King Charles urged to ‘follow Queen’s precedent’ and ban non-working royals from balcony


Another, username rb2 wrote: “It’s a state occasion, not family. Any balcony appearance should be reserved for those who carry out duties for the UK state. Why should any non-working members of the British Royal Family get the privilege.”

And username truey4 said: “No, under any circumstances! The balcony appearance will be a focal point of the Coronation, a state occasion for people to see their newly coronated King.

“It is not a family occasion. Queen Elizabeth II at her Platinum Jubilee balcony appearance last June made this very clear, that only working royals should appear on the balcony under these circumstances.”

However, some argued that Princess Anne’s husband Sir Timothy Laurence should be an exception, like he was for the Jubilee. Username dacia commented: “No, non-working royals should not be on the balcony with the exception of Sir Timothy.”

And username whateveryousay remarked: “Definitely not. With the exception being Princess Anne’s husband.”
