(London = Yonhap News) Correspondent Choi Yoon-jeong = A day before the coronation ceremony, King Charles III made a surprise appearance in front of Buckingham Palace to greet supporters.

On the afternoon of the 5th (local time), the car in which Charles III was riding suddenly stopped at The Mall, a road in front of Buckingham Palace. Then, without warning, when Charles III descended, supporters standing on both sides cheered. He also chanted “God save the King”.

Charles III and Prince William shake hands with supporters, chat and take selfies together.

Supporters couldn’t hide their excitement at the unexpected meeting, and they said their legs were shaking from so much surprise.

On this day, it rained in London at one point, but the royal fans, who had pitched their tents a few days before and were homeless, did not care. Some were from the United States as well as England.

“I’m excited, but I’m a bit nervous,” Duchess Kate Middleton was asked about her children before the coronation, the BBC reported.

Prince William’s eldest son and second in line to the throne, Prince George, serves as Charles III’s boot of honor at the coronation. Princess Charlotte, her youngest child, Prince Louis, watches the coronation ceremony.

Prior to this, King Charles III and others held their last rehearsal at Westminster Abbey in the morning and had lunch at Buckingham Palace with the Prime Minister and Governor-General of the British Commonwealth.

Afterwards, they will meet the leaders of the Commonwealth and hold a reception at Buckingham Palace by inviting foreign delegations, including Jill Biden, who attended on behalf of US President Joe Biden, in the evening.

On coronation weekend, the royal family has revealed that the voices of Charles III and his wife will appear on announcements at British train stations and London Underground stations.

Charles III said, “My wife and I wish you and your families a wonderful Coronation Weekend,” and Queen Camilla added, “We wish you a safe and enjoyable journey wherever you go.”

Then, King Charles III emphasized a famous safety guide phrase in British subway history, saying, “Don’t forget. Mind the gap (between the train and the platform).”

Charles III recorded an announcement earlier this year.

Sky News reported that Liverpool FC of the English Premier League (EPL) announced that they would play the national anthem at the game on the day of the coronation ceremony. The EPL side strongly recommended that each club pay homage to King Charles III with a national anthem at the coronation ceremony.

The royal family announced that it would present coronation medals engraved with the faces of Charles III and his wife to 400,000 soldiers, police and paramedics who participated in the coronation ceremony.

Meanwhile, the Ministry of National Defense announced that if it rains on the 6th, the airborne ceremony scheduled to be held at the same time when Charles III and others will come out and greet the Buckingham Palace balcony may be canceled.
