Cross of Wales Returns for Royal Maundy Service

0:00On April 2nd, that Cross of Wales, which kicked off King Charles and Queen Camilla's coronation parade last year, just made a comeback at a Royal, event in North Wales. On April 2nd, it led the procession into St. Asaf Cathedral for the Royal Monty Service, where the King hands out special coins to pensioners as, a nod to Jesus washing the disciples' feet before Easter. This cross-packed serious history, Charles commissioned it back in 2020 as Prince of Wales to mark the Church in Wales' 100th anniversary. It's crafted from recycled silver, local timber, and slate, with a relic from the true cross, a splinter gifted by Pope Francis embedded inside. King Charles has de-brutes in Wales from his decades as Prince there, and now as head of the Church of England, he's all about bridging fates. He and the 77-year-old Queen Camilla, looking upbeat at 78, joined the service only the second time it's been held in Wales, but not everything was smooth graffiti reading. Not our King showed up on the Cathedral wall beforehand. Northwest police are looking into it, and the local council scrubbing it off.

1:06With Easter Sunday coming up on April 5th, expect Charles to lead the family at St. George's Chapel in Windsor, keeping these traditions rolling. Strong. Stay in the know with entertainment and celebrity news today, AI-powered updates.
