Charles, who has devoted his life to environmental protection and sustainability, apparently wants to shape his last will in accordance with this legacy. According to Yahoo, the entire ceremony is to be "as environmentally friendly as possible". A bio-coffin? Electric carriages? The specific details remain a secret for now, but one thing is clear: the king wants to leave a lasting impression - not just emotionally, but also ecologically.
However, the publication of these sensitive plans has caused chaos in Buckingham Palace. Spokesperson Tobyn Andreae reportedly went into a panic, according to Cosmopolitan. Reports suggest he tried for 24 hours to stop the publication in the Telegraph - to no avail. Andreae was supposedly on the verge of a nervous breakdown when he realized that the secret documents were already publicly accessible. The reason for this commotion is clear: these funeral plans are far more than just organizational details. They touch on political tensions, personal conflicts, and could further strain the fragile balance of the royal family.
Whether King Charles will actually succeed in overcoming the deep divisions within the family with this final event remains questionable. The envisaged roles of Harry, Meghan, and their children could be understood as a symbolic gesture of unity - or they could reopen old wounds. What is certain is that "Operation London Bridge" is not just a protocol for a royal farewell, but also a statement about family, tradition, and progress. Whether this plan will ultimately go down in history as a reconciliation spectacle or as a further source of tensions remains to be seen.
