King Charles and Queen Camilla will be crowned next week— however, a royal expert disapproved of the King's decisions ahead of his big day.
King Charles Giving Queen Camilla A Promotion Was Reportedly A Destruction To His Coronation
Former BBC journalist and investigative reporter Tom Bower weighed in on the preparation for the King's coronation on May 6. He didn't think having his wife crowned on the same day as his coronation was right.
Bower said GB News:
"I think the promotion of Camilla is also distracting from the importance of the coronation of the King."
GB News host Dan Wootton said Camilla didn't wish to be crowned. However, the King is "desperate for their marriage to finally be properly accepted."
Bower agreed with Wootton and said that it seemed King Charles was highlighting his marriage, not his crowning.
"She doesn't [like to be crowned], and really what you see with this constant promotion of Camilla and the photographs of two is it the coronation seems we're at the marriage not about the crowning of the king and somehow, in all, this is what I always feared about Charles."
He continued:
"He's lost sight of what actually this ceremony and what his reign is meant to embrace. He's not establishing himself as the key to a future era. He's now all just worried about whether people love Camilla what will they think about Harry and the olive branch, I mean, this is just nonsense."
King Charles Reportedly Reduced Coronation To Family Squabbles
Aside from talking about Queen Camilla's promotion, Bower felt that His Majesty had reduced his big day to family squabbles by thinking too much about his family affairs.
Bower said:
"He is losing sight of the coronation is all about the glory of the monarchy and of Britain, and he's reducing it to the squabbles in his family."
The Rebel author also claimed that King Charles couldn't make up his mind and was "self-indulgent [and] unable to fix his focus on what is necessary."
Bower added:
"I think he is, on one hand, he's being cowardly and he is constantly dithering. And because he just doesn't want to be disliked and he doesn't realize that the only way actually to impose a reign is as opposed to having an argument or whatever he normally did as Prince of Wales is you've got to be firm and he's not firm."
Bower added that King Charles should have just banned Prince Harry, doing so would have "shown a total purpose." He also suggested that the King clarify that his younger brother, disgraced royal Prince Andrew, has no role either.
