‘Grim reaper’ spotted at King Charles’ coronation
Who invited this creep?
Eagle-eyed Twitter users spotted what appears to be a cloaked figure scurrying in the background of King Charles III’s coronation, likening the unknown individual to the grim reaper.
A person wrapped in hooded, black robes carrying a long rod, akin to a scythe, was caught dashing in front of the golden arches within the cathedral Saturday.
“Anyone else just notice the Grim Reaper at Westminster Abbey?” a person wrote on Twitter, grabbing 2 million views.
“I noticed him! Who’s he looking for?” one person responded.
“Anyone else see the Grim Reaper make an appearance at the Coronation?” tweeted another, as users quipped it could be Prince Harry’s wife, Meghan Markle, in disguise. She was reported to be staying home in California.
The footage even reached TikTok, where one at-home viewer scored 8.8 million views on the “reaper’s” quick cameo.
“NAH IT CANT JUST BE ME THAT SAW IT,” the caption read, in part.
“Diana getting her revenge,” offered one viewer.
“Dianas invite defo arrived,” joked another.
“Lizzy came back with backup this time,” chimed in someone else.
“Lizzy wants her crown back,” agreed another.
The viral spectacle comes after two royal “superfans” — who claimed to have predicted the deaths of Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip — warned of ominous coronation vibes.
“We’ve had visions, like slideshows in our heads, that security needs to be high,” Lynne Antink, 78, told Jam Press.
The Berkshire, England native and her son, Colin, have gained fame for their morbid predictions.
“My first vision was the crown falling, and I don’t know what this means, but it’ll either fall from the cushion or from the king’s head,” she revealed.
Despite fears the ceremony would go awry, the closest thing to tragedy was pop star Katy Perry’s near face plant and the enthralled fans of heartthrob Johnny Thompson discovering the royal equerry is taken.
