People Divided As Woman Behind Prince Charles Falls Asleep During Platinum Pageant

People Divided As Woman Behind Prince Charles Falls Asleep During Platinum Pageant

Some called her a 'hero' while others were not impressed.

The Queen's Platinum Pageant saw the final event of the busy four-day Jubilee weekend - and Brits can't stop laughing after spotting one woman falling asleep behind Prince Charles.

It's been a jam-packed weekend full of celebrations, and on Sunday evening (5 June), the Royal family as well as members of the public, enjoyed the Platinum Pageant which combined street art, theatre, musical and circus performances.

Brits at home tuned into the events too, with many watching the celebrations from their sofas.

But many were distracted by one audience member, sitting behind Prince Charles, who appeared to be nodding off throughout the performances.

It has been a long weekend!

Viewers at home were divided. While many called her a 'hero' and sympathised, others called it 'disrespectful'.

One person commented: "The woman falling asleep behind Prince Charles to the point they had to change camera angle had us in stitches, bless her! Sometimes you just need a snooze."

While another tweeted: "Hahaha the lady falling asleep behind Prince Charles. Icon."

And a third said: "That poor woman sleeping is my hero, good bless you and sleep on the haters."

Others were less than impressed, with another adding: "Whoever you are sitting behind Prince Charles, SHOW SOME RESPECT! Stop falling asleep, looking bored, scrolling on your phone."

And a second said: "Just imagine how many people would love the seat behind Prince Charles where that lady is falling asleep."

A third tweeted: "Who was the woman who kept falling asleep behind Prince Charles? Shame she didn’t enjoy this fabulous pageant."

This weekend kicked off with the Queen's official birthday event, Trooping the Colour, on Thursday, followed by a Service of Thanksgiving at St Paul’s on Friday and a Party at the Palace on Saturday.

On Sunday, the Queen said in a letter to the nation that she was 'humbled and deeply touched' by the celebrations.

"When it comes to how to mark seventy years as your Queen, there is no guidebook to follow. It really is a first. But I have been humbled and deeply touched that so many people have taken to the streets to celebrate my Platinum Jubilee," she wrote.

"While I may not have attended every event in person, my heart has been with you all; and I remain committed to serving you to the best of my ability, supported by my family.

"I have been inspired by the kindness, joy and kinship that has been so evident in recent days, and I hope this renewed sense of togetherness will be felt for many years to come.

"I thank you most sincerely for your good wishes and for the part you have all played in these happy celebrations."
