While people around the world continue to celebrate long after the coronation of His Majesty King Charles III and Queen Camilla concluded in London, British police are still hard at work trying to locate the monarch’s grandson, young Prince George, who fled Buckingham Palace in a distraught state after the event.
Billions of viewers watching the coronation as it screened live around the world saw a ceremony that proceeded like clockwork.
But I can report exclusively on several incidents before and after the event which caused concern for organisers as well as for the King and Queen and other members of the royal family.
Just prior to the King departing Buckingham Palace his second son His Non-Royal Highness Prince Harry the Duke of Sussex who had flown in from America threw coronation organisers into a panic when he arrived dressed in what he insisted would be the outfit he planned to wear to Westminster Abbey.

After a hasty and, I am informed, a somewhat heated exchange with his father King Charles, the Duke agreed to change into a traditional morning suit.
But the most serious and as-yet unresolved incident is undoubtedly the disappearance of Prince George after he had returned to Buckingham Palace after serving as a page to the King at the coronation.
My palace sources tell me that George was last seen running from a palace reception room yelling: “It’s all bullshit and I’m not doing it.”
Running down the grand staircase in the middle of the palace and out into its vast back garden he was heard to scream in an apparent reference to the coronation: “It was a lot of hocus pocus, mumbo jumbo. I want to be a fireman.”
The young price and second in line to the throne was running at such a pace that the royal bodyguards on duty could not catch up with him.
He was last seen on security camera footage (main picture) bolting down Buckingham Palace Road after running through gates of the Royal Mews which were still open to receive horses and vehicles returning from coronation duties.
I am informed that George’s father, William the Prince of Wales, in the words of my source, also “tried to bolt”.
As my source said: “The Prince of Wales initially ran after Prince George yelling: ‘I’m with you Georgie. Spurs? Gold dressing gowns? Old blokes rubbing me with oil? No fucking way. Let’s scram before it’s too late.’
“However, the Princess of Wales could see what was playing out and stuck her foot out and tripped up her husband as he ran past her while trying to shed his heavy ceremonial cape and medallions.
“She gave him a good talking-to and he settled down, although he wasn’t happy.”
As I write this Scotland Yard, regional police services, and Interpol have all been alerted and have despatched officers specialising in missing persons cases across the UK in an effort to find and return Prince George.
