Without stopping and at a good pace, the line of thousands of Britons who waited for hours to enter the Palace of Westminster and say goodbye to Queen Elizabeth II advanced, but some will wait up to 30 hours to be as close as possible to the coffin for a few moments, dressed in the royal standard and the imperial crown, which has about three thousand diamonds.From an early hour, the coffin, now drawn by horses, was moved from Buckingham Palace down the Mall to Westminster, amid the raucous crowds of thousands of citizens and tourists, who closely followed the procession of the royal family, led by the king. Carlos, his brothers, Ana, Eduardo and Andrés, and their children, Princes Guillermo and Enrique, who were accompanied by their wives.The heirs were escorted by a regiment of two officers and more than 30 soldiers, clad in their red uniforms, as a salvo of cannons and Big Ben resounded by the side of the road until the coffin was carried to Westminster Hall, the seat of Parliament. .Meanwhile, the crowd came to capture images of this historic ceremony for the last farewell of the person who died last week and whose coffin traveled from Balmoral Castle, in Scotland, to the capital of Great Britain, for the funeral.Already in the enclosure, the groups that have been lining up, some for days, passed through the Ferris wheel last night and hope to be among the up to 750,000 who will enter the Burning Chapel to witness the farewell to the only monarch who knew, because the coffin will remain almost 85 hours in the enclosure, which means that if the forecast of visitors from yesterday and until the early hours of September 19 is confirmed, some 150 people will enter the Palace per minute to take a tour around the coffin of His Majesty, which will be protected by a royal guard at all times, which will alternate and among which there have already been incidents, because last night the fainting of a uniformed man was caught when he lay standing a few meters from the coffin.The fact caused a brief interruption in the live signal worldwide, to help him and remove him from the area, without reporting the cause of his collapse or his condition after the strong impact against the stone floor.The incident did not affect the entry of citizens, who until the closing of this edition, continued to gradually enter the building, after passing strict security checks.The separation of states from the British crown is unlikely in the short term, although everything will depend on the guidelines followed by King Carlos III, asserted the internationalist Norma Soto.For the academic of La Salle, at the moment there are no signs that they intend to become republics or promote a referendum on the matter, despite the fact that long before the death of the monarch, Barbados did the same."It seems that they are going to stay that way," he told La Razón regarding the possibilities that any of the kingdoms or members of the Commonwealth try to become independent and stressed that this shows the bond they maintain with the monarchy, since to take a decision these territories must put in the balance the economic changes that this would entail, since breaking with the Crown means losing an effective trade to open up to new markets.But she did not rule out that they seek some change, according to the validity of current commercial agreements and stressed that it will be crucial this year, before he is officially crowned.Soto Castañeda added that during this process it must be very careful as a hegemonic country, since "it will lay the foundations for what will be its reign for the rest of the future", since any disposition or even outrage could fuel attempts to separate those who do not consider a good route to be a monarchy or not well seen by some as a king, remembering the controversies he has experienced in the personal sphere such as the divorce from Lady Di and his subsequent marriage to Camila, now queen consort.Likewise, he highlighted the rapid steps that he has taken when meeting with the four agglomerates of Great Britain, Scotland, Northern Ireland, Wales, England, and admitted that the relationship and plan that he maintains with the prime minister, Liz Truss, will also be of great relevance in economic terms, to maintain and strengthen trade and cooperation links with dependent nations and even international organizations, as a member of the G-7 and the Security Council of the United Nations Organization (UN).Copyright © La Razón All rights reserved Property of LRHG INFORMATIVO, SA DE CVAbout us Today information falls to you from everywhere and without asking for it...
