Many controversies went around after the event. Some even say in videos and pictures you can see this figure resembling the grim reaper in the background. Many also said that it seemed tense between many of the family members throughout the event. The most tense was said to be the new King and Queen as seen in videos after the coronation in the carriage that took them away. 

Lauren Cox said, “I think everyone was really excited about the coronation because of the recent passing of the late queen. I didn’t watch a whole lot of it because it did tend to be a little boring for me. I did hear about the grim reaper conspiracy and I thought it was really funny what people were concluding.”
