I still find it bemusing when a royal does something really simple like cut a ribbon or dig a small hole that everyone claps lol. It's always odd to view that.

Not ill I don't think but there was a rumour that she had done something very painful to her back which would explain a lot.
My husband had a slipped disc for a while and before surgery he was in agony and couldn’t sit for long periods. He spent most of the time laid on the floor! I don’t think there is anything wrong with her. I think she was very nervous at the coronation and bored shitless at the Concert!
Personally, I am not a fan of many of the comments on the bodies of the royal women on here. There is a lot of shaming of Kate for her body being apparently too slim, then shaming of Meghan for her body apparently not being thin enough.
Why are we still pulling the same messy misogyny of pitting women against each other using their weight as a weapon?
Are we going to get an investiture ceremony for P&POW like Charles had? Just watching an ITV docu and at his investiture Charles made a very similar ‘liege and limb’ declaration to TLQ as William did at the Coronation to Charles
No, think they issued a statement saying they had no plans for one
Yes, I'm sure you're right. I think they said very early on there would be no ceremony.
The official line is: Kensington Palace said an investiture is "not on the table".
Which I think makes sense personally.

This came up on my suggestions and I thought the way William spoke to this 93 year old lady was lovely and came across genuine. I don't usually care about him too much, but it did endear me! Now if he went full time doing this kind of thing, he'd have nothing to worry about 
Why wouldn’t they just say that in a statement? Get some sympathy for her rather than rumour and no-shows?
If she were “well rounded” she would likely have more support from other women as fat shaming is rightly no longer socially acceptable. Thin shaming is a different matter, Kate is thin shamed here on a regular basis.
I don’t agree with the bodyshaming comments but it’s a stretch to say it’s only down to sexism and misogyny when there are daily comments on here on the males’ hairloss and now lack of height which apparently makes them unstatesmanly (i.e. less of a ‘man’)!
Yeah, it wouldn’t be wise to hold a Prince of Wales investiture in this day and age. There was enough of a backlash last time and 2 people actually died and a young boy severely injured/maimed. It was popular in 1911, much less so in 1969. Would open a massive can of worms these days and I don’t think they’d dare hold one in the deeply nationalist Caernarfon where there traditional setting has been, for historical reasons. Just been reading this book about what happened around Charles’s

There are some funny bits too mind. Like, a part of his crown was broken and they had to replace it last minute with a gold-covered ping-pong ball! Honestly! Poor Charles, would only happen to him! Would have been good to have lip readers back then too

I think the main reason we got an investiture in 1969 was because there hadn’t been a Royal big ceremonial event for years … over a decade, really … and there was nothing coming up on the horizon whereas we currently have had an embarrassment of riches.
Wasn’t there some talk of holding some sort of downscale ceremony in Cardiff rather than in Caernarfon Castle? 
Sure I heard something. Perhaps the idea was only floated before being thrown out.
Sure I heard something. Perhaps the idea was only floated before being thrown out.The push for an investiture has always come from Wales itself up to now. Well, I say ‘always’ – it’s only ever been done twice. Lloyd George was by far the main drive for the first in 1911 and George Thomas in 1969. The RF obviously have a say too, like, George VI was firmly againt Elizabeth having one as he felt it should only ever be for Princes not Princesses of Wales! But Charles is also on record saying he wouldn’t want William to have to go through what he did in terms of the backlash, so we now have another reluctant monarch. It isn’t going to happen. Not in Cardiff either. Wouldn’t be worth the risk politically.
Had to check this one out and yes!There are some funny bits too mind. Like, a part of his crown was broken and they had to replace it last minute with a gold-covered ping-pong ball! Honestly! Poor Charles, would only happen to him! Would have been good to have lip readers back then too
Coronet of Charles, Prince of Wales - Wikipedia
en.m.wikipedia.org
‘In the centre of the arch is a monde(which is actually a gold-plated ping-pong ball)[5] engraved with the Prince of Wales's insignia by Malcolm Appleby, surmounted by a plain cross.’
Well that’s ridiculous! I hope William never has to wear it!
ETA suppose the Coronation would have been the occasion to wear it though if any.Because there may be nothing to say? Camilla doesn't have to follow Charles around everywhere and vice versa.She has her own family and may just prefer to focus on quality not quantity in terms of public events?
I imagine Kate as with William has a personal trainer and eats very well based on a nutrition plan. I always think the royals will get top to toe physicals and maybe yearly MRI scans so they must be as healthy as genetics allows!
