Prince Harry makes strange excuse for snatching King Charles’s coronation medals
By Rahul | Published | No Comments
Royal insiders have claimed Prince Harry “had no intention of offending King Charles” during his awards speech.
The Duke of Sussex faced criticism for not wearing King Charles’s coronation medal during his video appearance last week.
Prince Harry, 39, has revealed a strange reason for not wearing King Charles’s coronation medal in a new video.
While presenting the “Soldier of the Year” award at a ceremony, Prince Harry decided not to wear the coronation medal given to him by his father, King Charles.
The Coronation Medal was awarded to all those who actively contributed to and supported the Emperor’s coronation which took place on 6 May last year.
Despite not wearing a medal, Harry wore four other British military medals, including one to commemorate the platinum jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II.
Royal commentator Ephraim Hardcastle wrote in The Daily Mail: “Harry’s failure to wear his father’s coronation medal was not intended to offend the king.
“My source whispered that the medal was ‘dangling’ on a short ribbon and needed to be glued to a longer ribbon to stop it moving around and sent to a specialist to be mounted on a hard backing.
“Maybe FedEx should have sent their travel guy to California to do the job for King.”
In the new video, Harry presented the award to the American combat medic, Sergeant First Class Elizabeth Marks, and praised the medic for her “courage, resilience and determination.”
Although the coronation medal was absent, Harry wore four military medals on his smart black suit jacket.
He wore his Operational Service Medal for Afghanistan, which he earned for his service in Helmand province in 2008, the late Queen’s Golden Jubilee Medal, awarded to all who served on active service for five years in 2002 Elizabeth’s Diamond Jubilee Medal, awarded to members of the emergency services, armed forces, prison service and the royal household, and the late Queen’s Platinum Jubilee Medal in 2012.
Harry traveled to the UK last May to attend the historic coronation to support his father.
