The Monarch Carlos III could have asked his sister to be his personal security assistant, according to leaks in the British media.
In recent days, the important roles that members of the British royal family will play during the historic coronation of Charles III of the United Kingdom have been revealed. According to sources cited by the Mirror, Princess Anne, the monarch's sister, is also expected to play a prominent role before and after the ceremony to be held on May 6.
Although it has not yet been officially confirmed, the second of the late Queen Elizabeth II's children would correspond to being 'Gold-Stick-in-Waiting' (it could be translated as 'Palo de Oro') by the decision of Carlos III himself, that he would like to reward his sister for her years in the service of the British Crown. We explain in detail everything she knows.
The role of Princess Anne
It is an honorary role today but with a great tradition behind it, since it dates back to the 15th century, from the times of the Tudor dynasty. Then it was determined that two elite officials should be chosen, a Palo de Oro and a Palo de Plata, who would be in charge of safeguarding the king's safety during the coronation, and therefore should always be with him.
Therefore, this would imply that Princess Ana would have the privilege of leading the procession on horseback that will take place after the coronation of Carlos and Camila. The king and queen will travel in the royal carriage, followed by her princess, and behind her will march 6,000 members of the British army.
For Princess Ana, it will be the second coronation that she has experienced in person, although she may have few memories of the first since she was only three years old when her mother was celebrated on June 2, 1953.
According to the sources, it was Carlos II himself who informed his sister Anne of him of the decision in person, who felt honored and accepted the assignment immediately. "The king thus rewards the princess for her loyalty and her devotion to her duty," according to the sources. She would also be the first woman in the history of the United Kingdom to fulfill that role and she would do it dressed in a military uniform.
