For the first time since 1953, the United Kingdom will witness a monarch’s coronation this weekend. The coronation of King Charles and Queen Camilla will take place at Westminster Abbey on Saturday, May 6. Naturally, the weekend’s itinerary is jam-packed.

“I’m going to kill the king,” the guy, who was also carrying a knife, yelled.

“He was in his thirties at the time.” One witness told The Sun, “He’s been here the last few nights shouting, ‘I’m going to kill the King!'” “The police jumped on him as soon as he placed the bag on the ground.” “They were yelling at him, ‘Get down on the floor.'”

Neither monarch Charles nor Queen Camilla were present at Buckingham Palace when the incident occurred, but such an occurrence may make the monarch and queen concerned about the coronation. Charles and Camilla’s official Instagram account issued a statement the day after the man was arrested.
