Maybe Lionel can do a twist on Caribbean Queen for the concert.
Edit whoops that was Billy Ocean
TBH that both look as if they'd qualify for Carer's Allowance to me.
Maybe Lionel can do a twist on Caribbean Queen for the concert.Camilla is his Carolean Queen and Carer though...No wonder the poor lady looks stressed and tired...
I saw something where he seemed to be complaining but I thought it was a spoof as the words didn’t seem to match his mouths movement. Something about rehearsing for months for this momentHas anyone seen the clip of C&C in the carriage, waiting to go into the Abbey? Sky News have used a lip reader on it. I dont know how accurate it is, but I was more interested in his facial expressions and body language.
After the fountain pen drama, and now this, what a miserable, short-tempered chap Charles seems to be. And that was after travelling in the comfy carriage. I hate to think what he was like after the return journey!
I paid no attention the lip reading, about as reliable as Judi James. But you could see he was clearly pissed off. Someone in his privileged position should at least know how to conceal his frustration in public, whatever the circumstances. Just smile through gritted teeth for the plebs and read the riot act to the staff later.Lip readers for news seem all about more entertainment and making shit up more than anything. He looked moved and also very tired and cautious of not having the crown fall off! They all got there early, and the Waleses got there a bit late, so the procession was a mess - but compared to 1953 imo the whole thing looked a mess.
He looked exhausted. And I have heaps of sympathy for him re: the pen - he was grieving, tired, he's old, was going from place to place, and we know he hardly ever sleeps. People act like he had some shouting temper tantrum or something.
It’s difficult really. It’s a day they’ve planned for and rehearsed to the second and the stress level and nerves are high. I don’t suppose they thought that a lip reader would be dusted off to see an off the cuff remark. In our family, it was a way of actually relieving stress. My dad and grandad could Jokey-moan to Olympic standard. If the phrase ‘what is it with me, I must have killed a Robin’ was used, you knew you were in for a fun few minutes.Well he had DoE as an example so he's hardly likely to be good at hiding his frustrations
Just take the fucking picture springs to mind
I don't think he looked pissed off at all but confused. These things are planned to the second - I think it shows this was not well organized or well planned like things have been in the past.I paid no attention the lip reading, about as reliable as Judi James.

I agree about the balcony. It seemed pointless to have everyone on the balcony when the rest of the royals squashed were together at the left of the balcony because the pages were either side of Charles and Camilla. Sophie was standing in front of Anne (although I did see Edward asking Anne if she wanted to swap places) and we didn’t get much of a view of the Gloucester’s, Duke of Kent or Princess AlexandraI thought it all looked a bit shambolic! When Edward & Sophie arrived there was confusion as to who was sitting where & people who we’re already seated having to move from their seats. There were so many pics in the press of the family attending rehearsals, they obviously paid offThe balcony was also a mess. Idk it just seemed so lacklustre, I was disappointed.
With the mess of the balcony acknowledged, I am glad they included the pages. For the royals, they've either had many a balcony moment or will have another in a month. For most of those pages (including those whose grandmother is now Queen) this is a once in a lifetime opportunity.I agree about the balcony.

The pages were included on the balcony for QE's and George VI's coronations too!With the mess of the balcony acknowledged, I am glad they included the pages.

I'm pleased they got that moment.
She’s allowed to exist. It’s not like she was getting papped during the ceremony.The pages were included on the balcony for QE's and George VI's coronations too!

Meghan hasn't been seen for weeks but was papped todayVery predictable!
Yes she is, and the fact that she's only photoraphed by the paps a few times a year means she can exist perfectly well without backgrid.She’s allowed to exist. It’s not like she was getting papped during the ceremony.
Yes, it's almost like the paps think there's money to be made in a pic of her right now..The pages were included on the balcony for QE's and George VI's coronations too!

It’s funny because I didn’t even know she was papped until you said. You should try not reading or clicking on pap stories and providing the attention you claim she craves.Yes she is, and the fact that she's only photoraphed by the paps a few times a year means she can exist perfectly well without backgrid.
Maybe not during the ceremony but during the coronation concert!
