The King grumbled "we can never be on time” and "there’s always something” following a hiccup at the start of his coronation, a lip reader has claimed. Charles and Camilla arrived at Westminster Abbey early, while the Prince and Princess of Wales – accompanied by Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis, were late, missing their scheduled arrival time.
It meant the King and Queen were forced to wait outside, sat in their Diamond Jubilee State Coach, for some time for William and Kate to get there before Charles and Camilla could make their grand entrance. William and Kate were due to arrive at 10.45am, while Charles and Camilla’s arrival had been set for 10.53am in the carefully organised schedule, planned months in advance.
A lip reader for Sky News said the King complained that it was a “negative”, allegedly remarking: “This is boring.” The news channel reported that the frustrated-looking monarch said: "We can never be on time. Yes I’m…This is a negative. There’s always something…This is boring."
