During King Charles III’s coronation, Sir Karl Jenkins’ music played, which he had written for the ceremony. However, the internet was quick on its wits and speculated that he was Meghan Markle in disguise. Now, Jenkins himself has cleared the air around his presence at the ceremony through his TikTok.
Sir Karl Jenkins started his video by introducing himself. He is a renowned music composer who has worked with the monarch, Dame Evelyn Glennie, and others. He said, “I understand there has been a lot of interest in me since I appeared at the coronation of King Charles III. I was there because I’d written some music for the service.”
Jenkins continued, “I was quite surprised that some people thought I was Meghan Markle in disguise. Someone wrote I was there, whoever I was, to steal the crown jewels. I look this way all the time.” His mustache became the talk of the town, which he addressed during the video. He said, “Oh, and my mustache has been referred to in The Times as well. But I’ve had this mustache since 18-years-old. It was very trendy then.”

The Composer Talked About The Piece He Composed For The Ceremony
Sir Karl Jenkins composed a piece titled ‘Crossing The Stone’ for the coronation ceremony of King Charles III. During an interview with the BBC, he talked about the composition. He said, “It’s a slow movement based on old Welsh folk tune. It’s haunting, it’s very Welsh and the story is redolent of a soldier returning home and crossing the stile.”
He continued, “It starts very quietly, with the strings playing the melody of the folk song, then the harpist is doing this technique called bisbigliando, which means whispering in Italian.”
Karl added, “There’s a very virtuoso harp part when the harp goes through the arpeggios, through the chords and it’s very emotional.” He also expressed that he was honored to have composed the piece for the occasion and said that King Charles III has always been a patron of Welsh music.
