It will be exciting: The coronation of King Charles III. is getting closer and the royals have not yet revealed which artists will perform at the ceremony. Now, however, the first information about the line-up is leaking out.
The Coronation of King Charles III. is to be celebrated, among other things, with a concert at Windsor Castle. As the British “The Sun” reports, a successful British band could be on stage for the occasion. Accordingly, Gary Barlow, Mark Owen and Howard Donald are to perform as Take That. There is also speculation that Jason Orange, who left the group in 2014, is joining his former colleagues for the concert.
Robbie Williams, who left the band in 1995 and started out as a solo artist, is said to have ruled out performing with the band. “The biggest names and acts in world music are being considered for the concert,” a source told The Sun. “Take That was at the top of that list and a real coup for the organizers.” Other acts of the evening, which is to be broadcast live on the BBC, are Kylie Minogue and sister Dannii Minogue or Lionel Richie.
The coronation ceremony will take place on May 6th in London’s Westminster Abbey. 2000 guests should be invited. On the day there will also be a carriage procession and the traditional appearance of the royal family on the balcony of Buckingham Palace. On Sunday, May 7th, the music concert and light show are planned at Windsor Castle. On May 8th, the British will have an additional public holiday with events in honor of people who do voluntary work.
It is still uncertain whether Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan will arrive for the coronation. A source close to the couple told The Mirror that Harry would first like to meet the king and his older brother, Prince William.
“Harry has been very clear and has not wavered in his position – he will not come if he feels the atmosphere will be as toxic as it was during the Platinum Jubilee and the Queen’s funeral,” he said informant quoted.
