King Charles ‘to choose’ either ‘sacred anointing with holy oil or daytime soap?’

King Charles warned that with Prince Harry in attendance, he will not be able to have a “sacred anointing with holy oil” but something more akin to “a bar of daytime soap?”

These claims have been made by royal author, Allison Pearson, in his most recent piece for the New Zealand Herald.

Pearson wrote, “Is that really what our King wants at his Coronation? I bet it’s not what a smarting Prince and Princess of Wales want. (William is said, with justification, to be concerned his brother will pull some “stunt”.)”

“It’s certainly not what the British people want. In fact, there is a real worry that we will think a lot less of our new monarch should he be seen to capitulate to an ungrateful couple who have insulted both our country and the institution Charles now embodies.”

“By all means invite Harry and Meghan to a private celebration, but don’t allow them to turn a solemn occasion into a tawdry family drama. Sacred anointing with holy oil or a bar of daytime soap? The King must choose, and choose wisely.”
