I’m talking to Tom Newton Dunn On “TalkTV” about the event for the first time, Uyunkar shared details of the special pre-coronation, explaining the meaning behind the presentation of the feather crown.
Through his translator, Uyunakr said, “So first I want to say that the crown comes from the Achuar people, from the Achuar nation and the first thing it symbolizes is respect.”
“For us, this is a sign of respect. It is an honor that is given to someone who is an authority, who was, in this case King Carlos, very committed to the protection of biological diversity, to the protection of nature,” said the Amazonian leader.
The chief had previously said that he would like to place a crown on the king’s head as a sign of respect, adding, “On behalf of the Representative People and on behalf of the sacred alliance of the Headwaters, I would like to offer you, Your Majesty, I would like to offer His Majesty a crown to place on his head. That would be our delivery method, to hand him the crown.”

Buckingham Palace has not officially announced the event
Buckingham Palace did not publicly announce the event, after King Charles pledged to stop advocating for causes that could be seen as political when he succeeded to the throne from Queen Isabel II eight months ago.
