<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/king-charles" target="_blank" rel="noopener">King Charles III</a> went viral when he embraced the New Zealand Women’s Rugby Union team after the girls asked for a hug during a reception at Buckingham Palace.
On September 11, the king hosted a special reception in the Bow Room where he met the women&#8217;s rugby team, nicknamed the &#8220;Black Ferns,” ahead of their upcoming match against their English counterparts, the &#8220;Red Roses,” <a href="https://www.newsweek.com/king-charles-surprise-hug-viral-video-tiktok-1952512">Newsweek</a> reported.
“We all wanted a hug, but only if that&#8217;s OK with you?&#8221; one person on the team asked Charles in a video posted on the team’s <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@blackferns/video/7413470134871903509?embed_source=121374463%2C121451205%2C121439635%2C121433650%2C121404359%2C121351166%2C72778571%2C121331973%2C120811592%2C120810756%3Bnull%3Bembed_like&amp;refer=embed&amp;referer_url=www.newsweek.com%2Fking-charles-surprise-hug-viral-video-tiktok-1952512&amp;referer_video_id=7413470134871903509">TikTok</a>.
In response, the King looked a bit surprised before he replied, &#8220;A hug? Why not!&#8221;
In the video, we see the girls swarm the King as they cheer that he was open to the embrace. It is hard to determine after the hug who seemed more pleased &#8212; the members of the team or the royal head who had a huge grin on his face afterward.
Each girl then got a hug from the King who weren&#8217;t in the group embrace.

It also has more than 940,000 likes and nearly 7,000 comments, with many praising the royal’s friendly gesture.
&#8220;That&#8217;s the biggest smile I&#8217;ve ever seen on him,&#8221; one person wrote.
Another wrote, &#8220;He probably doesn&#8217;t get hugged or even touched often. Such a simple human gesture to a man that has everything and look at the smile on his face. Priceless.”

The monarch, who is also King of New Zealand, has yet to visit the country since he ascended the throne following Queen Elizabeth II’s death in 2022.
During Wednesday’s reception, the king told the team, “I&#8217;m extremely sorry I can&#8217;t come to New Zealand in later October—it&#8217;s on doctors&#8217; orders.”
&#8220;But I hope there will be another excuse [to visit the country] before too long,” he added. “In the meantime, give my love to New Zealand!&#8221;

<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/prince-harry">Prince Harry</a> made it clear that he won’t be taking his wife <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/meghan-markle">Meghan Markle</a> back to the United Kingdom anytime soon because he said it’s “still dangerous.”
During his appearance on <a href="https://people.com/prince-harry-appear-new-documentary-phone-hacking-hugh-grant-8675884">ITV’s documentary</a> “Tabloids on Trial,” the Duke of Sussex said that he’s worried about bringing the Duchess of Sussex or any member of his family to the country without adequate security, <a href="https://people.com/prince-harry-wont-bring-meghan-markle-back-uk-dangerous-8684163?utm_campaign=people&amp;utm_content=likeshop&amp;utm_medium=social&amp;utm_source=instagram">People magazine</a> noted.
&#8220;It&#8217;s still dangerous, and all it takes is one lone actor, one person who reads this stuff to act on what they have read,&#8221; Harry said.
&#8220;And whether it&#8217;s a knife or acid, whatever it is, and these are things that are of genuine concern for me,” he added. “It&#8217;s one of the reasons why I won’t bring my wife back to this country.&#8221;
Following Prince Harry and Markle’s decision in 2020 to step down from their senior royal roles, RAVEC (a committee made up of the Home Office, Metropolitan Police, and the Royal Household) announced that it had removed the royal family member’s automatic right to taxpayer-funded U.K. police protection.

&#8216;He doesn&#8217;t even have to stop for red lights!&#8217;
Former Royal Correspondent for The Sun, Charles Rae, says that Prince Harry is being &#8216;disingenuous&#8217; in his concerns for his safety in the UK, given the security measures he has.

