Queen's surviving bridesmaid snubbed and not invited to King Charles's coronation
The Queen’s bridesmaid Lady Pamela Hicks has not been invited to King Charles's coronation, her daughter India Hicks has said.
"One of the King’s personal secretaries was passing on a message from the King," she wrote. "They explained that this coronation was to be very different to the Queen’s. 8,000 guests would be whittled down to 1,000 alleviating the burden on the state.""The King was sending his great love and apologies, he was offending many family and friends with the reduced list," India said. "My mother was not offended at all. 'How very, very sensible' she said.
The late Queen Elizabeth II had eight bridesmaids in total: HRH The Princess Margaret, HRH Princess Alexandra of Kent, Lady Caroline Montagu-Douglas-Scott, Lady Mary Cambridge, The Hon. Pamela Mountbatten, The Hon. Margaret Elpinstone, and Diana Bowes-Lyon. "I will definitely be watching it on television and will be championing it from there. I'll be watching with the Corgis [Muick and Sandy] who will be up there barking away."
