Musician Deronne White is ready to play on King Charles III's coronation day. The flautist and his fellow young musicians aren't playing anything regal or solemn -- they're planning to parade through south London's streets entertaining crowds with an uplifting 'coronation carnival' set mixing gospel, jazz, grime, disco and rap. There'll even be a calypso take on the U.K. national anthem.

The Duchess of Sussex, a biracial American actress, reopened the debate about the monarchy and race when she said last year that an unnamed member of the royal household had asked her how dark her baby's skin might be when she was pregnant with her first child, Archie. "I think he's definitely trying -- maybe not in the best way or the fastest way, but from what I've seen, it's kind of a step in the right way," said Teigan Hastings, 17.
Across the capital in Southall, known as "Little India" -- the west London neighbourhood is home to one of the largest Indian populations outside India -- local politician Jasbir Kaur Anand said the area's British Asians also plan to mark the coronation in their own way.
