition by allowing his peers to accompany him on this occasion.

“I’m sure His Majesty will add his personal touches to the ceremony,” Prince Albert of Monaco told reporters, Vanitatis review. This leaves open the possibility that the current rulers will attend the coronation. (AND)
