The Coronation of King Charles III

[Catfan2]

They’re called Ladies in Attendance (used to be waiting) one is her sister, the other her long time friend.

Thank you, that would make sense if one is her sister

Will they get a shift on poor Penny’s arms and calves must be starting to burn.

If they cut all the singing this could've had this wrapped up within the hour!

Will they get a shift on poor Penny’s arms and calves must be starting to burn.

No, she’s levelling UP. She already bossed it and had a sword upgrade! Bad ass witch is our Pen!

 

[Em_gardener]

She has been my very unexpected hero of the day. Actually I think I remember her conducting herself in a similarly dignified way during one of the ceremonies after the Queen died. She’s certainly got “presence” and looks amazing! I think I’m developing a crush

Penny is 50! She doesn't look it! I love everything about her look today. She looks fab.

 

[InkHeart]

Ok, I was laughing earlier, but Penny's doing incredibly with that sword. I didn't realise how long she had to hold it still. I can't even carry a shopping bag for two minutes without needing to rest it and wiggle my fingers.

Not all health conditions are the result of our choices. Some are just luck or genetics.

Oh for sure. But Charles has the best of both, genetics and the fortune to be born into that privilege so he can get waited on hand and foot, no worries.

 

[mooseknuckle]

It feels like they can't wait to have it done with. Is the same date as the queen's coronation or something? I think there's some significance to the date.

May 6th was King George VI (Charles’s Grandfather) coronation. It was also Princess Margaret’s (Charle’s Aunt) wedding anniversary as well as the death of King Edward VII (Charles’s great-great Grandfather) so making George V King that day. Let’s be real though, it’s to piss off that head Megan some more.

 

[FenellaTheWitch]

I love this hymn.

 

[Em_gardener]

I googled it and found King George V was crowned May the 6th too

Thank you. I knew I read something about it.

She's been working on her arms in the gym for sure.

 

[greenvelvet]

Apparently this is the first time women have ever sung in the choir at a coronation! (In the UK)

 

[Whatamadworld]

Because it's Archie's birthday and he wanted to annoy Megan

He may have hoped Meghan and Harry would come with the children. How soon would the coronation have been arranged after thr Queen's death?

 

[MrsJones83]

I hope they’re going to give Charlotte something very beige for lunch, wouldn’t want her to stain that lovely white outfit my nerves wouldn’t hack it

 

[Shesaidwhat?]

Charlotte has got the job of being Princess nailed hasn’t she?

 

[Redrose97]

I love how even from a distance you can see Harry's bald patch in the crowd, I keep focusing on it.

 

[Multi-21]

I can’t believe they have cut this service in half since the Queen’s coronation

 

[Bobby Chariot]

If they cut all the singing this could've had this wrapped up within the hour!

The music has been great

 

[stardust21]

Bit harsh of Huw to keep talking about Cammie and Charlie retiring… like, they only just got crowned!

 

[Em_gardener]

I love how even from a distance you can see Harry's bald patch in the crowd, I keep focusing on it.

He should accept that he's bald and stop trying to cover it up. It's always better to embrace it gracefully.

Not gonna lie I'd actually like to be associated to royals or those upper class lot. The connections must come in super handy. I've always wondered how that half of the privilege live, especially the posh friends of the royals.

I'd recommend reading the Chips Channon Diaries for some idea what it was like in the 30s and 40s.