In February, the London High Court ruled in favor of the government and found that there had been no “procedural unfairness” in how the Duke of Sussex was being treated — despite his attorney’s argument that Prince Harry still faced security threats, the <a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-68421992">BBC</a> reported.
Prince Harry had argued that there was unlawfulness in how he was being treated when his security protection was being made on a case-by-case basis rather than automatically being given at the same level he previously had.
<a href="https://onelink.to/dwapp" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" aria-describedby="sk-tooltip-9096" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://onelink.to/dwapp&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1712932862202000&amp;usg=AOvVaw0plT8RRdMy9XUpIhocnjQS">CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP</a>
Though parts of the decision were redacted, the court agreed with RAVEC’s decision, calling it “legally sound” to treat the royal’s protection the same as any other high-profile visitor to the U.K., the outlet noted.
Prince Harry has said he plans to appeal the decision after claiming that he needed the security protection for his kids, Princess Lilibet and Prince Archie, when they are in his native home.
&#8220;The U.K. is my home,” the royal previously said. “The U.K. is central to the heritage of my children and a place I want them to feel at home as much as where they live at the moment in the United States.”
&#8220;That cannot happen if there is no possibility to keep them safe when they are on U.K. soil,” he added. &#8220;I can&#8217;t put my wife in danger like that, and given my experiences in life, I&#8217;m reluctant to unnecessarily put myself in harm&#8217;s way too.”
The Duke of Sussex also offered to cover the costs, but earlier this year, the High Court denied his offer and <a href="https://people.com/prince-harry-loses-fight-police-protection-uk-8601439">upheld the decision to downgrade his security</a>, as previously <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/prince-harry-and-meghan-markle-learn-court-decision-about-police-protection">reported</a>.
The Home Office argued that it would be improper for the police to be hired as private security guards, The <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2023/05/23/world/europe/prince-harry-security-uk.html">New York Times</a> noted.

<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/prince-charles">King Charles III</a> and Queen Camilla were rushed out of a royal visit in the Channel Islands on Monday over a security scare.
During the royal couple’s first trip on Monday to the country since he took the throne in 2022 &#8212; they were visiting the Jersey expo event &#8212; they were each pulled away by their security team and ushered into the Pomme d’Or hotel, the <a href="https://nypost.com/2024/07/16/entertainment/king-charles-and-queen-camilla-rushed-to-safety-during-security-scare/">New York Post</a> reported.
In one <a href="https://x.com/7NewsSydney/status/1813135785140625538" target="_blank" rel="noopener">clip</a>, the queen is seen enjoying some ice cream when a member of her security gently removes her from the area.
Meanwhile, the king was speaking to a local business owner before his security personnel approached the monarch and he was told “he had to leave immediately” over a “small issue of concern,” <a href="https://www.telegraph.co.uk/royal-family/2024/07/15/king-charles-receives-jersey-heifers-gift-channel-islands/">the Telegraph</a> reported.
“He stopped at the stall and said ‘Ooh sea salt’ and I said ‘Come and have a chat, Sir.’ Then his security appeared and grabbed me and said ‘He has to go, now,'&#8221; the business owner told the outlet.

“His security appeared and grabbed me and said ‘he has to go now,’” the business man added. “He didn’t seem panicked but he was quite stern. They just ushered him out.”
Later in the day, their royal visit resumed after what was described as a “brief pause.”
The security scare reportedly ended up being a false alarm, but security tensions will reportedly remain high following the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump on Saturday during his rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, leaving one of his supporters dead along with injuring two others.

​​Former BBC Royal Correspondent Michael Cole <a href="https://www.gbnews.com/royal/king-charles-queen-camilla-security-jersey-concern">told GB News</a> there was a “heightened sense of security concern” for the king and queen after the assassination attempt on the former president.
“I’m sure there’s a sort of heightened sense of security concern because of events in America, which we know about from Saturday night,” Cole said.
“But what stands out for me is the coolness of the Queen,” he added. “She was eating an ice cream at the time, one of her aides whispered in her ear that there was a security concern, and she was taken away with the King to a nearby hotel.”
On Sunday, Trump published a <a href="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/112784638860095397">post</a> to Truth Social that said: “Our love goes out to the other victims and their families. We pray for the recovery of those who were wounded, and hold in our hearts the memory of the citizen who was so horribly killed.”
In the same message, the former president emphasized that “it is more important than ever that we stand United, and show our True Character as Americans, remaining Strong and Determined, and not allowing Evil to Win.”

