Royal fans 'howling' as they spot 'two spare Camillas' at King Charles' Coronation

King Charles has officially been crowned as monarch in a monumental Coronation ceremony at Westminster Abbey.

Millions of royal fans watched the historical moment unfold from the comfort of their own homes, while thousands of lined the streets of London in drizzly weather to support the King.

While most will have been eager to see the dazzling crowns, the fabulous outfits and the crowning moment itself, some have been keeping an eye out for any hiccups and amusing moments along the way.

These moments have been shared on Twitter and one in particular is giving viewers a good laugh.

As King Charles entered the Abbey, some people noticed that the two women walking ahead of him bore a striking resemblance to his wife, Queen Camilla.

Broadcaster Nicola Thorp took to the internet to joke: "Nice to see they brought two spare Camillas just in case."

She tweeted a screenshot from the ceremony to highlight her point, and the two women could be seen wearing very similar white dresses to the one Camilla is wearing and they also share similar blonde hairstyles.

The two women from the clip are the Queen's Coronation Companions, and the lady on the right should look rather familiar as she is Camilla's sister, Annabel Elliot.

Annabel, aged 74, is an interior designer and antiques expert and is said to be close with Charles and Camilla.

The other is Fiona Mary Petty-Fitzmaurice, the Marchioness of Lansdowne, who has served as one of six Queen's Copanions to Queen Camilla since 2022.

The 'spares' post went viral, being viewed over 171,000 times and garnering over 11,500 likes.

Many were quick to reply that they had also thought the same thing when they'd spotted the two ladies.

One person replied: "Hahahaha I said this - they've got the Camilla look."

Another said: "I thought the one on the right was actually Camilla."

"Haha thanks for the giggle," shared a third.

Someone else wrote: "This tweet just made me howl with laughter."

While a different user added: "Hahaha I was like 'who are the lookalikes' Are they her ladies in waiting?"
