The photograph is revealed a few days after the coronation of King Carlos III, which is scheduled for May 6. The hymn for the ceremony was commissioned to award-winning English composer Andrew Lloyd Weber, who composed the themes for the musicals “The Phantom of the Opera” and “Cats”, among many others. It is also known that the star recipe will be the one already known as “coronation quiche”, chosen by the King and the queen consort —whose recipe you can find out in the Observer article.
