The message that King Charles III and Queen Camilla entrusted today to a Buckingham Palace spokesman the day after the popular response to the solemn coronation in Westminster Abbey in London is a moving thank you. The sovereigns say they are “deeply touched” by the reception received and “deeply grateful” to all those who helped organize the event as part of “such a glorious occasion”, said the spokesman. Not without underlining “the number” of those who have shown “support for their majesties”, and will continue to do so in the celebratory events scheduled in London and in the Kingdom today and tomorrow.
