While the newly crowned monarch was at the heart of many positive stories, commentators were not so charitable about Prince Harry
The coronation of King Charles dominated front pages around the globe, with many observers reflecting that the ceremony marked the modernisation of the British monarchy.
A glowing commentary by Michael Higgins in Canada’s National Post saying that Canadians could “rejoice in our new King”. However, he rejected the “homage of the people”, writing: “Whoever thought it was a good idea that the public — whether they be at home or abroad — should pledge allegiance to the King should be put in medieval stocks befitting a medieval idea. There is something deeply anachronistic and unsettling at expecting the ‘common man’ to pay homage to their monarch. Serfs have served their time.”
