The coronation of King Charles III took place at Westminster Abbey on Saturday. Delegations from various countries attended the ceremony. The Australian contingent caught the eye of soccer fans with Chelsea Women’s forward as the flag bearer. USWNT superstar Megan Rapinoe made an unusual demand for the Australian soccer star over social media. 

They chose Chelsea forward Sam Kerr, a two-time MVP in NWSL (2017, 2019), to lead the Australian delegation. It included the Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese. They took part in the ceremony as a part of the Commonwealth. However, the response from Megan Rapinoe to a social media post is a talking point.

Megan Rapinoe asks to give the crown to Sam Kerr

Sam Kerr was proud of being part of King Charles III’s coronation. Bearing a flag ahead of the leaders of the country is a massive moment. One of the Instagram handles posted a well-suited pic of Sam Kerr carrying an Australian flag. USWNT superstar Megan Rapinoe responded weirdly. She wrote, ” Excellent suiting. Give her the crown tho..”

It was a prominent role for the Chelsea forward in the Australian delegation. She found out about bearing an Australian flag over a phone call. However, the opportunity came at a moment when Chelsea had a game this weekend. But Chelsea manager Emma Hayes helped Kerr to attend the ceremony.

Kerr spoke about it on the Chelsea website. She said, “I found out I’d been offered the role from a phone call, but I wasn’t sure if I could do it because we have a game on Sunday, but Emma’s been kind enough to let me miss a practice for it, which is very nice of her.” It was a significant gesture from Chelsea’s boss to let Sam Kerr attend the coronation.  

Rapinoe recently did wild celebrations

The USWNT superstar was absent from the roster for two friendlies against the Republic of Ireland due to injury. She made her comeback last month in an NWSL game against San Diego Wave FC. Rapinoe scored from a free kick against Chicago Red Stars in her second NWSL game after injury.

The OL Reign forward celebrated with some unique moves after scoring the goal. However, after the game, NWSL scrapped the goal from Rapinoe and gave it as an own goal. But Rapinoe’s celebrations caught the eyes of the fans. Meanwhile, Rapinoe got her first goal of the season against Racing Louisville.
