English actor and model Elizabeth Hurley has expressed regret for not being able to attend the coronation ceremony of King Charles, while also praising the event for all its glory. Speaking to People Magazine, Hurley said that she felt “a bit left out” for not being able to attend one of the most historic events.
“I was in America, so I didn’t watch it live,” Hurley revealed. “I had to watch it delayed and the bits I watched were absolutely gorgeous, just elegant, beautiful, and majestic — and I’m so glad I wasn’t in charge, can you imagine? Can you imagine how to organize that?”
On May 6th, 2023, while Charles and his wife Queen Camilla were being crowned at Westminster Abbey, Hurley was raising $10.3 million for breast cancer, according to the publication.
Expressing her regret for missing the ceremony, she added, “My friends had their own tea parties and their own watching parties.”
“I felt a bit left out, as opposed to watching it later on YouTube! But it looked magnificent,” she said.
Hurley has been an active advocate for breast cancer awareness, having lost her grandmother to the disease. She has previously worked with the Estée Lauder Companies to promote breast cancer research and awareness, and has raised funds for various breast cancer charities.
The coronation of King Charles was a historic event for the United Kingdom, marking the formal ascension of the Prince of Wales to the throne as the country’s monarch. The ceremony was attended by numerous dignitaries and heads of state and was watched by millions of people around the world.
