Royal News Roundup: Charles Finally Gets That Promotion, Camilla Loses the ‘Consort’ & More

• King Charles III was officially coronated on Saturday, May 6, as monarch of the United Kingdom.
• Most of the royal family was present at the ceremony in Westminster Abbey, including Prince Harry. However, Meghan Markle stayed home to watch over the pair's two kids (but she did get a nod in the official coronation program).
• Prince Harry then jetted home to be with his wife and kids, which made him notably absent from the Buckingam Palace balcony following the crowning.
• The ceremony took place on the same day as a few other important events in the family, including Prince Archie's 4th birthday and the wedding anniversary of Queen Camilla's daughter, Laura Lopes. The queen consort made a wink to her daughter's anniversary with her Robe of Estate, which was embroidered with the flower that made up Lopes's wedding bouquet.
• Speaking of consorts, Buckingham Palace dropped the word from Queen Camilla's official title on the royal family website.

• All eyes were on the royal family members, including Prince Harry, whose body language indicated that he didn't “seem fazed by the fact he is on his own, he [seemed] to be quite happy,” according to expert Darren Stanton on behalf of Betfair Casino.
• Meanwhile, King Charles's body language suggested that he was quite nervous at the beginning, but as the ceremony at Westminster Abbey progressed, he appeared more at ease (even if he seemed a little emo, too).
• Prince Harry and Prince William were not seen interacting during the ceremony, however, Prince Harry did have a special moment with his cousin's husband, Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi.
• Of course, Prince George caught everyone's eye as one of the Pages of Honour, where he made history as the youngest future monarch to ever participate in a coronation ceremony. Queen Camilla's grandsons, and her grand-nephew, also served as Pages of Honour.
• Still, Prince Louis stole everyone's thunder, pulling out more of his hilarious facial expressions (and yawning throughout most of the day).

• The best royal fashion was also on display at the coronation, where Kate Middleton matched with her daughter, Princess Charlotte, as both donned floral headpieces from Jess Collett x Alexander McQueen.
• Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie wore eye-catching headwear too, with the former sporting a wide golden headband and the latter choosing an intricate navy fascinator.
• Queen Camilla made a wink to the late Queen Elizabeth II with her crown, which was updated with diamonds beloved by the monarch.
• Guest (and coronation concert performer) Katy Perry stunned in a lilac Vivienne Westwood gown.
• Across the pond, Meghan Markle went for a hike in California, where she donned a crystal necklace designed by her pal Abigail Spencer in collaboration with the brand Maya Brenner.

• The coronation included many notable family interactions, including one sweet moment when Prince William performed the Royal Homage and kissed his father on the cheek. Immediately after, King Charles was seen saying, “Thank you, William.”
• Prince Harry seemed especially reverent in one clip, where he went for a long bow as his father processed past.
• After the ceremony at Westminster Abbey, King Charles and Queen Camilla shared a romantic moment on the Buckingham Palace balcony, where they seemed so in love as they smiled at one another.
• Princess Charlotte was seen showing off her royal etiquette, when she curtseyed to her granddad as he arrived to the coronation concert. She also showed off her impressive royal wave along with her siblings.
• We had our eyes on the new Fab Four, but they did not have any interactions at the coronation ceremony (likely due to the fact that they were seated rows apart).

• In typical royal fashion, the weekend was full of historical significance, from King Charles's coronation cross (which is believed to contain pieces from the crucifixion cross) to the procession coaches (the Gold State Coach is 260 years old, while the Diamond Jubilee State Coach was built for QEII's Diamond Jubilee).
• King Charles made a wink to his horse-loving mother by using the steed from her funeral procession to lead his own coronation procession.
• The anointing of King Charles was hidden from the public with a screen, because this moment has historically been considered a sacred interaction between the sovereign and God.
• Sarah Ferguson was notably absent from the coronation, but weeks before, the Duchess of York had confirmed she wouldn't be present, due to her divorce from Prince Andrew.
• At the coronation concert, Prince William made a speech to honor his father, giving a shoutout to Queen Elizabeth in the process.

• After an event-filled coronation weekend, the excitement only continued, as King Charles and Queen Camilla made a stop by American Idol.
• The official portraits from the coronation were also released, including a regal portrait of King Charles and an equally grand photo of Queen Camilla.
• The Prince and Princess of Wales were in full parenting mode as they paid a visit to the 3rd Upton Scout Group with all three of their kids.
• Only a couple days later, the couple matched in baby blue while attending a garden party held at Buckingham Palace.
• And if you want any insider details, Royally Obsessed podcast hosts and royal experts Rachel Bowie and Roberta Fiorito gave their takes on the 5 moments from coronation weekend that caught their eye.