King Charles III Rushed Out Of Royal Visit Over Security Scare

Security

Buckingham Palace announced a major update in the health status of <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/prince-charles">King Charles III</a> following his cancer diagnosis in February, sharing that doctors are “sufficiently pleased with the progress.”
The royal household announced that the monarch “is now able to resume a number of public-facing duties,” including hosting a state visit for the Emperor and Empress of Japan in late June, <a href="https://people.com/king-charles-announces-return-royal-duties-amid-cancer-treatment-palace-health-update-8639110?hid=4f90b78dc31e627328d98338e1fa49d03b364abc&amp;did=12804346-20240426&amp;utm_campaign=ppl-breakingnews_relationship-builder&amp;utm_source=ppl&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_content=042624&amp;lctg=4f90b78dc31e627328d98338e1fa49d03b364abc&amp;lr_input=a08f4ce0dc67f7e22d138c82b9ce538ad294bfaca0b145e2f563962e58e05ef7">People magazine</a> reported. The palace said the King would continue his cancer treatment.
&#8220;Any public-facing engagements will be announced nearer the time in the usual way and will remain subject to doctors’ advice,&#8221; the palace spokesperson said.
&#8220;His Majesty is greatly encouraged to be resuming some public-facing duties and very grateful to his medical team for their continued care and expertise,&#8221; the spokesperson added.

The update comes after the palace said the King would be postponing his public duties, but working behind the scenes after his cancer diagnosis.
The latest message about King Charles&#8217; health followed a report in the <a href="https://www.thedailybeast.com/king-charles-funeral-plans-dusted-off-as-his-health-remains-a-mystery">Daily Beast</a> that claimed the King’s health battle wasn&#8217;t going well.
“Speaking to friends of the king in recent weeks about his health, the most common response is … ‘It’s not good,'&#8221; the outlet reported.
<a href="https://onelink.to/dwapp" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" aria-describedby="sk-tooltip-9096" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://onelink.to/dwapp&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1700760801843000&amp;usg=AOvVaw2PQrVSrJfhxNb4LcARqniG">CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP</a>
A friend of the monarch claimed Charles “is determined to beat it and they are throwing everything at it. Everyone is staying optimistic, but he is really very unwell. More than they are letting on.”
The monarch’s funeral plans — codenamed “Operation Menai Bridge” — are being “dusted off” and updated regularly, the outlet noted.
However, one military source said, “Planning for the worst is what the military do.”
Buckingham Palace previously announced the King’s cancer was discovered during his “hospital procedure for benign prostate enlargement.”
“Subsequent diagnostic tests have identified a form of cancer,” the <a href="https://www.royal.uk/a-statement-from-buckingham-palace-5Feb24">statement</a> read, without providing further information. “His Majesty has today commenced a schedule of regular treatments, during which time he has been advised by doctors to postpone public-facing duties.”
“Throughout this period, His Majesty will continue to undertake State business and official paperwork as usual,” the statement added. “The King is grateful to his medical team for their swift intervention, which was made possible thanks to his recent hospital procedure. He remains wholly positive about his treatment and looks forward to returning to full public duty as soon as possible.”
“His Majesty has chosen to share his diagnosis to prevent speculation and in the hope it may assist public understanding for all those around the world who are affected by cancer,” the statement concluded.
The King ascended to the throne in September 2022 following the death of his mother, the late Queen Elizabeth II, who was 96 years old.

Palace Gives Health Update On Kate Middleton After Prince William Skips Event For Personal Reasons

Prince William

Prince William cracked a few jokes during his first public speech following his father King Charles’ cancer diagnosis and his wife’s abdominal surgery.
The 41-year-old <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/royal-family">royal family</a> member, who is first in line to the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/u-k">British</a> throne, made the remarks during a pre-dinner speech at a fundraiser for London’s Air Ambulance Charity’s new fleet of helicopters. The &#8220;Up Against Time&#8221; fundraising appeal was attended by “Top Gun: Maverick” star <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/tom-cruise">Tom Cruise</a>.
The Duke of Wales had previously taken time off following his wife’s surgery. King Charles also had surgery last month for an enlarged prostate, which was when his doctors diagnosed him with cancer.
“I’d like to take this opportunity to say thank you, also, for the kind messages of support for Catherine and for my father, especially in recent days. It means a great deal to us all,” Prince William <a href="https://people.com/prince-william-tom-cruise-talk-top-gun-shoes-london-air-ambulance-charity-gala-8572206">said</a>.
He followed with a joke, saying, “It’s fair to say the past few weeks have had a rather medical focus, so I thought I’d come to an air ambulance function to get away from it all.”
The royal went on to discuss the goals of the organization and followed up with a shout-out to Cruise. &#8220;Here in London, the current aircraft have served magnificently,&#8221; he said. &#8220;But our capital city needs a new fleet.

