Many wondered who it could be
Coronation viewers were left baffled when a mysterious ‘Grim Reaper’ figure walked past Westminster Abbey during the ceremony.
On Saturday, King Charles III was crowned at the abbey, with hundreds of millions watching the historic moment across the world.
But one clip from the ceremony has done the rounds on social media, leaving people very confused.
As military personnel made their way into Westminster Abbey for the ceremony, a hooded figure was seen walked quickly past a door opening, holding what looked like a scythe-shaped object.
Sharing the clip online, Twitter user @realjoegreeeen said: “Anyone else just notice the Grim Reaper at Westminster Abbey?”
The sound of choristers singing in the historic London landmark only made the whole scene even more mysterious and creepy.
Along with the macabre suggestion that it could be the Grim Reaper himself – perhaps on his way to collect a few souls – other viewers joke about who the figure could be.
One person wondered if it was Meghan Markle, whilst others suggested it could have been Princess Diana.
