Royal butler spots subtle tributes to late Queen and Prince Philip in Coronation invites

King Charles' Coronation is set to take place on Saturday, and the event will be the first since His Majesty's mother, Queen Elizabeth II, was coronated in 1953 - making it the first time many of us will see a coronation ceremony in action.

The late Queen sadly passed away in September 2022 at the age of 96, and according to one former Royal butler, King Charles has made sure to honour his mum - as well as his dad, Prince Philip, who died in 2021 - throughout the planning process for his upcoming coronation.

Grant Harrold explained that the invitations that were sent out for the Coronation included a subtle nod to Queen Elizabeth, as they featured forget-me-not flowers that the late monarch loved.
