• The coronation of King Charles has been proclaimed by Prince Albert.
• The coronation of King Charles III is due to take place in May this year.
• Some people were caught off guard by the announcement.

The coronation of King Charles III of the United Kingdom has been proclaimed by Prince Albert of Monaco and his wife Charlene.

Some people were caught off guard by the announcement.

It was a “bit strange for Prince Albert of Monaco to say he and Charlene are going to the Coronation,” according to Marlene Koenig, an authority on European royals.

She stated: “Sovereign heads of state do not attend a UK Coronation. In 1953, Prince Pierre represented the Monaco.”

She stated that Caroline, the sister of Albert, was being expected to attend the coronation of King Charles which is due to take place in May.

“The tradition has been for someone to represent a sovereign — other sovereigns have seniority over Charles — this is his event,” according to Marlene.

Following discussions with the Monaco Crown Council, the Palais Princier declared on March 31, 2005, that Albert would succeed his father as regent since Rainier was no longer able to carry out his princely duties. Rainier passed away on April 6, 2005, and Albert became Albert II in his place.
