Prince William paid a loving tribute to his father, King Charles, during Sunday evening's coronation concert. The Prince of Wales paid a touching public tribute, saying: “Pa, we are all so proud of you.”He told his newly crowned father Charles: “She would be a very proud mother.”
William, a future king himself, also made his own historic pledge as he thanked the millions who serve in the military, schools, NHS and local communities, saying: “I commit myself to serve you all. King, country and Commonwealth.”By publicly calling Charles “Pa” and expressing the royal family’s pride in him, he echoed the speeches his father gave at the late Queen’s successive Jubilee concerts, when he referred to her as “Mummy”.
Speaking of the late Queen, he said: “As my grandmother said when she was crowned, coronations are a declaration of our hopes for the future.“For all that celebrations are magnificent, at the heart of the pageantry is a simple message. Service.” And heralded his establishment of the Prince’s Trust, adding: “It has supported over a million young people, many from disadvantaged backgrounds, to realise their ambitions.”
