It is what it is. He is 50 years older than his mothers coronation photos, she was a youthful girl in her twenties, he’s an old man in his seventies, so no comparison. Yes, times have changed but despite all the negativity he has been prepared for this moment since the age of 4. I don’t suppose he thought it would be a 70 year apprenticeship. And that arsewipe and his shrew in America have aged him, plus yes we miss our late Majesty but so does he, it was his much loved mama. I think he looks majestic, regal but very very tired.I hate to say this but I don’t like it. He isn’t owning it, and looks weak. The photographer should have advised him to keep his mouth closed, and not to slouch. He could be holding a TV remote and a beer in those hands, he looks so nonchalant. It certainly lacks the majesty of his mothers Corination portrait.
I know it’s hard for him. He is very conscious that there are a growing number of people who feel disgruntled by the RF. This morning I had a chat with the lady serving me in the COOP and her and her colleagues were not happy about this coronation, in light of the financial difficulty many of us are facing in this country.
He also has the weight of persistent racism accusations and commonwealth nations threatening to remove him as head of state. Add to that your usual bevvy of inverted snobs and republicans, and then the fact he has very large shoes to fill (figuratively) and people still miss her.
I haven’t even included the ongoing shit storm created by his gopher son and his shit eating rictus grin wearing cunty daughter in law.
Sorry to be negative. I don’t dislike Charles, but I see a man very much conflicted in this photo, and this was pretty much his demeanour during the service.
