You would possibly recall {that a} sure coronation of King Charles III happened over the weekend. Prince Harry attended the ceremony however shortly left, and Meghan Markle went for a hike in California. During the coronation broadcast, viewers on social media turned satisfied Markle was truly there in disguise after they lay eyes on a white-haired gentleman carrying sun shades and a particular mustache. Well, that was truly composer and former Soft Machine member Sir Karl Jenkins. Sorry to disappoint!
“I understand there has been a lot of interest in me since I appeared at the coronation of King Charles III,” Jenkins commented in a TikTok. “I was there because I’d written some music for the service, really. I was quite surprised that some people thought I was Meghan Markle in disguise. Someone wrote I was there, whoever I was, to steal the Crown Jewels.”
Jenkins continues with fun, “I look this way all the time!… I’ve had this mustache since I was 18 years old. It was very trendy then. So that’s me. Nothing sinister about it or surprising at all.”
Indeed, the BBC wrote this week that Jenkins had written a “haunting, very Welsh” piece for the ceremony, performed by the coronation orchestra and joined by royal harpist Alis Huws.