&#8220;I should also take this opportunity to give a mention to my — our — fellow pilot, Tom Cruise,&#8221; Prince William added. &#8220;Tom, huge thanks for supporting us tonight. And Tom, if you wouldn&#8217;t mind not borrowing either of the new helicopters for the next ‘Mission Impossible,’ it would be appreciated. We have all seen on our screens that — how can I put it — you seem to have a different take on &#8216;normal wear and tear&#8217; to the rest of us. It&#8217;s not the kind that buffs out.&#8221;
William’s younger brother, Prince Harry, was recently in London visiting King Charles after news of his diagnosis broke. According to reports, the siblings did not visit with each other at that time.

A new royal biography about <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/prince-charles" target="_blank" rel="noopener">King CharlesIII</a> revealed the &#8220;last pieces of unfinished business&#8221; left by the late-Queen Elizabeth II before her death in September 2022.
In Robert Hardman&#8217;s book, &#8220;<a href="https://www.amazon.com/Charles-III-Court-Inside-Story-ebook/dp/B0C242HQT2" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Charles III: New King, New Court. The Inside Story</a>,&#8221; the royal biographer shared how the queen&#8217;s staff discovered two private letters in one of the royal&#8217;s famous locked red boxes, the <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12956529/Inside-story-late-Queens-final-farewell-Majesty-wouldnt-aware-painlessly-slipped-away-contents-never-seen-memo-moments-revealed.html">Daily Mail</a> reported.
These red boxes typically contained daily papers from ministers around the U.K. plus documents and correspondence from representatives from the Commonwealth and around the world, <a href="https://people.com/queen-elizabeth-left-behind-two-letters-deathbed-8426140?hid=4f90b78dc31e627328d98338e1fa49d03b364abc&amp;did=11617308-20240115&amp;utm_source=ppl&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_campaign=royals_newsletter&amp;utm_content=011524&amp;lctg=4f90b78dc31e627328d98338e1fa49d03b364abc">People magazine</a> noted.
One letter was for her son King Charles III, and the other letter was directed to her top aide private secretary Sir Edward Young, the author noted.

Tomorrow’s <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/DailyMail?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#DailyMail</a> sees the start of an exclusive four-day serialisation of a brilliant new biography by <a href="https://twitter.com/hardmanr?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@hardmanr</a> ‘King Charles III’.

&#8220;It was the last one that had gone up to the Queen before her death,&#8221; Hardman writes in the excerpt about the red box findings. &#8220;Like all red boxes, it had just two keys, one for the monarch and the other for her duty private secretary.&#8221;
&#8220;We will probably never know what they said,&#8221; he added. &#8220;However, it is clear enough that the Queen had known that the end was imminent and had planned accordingly. Were they final instructions or final farewells? Or both? Elizabeth II had been completing her own last pieces of unfinished business.&#8221;
The biographer said the late royal also left her list of candidates to join the Order of Merit — her final royal duty, the outlet noted.

&#8220;The Queen had always taken it extremely seriously,&#8221; Hardman wrote. &#8220;The paperwork had gone up to her two days before so that she could go through the notes and tick her choices.&#8221;
&#8220;Here it was, completed and returned for Sir Edward to make the necessary arrangements,&#8221; he added. &#8220;It was the last document ever handled by Queen Elizabeth II. Even on her deathbed, there had been work to do. And she had done it.&#8221;
Also revealed in the upcoming biography is a memo from the queen&#8217;s private secretary, who was at Balmoral when she died in 2022, the Daily Mail noted.
&#8220;Very peaceful. In her sleep,&#8221; the private memo from Young read. &#8220;Slipped away. Old age. She wouldn&#8217;t have been aware of anything. No pain.&#8221;

<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/kate-middleton-cracks-joke-when-asked-if-she-would-be-performing-solo-at-christmas-concert" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kate Middleton</a> definitely got everyone’s attention when she stepped out on Tuesday night wearing a diamond tiara that hasn’t been seen in nearly 100 years.
The Princess of Wales stunned in the Strathmore Rose tiara during the state banquet held at Buckingham Palace — in honor of the President of the Republic of Korea Yoon Suk Yeol and his wife First Lady Kim Keon Hee&#8217;s state visit to the United Kingdom, <a href="https://people.com/kate-middleton-wears-rare-tiara-strathmore-rose-buckingham-palace-banquet-korea-state-visit-8404676" target="_blank" rel="noopener">People magazine</a> reported.
The floral design tiara was last worn in public in the 1930’s and was part of the King Charles III&#8217;s grandmother Queen Mother&#8217;s collection, the outlet noted. Queen Mother, who died in 2002, and Middleton are the only people who have ever worn the crown in public.
&#8220;Kate [Middleton] has always signaled that she&#8217;d like to emulate the Queen Mother&#8217;s royal role, and wearing her jewels is an important symbol of that continuity,&#8221; Lauren Kiehna, founder of The Court Jeweller, told the outlet.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">

