The disrupted coronation of George IV: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coronation_of_George_IV

The King loathed Caroline of Brunswick, his legal wife, and at the coronation she was shut out of the palace and the Abbey. Years later, when the king was informed that his greatest enemy was dead, he replied "By God, is she?" (the informant had actually been referring to Napoleon).
