I found an article about how Charles and Camilla will wear outfits by an Indian designer for one of the events - Coronation evening, I think. Lost the link, but it sounded quite luxurious. We do have the form for thatBling it on!
King Charles Coronation: What will he wear for the ceremony?
The King will wear layers of glittering garments, some of which were created for George V.www.bbc.co.uk

You absolutely nailed it. There is a puff piece today in the NYPost that has the new PR thumbprint all over it. She…not Harry…is to be a new power mogul in Hollywood, not acting…but .producing content, sponsorships etc.The rebrand to me is a tacit admission of failure. She had the help of Sunshine Sachs and Harrys lucrative status for sale and this was what helped land them their deals early on (Netflix, Spotify). Meghan delivered a book which was forgettable, a Netflix series which was mocked (i.e. "I love the part where...") and, despite living in the present, it went over old material and was a turgid watch with an overwhelming and unpalatable sense of self-absorption. Oh look! Someone on a scooter seems to be following us! This is harassment!
Then there was a podcast which despite the hype and debut with Williams and Carey eventually limped through the amount of casts agreed upon and like the subsequent guests was also forgettable. So the quick and easy money has been banked yet even with all of that propping her up it was easily waved away with South Parks rejoinder of Instagram Loving Bitch Wife hence the need for a rebrand. We might laugh at that but, commercially, it was so cutting. His book, while lucrative, damaged their mutual brand and there seems to be a split happening. WME say they are honoured to represent a global icon and I sense a definite shift away from the past and the Royal association. "Living in the present".
I think the rebrand in order to be successful will seek to discard the whole Duchess of Sussex image and will be a return to pre-Harry Meghan Markle since associations in the general public mind with Meghan and the Royal family is negative. It will take her P&G letter writing moxy and mix it all with her raised status. She may even need to bite the bullet and make peace with her father. Any good PR would recommend that as a shrewd move and there would be quid pro quo for them all in that. I think the brand is desperate to actually go there since she needs to be seen as likeable. We all know the history, it would be a hollow gesture on her part but to Joe and Jane Schmoe who could care less about the details it would have good Daddy/Daughter optics, optics which could be subsequently sold and which would also give the cold and distant Royals a covert middle finger i.e. hey look everyone at least Meghan can kiss and make up.
I'm not sure how lucrative this will be but I think that is the way this will go. While still a member of the royal family the goal will be to brand her as the famous woman who used to be Royal a few years back and is open for offers/collabs etc. Not attending the coronation being the first step there. That all now becomes Prince Harrys thing to deal with. He was the one who wanted their kids to have titles. Meghan Markle is done with that. The only title important to her is Mom lest we forget.
Totally off topic and if not allowed, the Mods I apologise and ask that you delete this.
I know we have Tattlers from all around the globe on here. May I ask if people from other nations thank the bus driver when they disembark?. I have been bus-ing it to see my daughter in hospital after her major op, and every local thanks the bus driver when they get off. Is it just a Scottish thing?
Black country here, its usually thanks bab, or cheers cockerYes. Always. I'm in Wales, so the usual comment when alighting is "Thanks drive."
Shouldn’t have watched this, I’m crying my eyes out
I had chips from the chippy just after my epidural (about 12 hours in) and 4 hours before an emergency c section.Actually I had forgotten this. You can’t eat in case you need to be taken for emergency surgery, it’s too risky for surgery to have food. Hence the fasting for planned surgery min 12 hours prior
In Wales as well. I live in Swansea!London based Merkin here. Many Londoners (olde skool) say "Thank you driver" as they leave the bus. I say "thank you" and smile getting on so I can make eye contact and to set an example for my kids.
Same - this was beautiful.Who doing the new Fred?!

SW Wales here and we say this too.Yes. Always. I'm in Wales, so the usual comment when alighting is "Thanks drive."
On loose women Denis welch big meghan supporter was asked should ILBW make amends with her father. She used 'a friend's example' that she was abused by her father and therefore couldn't make amends. Surely this is not the next stunt the ILBW will pull.https://giphy.com/ge2SnG1B5mJqqB6SLj
