She didn't look bored, she looked very nervous and also terrified that the crowns were going to fall of her head. Charles looked terrified of that as well. I would also assume that there were specific reasons that she didn't attend the reception and walk about - she is known to have back problems?I don’t have much problem with Camilla but my opinion has gone down a bit with her not attending the reception last night, not going to the Mall yesterday and with her looking so bored today.
She reminded me of someone sitting in the electric chair waiting for the switch to be flicked…..Same she seemed to be a bag of nerves! Felt a bit sorry for her. She was like a rabbit caught in the headlights.
People are so creative! I wish I could knit/crochet (sorry, not sure of the difference!)
Capacity to breed has no impact on right to rule, but would impact on succession.Random thought but if George is gay and wants to adopt to have children would that child be King without the blood line or would Charlotte become Queen? Or would he not be allowed to adopt but have to use a surrogate with him being the biological dad.
I wonder if those conversations have been had to preserve the line.
Guess the same applies if he is infertile for any reason.
Yes and that was the only bit I was bothered about! I'm going to have a look for it on iPlayer later.What tv coverage did you watch? I watched BBC and felt I missed all the guests arriviny, including the Royals.
Penny M looked amazing.Yes and that was the only bit I was bothered about! I'm going to have a look for it on iPlayer later.
I must say, I thought the floral headdresses were beautiful. Don't get me wrong, I love a tiara, but I felt the floral ones looked very modern and appropriate. And the children looked absolutely adorable yesterday. Charlotte would've looked like she was playing dress up in Claire's Accessories with a bling tiara. Their look was perfection.

MVP though, was surely Penny "biceps" Mordaunt. Looking like an Olympic goddess with that sword, her arms must be killing her this morning.
I was definitely grumpy at the lack of bling … Charles wanted sustainability … what is more sustainable than trotting off down to the vault and wearing something sparkly you’ve had for 100 years (and in the case of anything from Queen Mary was probably ‘gifted’ in the first place) rather than have someone craft a new mock-tiara that you’re going to have to pay for?I was disappointed by no tiaras, perhaps an unpopular opinion but i think it made catherine’s headpiece look a bit cheap and she stood out as no one else was allowed one. Plus if Charles had said no tiaras, I doubt he was pleased with what she ended up using
Been thinking along the same lines as you. This is how monarchy will end I reckon. Because its very basis will be at odds with modern life by then. You can’t maintain primogeniture AND have an adopted/surrogate-born heir, but nor can you discount such children or class them as ‘less valid’ in this day and age and going forward. It’s all going to crumble and this is, IMO, how.Random thought but if George is gay and wants to adopt to have children would that child be King without the blood line or would Charlotte become Queen?

It will be a huge issue for the monarchy if it ever happens or when it happens I suppose. A surrogate might be allowable if they change the rules because it's the same DNA but adopted won't be. If it's a conversation that needs to be had it will just highlight how bizarre the idea of God sending someone to rule over the country actually is. It's fine as long as people don't have to think about it but if they do have to think about it and consider the rights of adopted v surrogate v natural born children then you're on very shaky ground.Been thinking along the same lines as you.
