King Charles’ coronation and the royals discussed by New Yorkers

King Charles and Queen Camilla reportedly “stayed off booze” after the Coronation ceremony “to keep clear heads” in a private family drinks party. On Saturday, King Charles was crowned alongside Queen Camilla in a prestigious ceremony at Westminster Abbey in front of around 2,300 guests in a broadcast beamed across the globe.

After the official ceremony was completed, most of the family reportedly decamped to Windsor Castle where they held a private family drinks party.

During the party, the family were offered glasses of fizz and canapes including mini broad bean and tarragon Coronation quiches, which was the official dish of the Coronation weekend.

However, on both occasions, very little alcohol was served as everyone needed to “keep a clear head”, reported MailOnline.

According to the report, no-one was inclined to hang around at the palace, the monarch’s official London residence, after yesterday’s ceremony as it is still undergoing extensive renovations.

Staff even had to put down temporary floorboards in order for the family to get to the balcony to wave to the crowds.

It is also reported that King Charles raised a glass to toast the fourth birthday of Prince Harry’s son Archie at Buckingham Palace on Saturday in a moving to tribute to the grandson he has barely seen.

Despite the ongoing acrimony with Harry, who was on a plane back to the US within hours of his father being crowned, emotional Charles made a point of mentioning his absent grandchildren as well as those present on his big day.

The poignant moment came at a private family gathering at the palace following his Westminster Abbey crowning and appearance on the balcony with Queen Camilla.

Prince Harry attended the Coronation ceremony on Saturday along with other Royal family members.

His wife, Meghan, stayed behind with their son and daughter Lilibet, and was said to be organising a small party for family and friends.

It is understood that an invitation had been politely extended to Harry to join the family lunch but he decided to return to California to celebrate Archie’s big day.

Meanwhile, the country is all geared up to continue the Coronation celebrations with a Coronation concert this evening.
