Yes the lack the queen really stands out. It was probably the same feeling for her own Coronation tbh.
I always thought it was weird when people said they recon Charles was waiting for her to die to become King. At the end of the day it’s his Mum, and while he probably didn’t always get on with her, I doubt he wanted her to due.
I think he’s probably enjoyed being Prince of Wales and being able to talk about climate change and the environment as well.
If he’s anything like me, and doesn’t like change, today will be stressful!
