From Katy Perry looking lost to Prince Louis' yawns: Hilarious moments from King Charles III's coronation
Hilarious moments from King Charles III's coronation you can't afford to miss
For the first time in over seven decades, the United Kingdom witnessed a monarch's coronation ceremony that made headlines not just in the country but all over the world. Blending ancient rituals that date back a thousand years with a modern and more diverse face of Great Britain with its many faiths, King Charles III's coronation reflected the monarch's role today and look towards the future. A host of prominent guests descended on Westminster Abbey, London on Saturday (6 May) to watch the King getting anointed and formally crowned.
During and before the 2-hour-long ceremony, several awkward and eyebrow-raising moments caught the attention of netizens and in no time, the internet got flooded with hilarious memes and commentary.
Just as the live stream started on BBC and The Royal Family YouTube channel, a video of Katy Perry, who is set to take the stage at the star-studded coronation concert tomorrow, struggling to find her seat at Westminster Abbey went viral on social media. The moment triggered a meme-fest online.
Reacting to the video, a fan wrote, "Katy Perry's Search for Her Throne Interrupted by Royal Guards Mistaking Her for a Peasant. (sic)" Another commented, "Her seat is in front of the altar where she’ll be crowned." And, a third commented, "She looks like she came back to her thinking of you era omg gorgeous."
