That is the question! They should be wearing their coronets and robes but will they, bearing in mind how the HoL has changed?Wont they be wearing the robes and coronets of Duke/Duchess, Earl/Countess?
Andrew, Harry and Meghan too if they have any sense. I think Harry should keep Prince as that was his birthright but not be allowed to use it. I’d like to see the Duke and Duchess taken away though. I think what Andrew did was far, far worse so all titles should be stripped from him.Yes i think that's what it will be. A truce for the Coronation, then afterwards Charles has to sign letter patent that trim down the Royal Family, which will cause more upset, as he will have to strip Archie and Lili of their titles as he said he would. I cant see Harry and William speaking again.
I’m not sure Charles will be remembered for being King so much in 5-10 centuries etc. unless it’s made into a another season of The Crown in the Georgian era for example. Charles did a lot more as Prince of Wales and King in Waiting. People will for sure remember the Harry stuff though, just like the Edward and Wallis saga is remembered.Right - they would look ridiculous to go to the coronation sans official excuses. With all their accusations, it might be hard to then just go like everything is good.
Harry talks about how his emotional state has never been taken into account, yet he requested a meeting with Charles was burying his father, created a crisis while Charles' mother was on her deathbed and is putting a huge pressure on his father just months before the biggest event of his life - embarassing him in front of the whole world. People will remember that the year of Charles' coronation was also the year his own son was airing the rf's dirty laundry and talking about his penis. What a lovely son.
The Royal Collection Trust still have them.https://images.app.goo.gl/EZfaMoD7XQX3egNR8
Lets dig this out for Charlotte!
I never knew that - do you know why?Only the British monarch has an actual coronation. The other events aren't really coronations in the sense - inaugurations and more government events rather than a religious service with bling and prayer.
Possibly because they are the Head of the Church of England and it’s the whole anointed by God thing.I never knew that - do you know why?
Looking online I found that Belgium, Luxembourg and the Netherlands have never had one (maybe to do with head of the church like you suggested?) and that Denmark, Norway and Sweden discontinued theirs from 1849, 1906 and 1873 respectively which seems very early to discontinue them. In Spain there have been no coronations since the medieval times. Interesting!Possibly because they are the Head of the Church of England and it’s the whole anointed by God thing.
Who’s the author? Going to see if it’s on Amazon!There's a book about coronations that's fascinating, called appropriately - Coronation! It traces the history from the 900s AD to QEII's reign and suggests what has been talked about for Charles's in the modern era. Really good stuff, not at all dry.
Sorry but the men look ridiculous
Here is a link! Coronation by Roy StrongWho’s the author? Going to see if it’s on Amazon!
Bling and prayer sounds like a gospel rap group, and I am here for that.Only the British monarch has an actual coronation. The other events aren't really coronations in the sense - inaugurations and more government events rather than a religious service with bling and prayer.
That colour is stunning on Máxima.The Monegasque coronation of Albert in 2005 wasn’t as glamorous as I would have hoped:

The coronation of Willem-Alexander of the Netherlands in 2013 was better but still not glam tiaras on the guests.

That's his sister Caroline.Who is the lady next to Albert of Monaco? She looks great, but black was a strange choice.
I meant at the Dutch coronation. I had to Google it. It's Sheika Moza of Qatar.That's his sister Caroline.
I think that is the norm already many cases. Most Arabic or African representatives do that to a certain extent. Mixing national elements (cuts, colours, embellishments) and the expected western standard for the occasion in their outfits. They adhere to rules around dress code but often within their cultural norms. Under the spoiler a few examples of W&K wedding. That’s a good decade ago. I am sure we haven’t made a step backwards in that regard.More than the finery at the coronation, I'm hoping we'll see outfits at least inspired by the national dress of the national representatives present. I'd like to see a lot of modern designers' takes on formal dress with cultural elements or nods.
I’ve seen the Swedish RF wear their national dress to certain events which is quite cool:More than the finery at the coronation, I'm hoping we'll see outfits at least inspired by the national dress of the national representatives present.
