It is an apparition that has not gone unnoticed. King Charles III was officially crowned on Saturday, May 6, 2023, at Westminster Abbey. A ceremony broadcast on the screens, live. Some viewers did not fail to notice a strange figure passing in the background, reports HuffPost. She seemed to wear a hood and a scythe, like the grim reaper, the allegory of death.
A passage of only a handful of seconds, which made Internet users react on social networks: "Did someone else just notice the Grim Reaper at Westminster Abbey?" wrote one of them on Twitter by publishing the video of the scene. An excerpt viewed nearly two million times.
