Prince William made major demand about Carole Middleton at King Charles' Coronation
dailyrecord.co.ukA new royal book has revealed that Prince William was absolutely "insistent" on ensuring his mother-in-law Carole Middleton had a prominent role at King Charles' Coronation.The book, penned by Robert Hardman and titled 'Charles III: The Inside Story', suggests that the Prince of Wales stood firm on his stance regarding the inclusion of Kate's family in the ceremony.
William's unwavering insistence meant there was no other option but to acquiesce to his wishes.Hardman interprets this move as a clear indicator of the shifting dynamics within the Royal Family since Queen Elizabeth's era, which spanned seven decades.According to Hardman, William made a "direct request" for the Middletons to not only be present but also to be seated in a distinguished position.
This decision starkly contrasts with the treatment of some traditional members of the extended Royal Family. For instance, the Queen Mother's lineage, the Bowes Lyons, were represented by merely two individuals, reports the Mirror.
