After it was brought out that the disgraced celebrity had a domestic violence conviction, a grime song by Dizzee Rascal was removed from the official coronation party playlist.
After being found guilty in April of abusing his ex-fiancee, Cassandra Jones, the rapper of “Bonkers” lost his appeal last week.
Originally one of 28 songs on the Department for Digital, Culture, Media, and Sport’s public Coronation Celebration Playlist on Spotify, Dizzee Rascal’s single Dance Wiv Me, featuring DJ Calvin Harris and vocalist Chrom3, was also available on other streaming services.
Although it was taken out yesterday, neither the DCMS nor Buckingham Palace have made an explanation for its initial inclusion.
The Queen Consort has steadfastly fought against domestic abuse for years. She will also be crowned and anointed during the coronation on May 6.
The Beatles’ Come Together, Boney M’s Daddy Cool, Harry Styles’ Treat People With Kindness, Kate Bush’s Running Up That Hill, the Spice Girls’ Say You’ll Be There, and Years And Years’ suitably named King are among the other tunes on the playlist, which lasts for an hour and 56 minutes.
The collection is included as a link on the new coronation website coronation.gov.uk under Toolkit, a collection of resources created to aid the country in celebrating the King’s coronation.
The high-profile event, which is a part of a weekend of celebrations, is three months away on Monday.
After a trial, Dizzee Rascal, actual name Dylan Mills, was found guilty of assaulting Ms. Jones in June 2021 after breaking into her south London house and pushing her to the ground after a “chaotic” argument.
Last week, when the 38-year-appeal old’s was denied, Ms. Jones released a statement in which she claimed that the decision demonstrated that “money and prestige cannot be used to silence women” and that “support is out there.”
Camilla has been a vocal opponent of domestic abuse.
She held a significant event at Buckingham Palace in November and demanded a stop to the “heinous atrocities” done against women and girls.
When King Charles is crowned, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex will be invited, and palace staff are already planning for their presence.
According to royal officials who spoke to The Sun, it is a “working assumption” that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex will be invited to the state ceremony that will proclaim King Charles as monarch.
Since the Royal Family is still coming to terms with the ground-breaking revelations from their Netflix series and Harry’s book, there had been concerns that Harry and Meghan’s presence would try to overshadow and undermine the authenticity of the high-profile wedding.
However, the coronation’s planners are still proceeding with their plans based on the assumption that Harry and Meghan would both attend.
Later this month, formal invitations to King Charles’s coronation will be distributed to dignitaries and foreign leaders. The high-profile ceremony in May will only invite only 2,000 guests, compared to 8,000 for Queen Elizabeth II’s coronation in 1953.
However, it is a certain that Meghan and Harry will be present.
Two thrones will be manufactured, it was reported yesterday, for the crowning of the King and Queen Consort at Westminster Abbey.
The monarch will be seated on the famous Coronation Chair for the most holy aspect of the ceremony—the crowning and anointing.
However, each monarch also has a Throne Chair that is exclusive to them for the ancient ceremony of enthronement, which is performed at Westminster Abbey on a high dais.
Camilla will be crowned beside the king, unlike Prince Philip, albeit she is anticipated to be sitting at a lower level.
White Allom and Company, a London-based company that created the late Queen’s thrones, is no longer in business. According to sources, a group of skilled artisans educated by the Prince’s Foundation may now be assigned the royal duty.
There is usually a new throne for a new king, and this one won’t be any different, according to a palace source.
Additionally, the Tudor Crown is anticipated to be used in place of the St. Edward’s Crown that appeared on the late Queen’s emblem.
The Chair of Estate and the Throne Chair are two brand-new chairs that were created just for Queen Elizabeth II’s coronation.
Additionally, it is believed that the King would follow custom and sit on the Coronation Chair, which was ordered in 1296 by King Edward I.
He will be the 27th king to be crowned on the chair, which is said to be the country’s oldest piece of furniture still in use.
