I was slightly disappointed by the choice of the robes being worn. We see them out every year at the Order of the Garter so it would have been more special to see outfits specially for this Coronation. I preferred the sparkly dress choices worn by the ladies at Queen Elizabeth II coronation. Today's senior royals could have been wearing anything, we didn't see it. We got all the designer info, but we literally haven't seen any of the dresses in full.

I think the choice of clothing was deliberate. Viewers were given very few distractions the focus was solely on the ceremony, the King and Queen and the items used during it.
Do you think they’ve all had a turn wearing the crown like when you’re at a wedding reception or a Christening do and you try on each others hats.
I’d imagine the Keeper of the Crown Jewels had it whipped off and back in its secure case almost before they were off the balcony.
(Is t it the King Edward crown that can supposedly only be touched by the Keeper of the Jewels, the Archbishop of Canterbury and the Monarch)
OMG I hope so!
He is a 5 year old boy ....being a "nightmare " at the wrong times are in their DNA .......
I'm still confused about the crown. He only wears it once? But the Queen wore it many times? She wore a different one for her coronation?
Help me out

No, King Edward Crown is just for the coronation.
It’s the Imperial State Crown for daywear.
The 2 they mainly wear are : coronation crown wear ,yes, only once &
Crown for the state opening of parliament every year.
Thanks all. I'll do some reading.

Daywear, like he wears it down to breakfast
Fear not, they are not actual tiaras. They are made of silver, crystals and embroidery.
Honestly, the coronation was a little underwhelming. I was expecting this big extravaganza, but it wasn't like that. Not so much glitz and glamour, more choir singings and religious speeches. Do you guys think William's will be bigger and more extravagant?
They still need paying for, presumably .
just go to the vault and use one you’ve got already

I suppose it depends on stuff like how long it is between coronations and what the state of the country is at the time, but off the bat I’d say no … the days of the ultra extravagant displays are done.
I doubt it. If he ever does one. Once the precedent is set, and he famously hates pomp…
I think it was a bit of boring because in the last few years we've had the jubilee and the Queens funeral which were massive events. this seems a bit dull compared to them.

They have really really upped their social media game.
