King Charles’ Coronation Chaos: Video Captures Moment Horse Slams Into Crowd Barriers

Amid the pomp of Saturday’s coronation of King Charles III of Britain, a horse threatened to disrupt the procession in 📍London.

As the Gold State Coach, which was carrying newly crowned King Charles and Queen Camilla, turned from Whitehall into The Mall, in the central part of the city, something appeared to spook one of the coach’s mounted escorts, according to the Metro.

The horse was in the ranks of the procession following the king and was scolded by one Twitter user, who wrote, “Can’t park that there mate.”

The horse began walking backward and then struck barriers that kept the crowds from the procession, per a video published by the Metro.

Service members came to help anyone who might have been hurt, bringing a stretcher, but it was not used.

After the incident, a police officer appeared to limp away from the area, with some assistance from fellow officers.