&#8220;It&#8217;s fitting that Kate—likely with some assistance from King Charles—would choose to wear the tiara exactly a hundred years after the Queen Mother originally received it,&#8221; she added. &#8220;The piece is an antique that wasn&#8217;t fashionable for many decades, but many jewels once considered fussy or unstylish have now been embraced again.&#8221;
&#8220;The tiara comes with two frames, allowing it to be worn either across the forehead or on top of the head,&#8221; Kiehna continued. &#8220;The Queen Mother used it both ways, and Kate chose the more traditional setting for the banquet.&#8221;
The rose tiara was given to Queen Mother by her father, Lord Strathmore, before she married the Duke of York in 1923 and is designed to look like a crown made of wild roses, <a href="https://www.vogue.com/article/princess-of-wales-royal-strathmore-tiara" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Vogue</a> noted.
The evening&#8217;s festivities were attended by a host of royals including the King, Queen Camilla, Prince William, and other members of the royal family.
Middleton has worn several other crowns since her wedding day to Prince William in April 2011, which include the Lotus Flower tiara and Cartier Halo tiara.  However, the most often worn jeweled headpiece worn by the Princess would have to be the Queen Mary&#8217;s Lover&#8217;s Knot tiara which was a favorite of her late-mother-in law&#8217;s Princess Diana. Kate has worn it a a total of 11 times, People noted.

Kate Middleton Steps Out In Tiara Not Seen For Nearly 100 Years

<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/king-charles-iii-celebrates-late-mom-queen-elizabeth-ii-on-anniversary-of-her-death" target="_blank" rel="noopener">King Charles</a> III has reportedly invited his younger son, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/prince-harry-says-family-wasnt-there-for-him-when-mom-princess-diana-died" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Prince Harry</a>, to his upcoming 75th birthday celebration — but the royal ex-pat won&#8217;t make the trip to the United Kingdom as their relationship reportedly remains strained, sources claim.
Insiders with knowledge of the situation told the <a href="https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/king-charles-relishes-global-role-but-still-wont-see-harry-79pm8zxvh" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Sunday Times</a> that the Duke of Sussex will skip the king&#8217;s party at Clarence House in London on November 14 after he also reportedly declined Charles&#8217; offer in September to join him on the anniversary of Queen Elizabeth&#8217;s death.
Prince Harry has since disputed the claim he was invited to his father&#8217;s birthday and called out the Sunday Times for misreporting the story, a spokesperson for the royal told <a href="https://themessenger.com/entertainment/prince-harry-king-charles-75th-birthday" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Messenger.</a>
The alleged royal snub comes after a report that Harry and his father still &#8220;don&#8217;t speak much,&#8221; the <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12713685/prince-harry-king-charles-birthday-royal-family.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Daily Mail</a> noted. The strain in the relationship reportedly comes from the Prince&#8217;s tell-all memoir &#8220;<a href="https://www.amazon.com/Spare-Prince-Harry-Duke-Sussex/dp/0593593804" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Spare</a>&#8221; and Charles&#8217; &#8220;disappointment&#8221; at Harry&#8217;s description of the Queen Camilla in the book as a &#8220;villain&#8221; and &#8220;dangerous.&#8221;
&#8220;I have complex feelings about gaining a step-parent who I thought had recently sacrificed me on her personal PR altar,&#8221; the royal wrote in the book.
The royal&#8217;s relationship with the entire family is reportedly struggling following the revelations in the documentary &#8220;Harry and Meghan&#8221; and his book in which he takes aim at his brother William, sister-in-law Kate Middleton and father.
&#8220;Communications between the King and Prince Harry remain pretty poor,&#8221; a source told <a href="https://www.telegraph.co.uk/us/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Telegraph</a>. &#8220;They don&#8217;t speak much, if at all.&#8221;
Author Omid Scobee, who wrote &#8220;Finding Freedom&#8221; — a positive book about the royal couple stepping down from their senior roles — attacked the royal family in the promotional material for his new book &#8220;<a href="https://www.amazon.com/Endgame-Inside-Family-Monarchys-Survival-ebook/dp/B0BPSX2X4Q" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Endgame: Inside The Royal Family and the Monarchy&#8217;s Fight For Survival</a>&#8221; due out Nov. 28.
The book is <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Endgame-Inside-Family-Monarchys-Survival-ebook/dp/B0BPSX2X4Q" target="_blank" rel="noopener">described</a> as &#8220;a penetrating investigation into the current state of the British monarchy – an unpopular king, a power-hungry heir to the throne, a queen willing to go to dangerous lengths to preserve her image and a prince forced to start a new life after being betrayed by his own family.&#8221;
One source told the Daily Mail, &#8220;I&#8217;ve been told this is bad, very bad. It is unlikely that Royal aides will comment, but if there are charges of racism, they will, of course, be robustly rebutted.&#8221;
Relations between the Sussexes and the royal family have not been the best following the Duke and Duchess of Sussex&#8217;s initial decision to step down from their senior roles in January 2020. They eventually relocated to southern California, where they are raising their two kids, son Prince Archie and daughter Princess Lilibet.
Update: The original story has been updated to reflect a statement from Prince Harry&#8217;s spokesperson denying the Sunday Times report.

