King Charles' Coronation comment sparks 'real fears' he could trip over elaborate gown

Palace aides are worried that King Charles III could trip over his elaborate royal gown during the Coronation service, according to a royal source.

With the huge ceremony now just a few weeks away, extensive rehearsals featuring the monarch and Queen Consort Camilla have reportedly been taking place over recent days at a "mock-up" Westminster Abbey built inside Buckingham Palace.

But after a number of reported mishaps, the Mirror has learnt that some Palace officials are concerned the sacred royal robes could cause the 74-year-old problems on the day - potentially even leading him to trip over in front of a global audience of millions.
