This coming weekend, Britain will wear a holiday on the occasion of the coronation of
King Charles III
, the man who waited to become king for 74 years and went through the longest overlap in the world to fulfill the role to the best of his ability.
Although the future king signs many big and beautiful projects related to charity and global warming, long before anyone knew what it was about, it seems that his subjects have trouble liking him and forgiving past scandals in which he was involved.
Just before the signal to start the events is given, voila!
Celebs stepped onto a crown and scepter and returned to some of King Charles' biggest scandals.
Warm up the skunks, here we go.
Foreknown failure: Princess Diana

The biggest stain in Charles' life, and the one he will never be able to get rid of, is related to his late ex-wife
Princess Diana
.
The couple's marriage did not start with a particularly great love and the rift grew after Charles began to cheat on Diana with
Camilla Parker Bowles
with whom he lives to this day.
Opinions about who cheated on whom first differ, but it doesn't matter anymore.
While Charles treated his wife (and later also his children, as revealed by Prince Harry) coldly and formally, Lady Di became the queen of hearts, the one who captivated the public and rose to a status of sainthood that was strengthened after her tragic death in a car accident in Paris.

In 1993 a man from Cripps was listening to radio frequencies until he came across a call that caught his attention.
He realized that he had come across a pot of gold, recorded it and sold the product to the tabloid.
After some time, not only the content of the recording was published in a tabloid under the title "Charles and Camilla: the tape", and the whole world was exposed to a conversation of a sexual nature that took place between the two, who were married to other people at the time.
The content of the conversation included phrases such as "I'd like to live in your pants" and "I'd like to be your tampon", the remarks shamed the entire royal house and Diana received another boost to the status of the saint in this relationship, although she was not one, it's just that she knew maintain discretion.

In 2021,
Prince Harry
and
Meghan Markle
gave a sensational interview to Oprah Winfrey.
Among other things, they told of a royal who wondered what the skin color of their eldest son
Archie
would be , since Markle's ancestry is mixed.
Although the two did not name the wonderer explicitly, there were those who did the dirty work for them.
Christopher Anderson who wrote the book "Princes and Wives: Inside the Private Lives of William, Harry, Kate and Meghan" wrote that according to a reliable source, the question came from the mouth of King Charles, who asked Camilla for her opinion regarding the skin color of the newborn.

Last June, almost a year ago, the "Sunday Times" reported that Charles received three suitcases full of cash from the former prime minister of Qatar between 2011 and 2015.
The funds were allegedly transferred as donations, but were deposited in bank accounts linked to charity funds owned by the rebellious king.
Although it is a total amount of three million pounds that was transferred, as mentioned, in cash, no investigation was opened in the matter and there was no suspicion of a criminal act.
However, Charles Dover's questionable judgment is in question, both because of how the money was received and because of Qatar's questionable reputation, especially when it comes to human rights.
The pen that betrayed

Last September, just after
Queen Elizabeth
passed away, the King was recorded getting upset over a spilled pen while signing the visitor's book at Hillsborough Castle.
True, one can make an assumption for Charles and stick to the facts: this is a man who has just lost his mother, and instead of grieving quietly, he is dragged into the tangle of royal bureaucracies.
On the other hand, you are a grown man.
There are elegant ways to deal with an unruly pen and shout in front of the media "I hate this pen, I can't stand the damn thing!"
She is not one of them.
