As the United Kingdom marks the one-year anniversary of King Charles’s coronation, a surprising detail emerges about the day’s events that nearly caused a major snafu for the incoming monarch.

Amidst the pomp and pageantry of the occasion, a seemingly innocuous moment involving Prince William and Princess Catherine threatened to throw the carefully orchestrated ceremony off course.

According to reports, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge’s insistence on documenting the event for social media led to a delay in their arrival at Westminster Abbey.

Witnesses observed a tense exchange between the royal couple as they prepared to enter the Abbey for King Charles’s coronation.

Cameras captured a moment of concern between the Prince and Princess of Wales, with Catherine reportedly reminding William to “mind the gown” as they waited to begin the procession. The heir to the throne reassured his wife, saying, “Don’t worry, I got it.”

Fortunately, there were no visible hiccups with the robes during the procession or the rest of the coronation ceremony. However, when the official coronation photos were later released, eagle-eyed royal fans noticed a mysterious detail that sent them into a frenzy.

Royal expert Daniela Elser commented on the incident, suggesting that the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge’s desire to document the day for Instagram may have caused the delay. Elser cited Royal biographer Robert Hardman’s remarks about the couple’s tardiness, noting that they arrived precisely eight minutes later than King Charles and Camilla.

The delay in the Cambridges’ arrival prompted a frantic rewriting of the running order for the ceremony. Instead of entering ahead of the king and queen as planned, William and Catherine were forced to follow behind, bringing up the rear with their children, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis.

Despite the last-minute reshuffling, many observers assumed that Prince William’s supportive gesture of walking behind his father during the ceremony was intentional. Meanwhile, Princess Catherine donned an additional cape over her dress to protect it from the heavy mantle and chains required for the occasion.

For the official coronation photos, the princess removed the cape, revealing an intricate V-shaped neckline adorned with the stunning George V 6 Feston necklace, a gift to the late Queen Elizabeth in 1950. Her McQueen dress, crafted from ivory silk crepe with silver bullion and threadwork embroidery featuring national motifs, showcased the elegance and tradition of the royal family.

Ultimately, while the royal Instagramming may have caused a momentary hiccup on King Charles’s coronation day, the ceremony proceeded without any major disruptions. However, the incident serves as a reminder of the delicate balance between tradition and modernity in the monarchy’s public image.
