The prince explained he had “just had a bit of cider” as he is focused on the coronation this weekend, according to People magazine. “I will drink after the coronation but not now.”
Prince William has a speaking role in the ceremony. He is the only member of the royal family who will honor King Charles with a spoken vow.
