The first pictures after King Charles’ coronation have now been published.
On one of them, the King and Queen Camilla are wearing their new crowns with their family around them.
Meanwhile, both Prince Harry and Prince Andrew are missing.
– I can understand the king’s wish that only working royals should be in the official photos. It is a smart way to avoid reporting and comments about certain family members. Harry has chosen to leave the royal house, the king’s brother Prince Andrew has punished himself because of the rape allegations. But it is clear that it cuts a little in the heart to see a father without one of his sons by his side on such a big and important day, says Aftonbladet’s court expert Jenny Alexandersson.

Shouldn’t journalists be able to tell the difference between them and them?
Ante
Hi Ante! You may think so, of course, but we are not flawless and can make mistakes. We correct them when they are brought to our attention by our colleagues or our keen readers!
Why is the headline “Russia: Residents forcibly evacuated from Zaporizhzhya” !? Zaporizhzhya and Europe’s largest nuclear power plant is in Ukraine NOT Russia. Despite occupation and annexation, as far as I know, almost no one except Russia itself recognizes the region as Russian.
STEFAN SENNERGREN
Hi Stefan! In this case, “Russia” should be read as the Russian side in the war, who are the ones who decided on the forced evacuation. It does not imply recognition of the areas as Russian.
Leif: The answer to your question is that the program is not broadcast live, and that an editor inserted the images when the program was cut together.
It is not more difficult than that.
Crisis meeting
At the same time a name is guessed, a picture of the person concerned is shown.
Leif
Unfortunately, I have no explanation for that, Leif.
Maybe you can ask TV4, here is a link to them.