King Charles Invites Harry To Birthday Celebration, Prince Won’t Be There: Report

<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/prince-charles">King Charles</a> is busy preparing for his coronation in a few weeks, which will include a cross containing shards of wood from the cross that&#8217;s believed to have been used to crucify <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/jesus-christ">Jesus Christ</a>.
Two shards from the “True Cross” were gifted to King Charles by Pope Francis in celebration of his <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/royal-family">coronation</a> on May 6. Those pieces were then incorporated into the Cross of Wales, a silver cross that will be carried into <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/u-k">Westminster Abbey</a> next month as part of the procession, per <a href="https://www.reuters.com/world/uk/pope-presents-shards-cross-christ-king-charles-coronation-2023-04-19/">Reuters</a>.
The Church of Wales said the processional cross &#8220;will incorporate a relic of the True Cross&#8221; and called it a &#8220;significant ecumenical gesture.&#8221;
The Cross of Wales is made from recycled silver bullion, Welsh slate, and timber. It was presented by the monarch to the Church in Wales, which is part of the Anglican church. A quote from the last sermon of Saint David is featured on the back in Welsh. It says, &#8220;Byddwch lawen. Cadwch y ffydd. Gwnewch y Pethau Bychain.&#8221; This translates to, &#8220;Be joyful. Keep the faith. Do the little things.&#8221;
The cross was blessed by the Archbishop of Wales on Wednesday.
&#8220;Its design speaks to our Christian faith, our heritage, our resources and our commitment to sustainability,&#8221; Archbishop of Wales Andrew John said during the ceremony. &#8220;We are delighted too that its first use will be to guide their majesties into Westminster Abbey at the Coronation Service.&#8221;
Mark O’Toole, Archbishop of Cardiff and Bishop of Menevia, said, &#8220;With a sense of deep joy we embrace this Cross, kindly given by King Charles, and containing a relic of the True Cross, generously gifted by the Holy See.”

&#8220;It is not only a sign of the deep Christian roots of our nation but will, I am sure, encourage us all to model our lives on the love given by our Savior, Jesus Christ,” he continued. “We look forward to honoring it, not only in the various celebrations that are planned, but also in the dignified setting in which it will find a permanent home.&#8221;
Micahel Llloyd designed the cross, which he said &#8220;started with a love of the material, its malleability, its potential for expression.&#8221;
The outlet noted that the cross would be shared between the Anglican and Roman Catholic churches in Wales after the coronation ceremonies.

Relations between the royal couple and the family have not been the best following Harry and Markle&#8217;s initial decision to step down from their senior roles in January of 2020. In January 2023, the prince released his tell-all memoir that took aim at Harry&#8217;s brother and sister-in-law the Prince and Princess of Wales along with his father King Charles, as previously <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/silence-is-betrayal-prince-harry-sits-down-with-60-minutes-ahead-of-memoir-release">reported</a>.
In the memoir, the royal <a href="https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/ellievhall/prince-harry-spare-royal-reporters-commentators-editors">blames the media</a> for destroying his relationship with his family, writing, &#8220;How lost we are, I thought. How far we&#8217;ve strayed. How much damage has been done to our love, our bond, and why? All because a dreadful mob of dweebs and crones and cut-rate criminals and clinically diagnosable sadists along Fleet Street feel the need to get their jollies and plump their profits — and work out their personal issues — by tormenting one very large, very ancient, very dysfunctional family.'&#8221;
