2023-05-07 Britain

[NYPOST] King Charles III was crowned Saturday in a once-in-a-generation coronation spectacle at London’s Westminster Abbey — but the historic occasion was marred by family drama.

In a dazzling display of royal triumph, Charles, 74, sat upon the 700-year-old oak Coronation Chair in front of world leaders, foreign royals and celebrities for Britain’s biggest ceremonial event in seven decades.

For the first time since the late Queen Elizabeth II’s coronation in 1953, Britain crowned a new monarch.

“I come not to be served but to serve,” Charles declared.

However, amid the excitement and pomp and ceremony, the service marked the first time that rogue royal Prince Harry, 38, came face-to-face with his dad since the release of his protocol-shattering memoir, “Spare.”

It’s also the first time Harry saw his estranged brother and heir to the throne Prince William, 40, his wife, Kate Middleton, 41, and their kids — Prince Louis, 5, Princess Charlotte, 8, and Prince George, 9.

Meanwhile, scandal-scarred Prince Andrew, 63, who has been tied to pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, was loudly booed as he traveled through London to attend the ceremony.

#4 Harry never spoke with his Dad or Wills at the ceremony. Left the UK immediately after the Ceremony at the Cathedral. The BBC coverage never focused on Harry once, but the ABC coverage kept trying to keep him in the coverage, but he left quickly.

The military Pomp and Circumstances was executed flawlessly as far as I could see. The Back Lawn of the Palace where the massed troops executed the grounding of weapons, removal of headgear and a crisp three cheers for the King was perfectly done. Never seen that done before, tried to imagine the Marines doing it for Jojo, just kept laughing...
