The list of attendees seems to be quite small. I did notice too that Mama Jill will be without Brandon at her side.

Brit cuisine is much better now than in years past. I guess the fish and chips is an effort to humanize the royal family, or something. I do remember having that dish at a London pub several years ago, and whenever peas happened to fall off anyone's plate, there was a little Jack Russell standing by to snatch them up.

This is just feeding Trump's Entitlement Syndrome (TES) even more. I'm sure He's watching it.

Prince William's Key Role at Coronation Revealed — How the Heir Will Pay Homage to Father King Charles
People, Apr 30, 2023
The Prince of Wales, who is heir to the British throne, will step forward at Westminster Abbey on May 6 and pledge his loyalty and allegiance to the King during the historic ceremony.
Soon after King Charles is crowned midway through the ceremony, Prince William, 40, will kneel before King Charles, 74, and place his hands between the hands of the King and say: "I, William, Prince of Wales, pledge my loyalty to you and faith and truth I will bear unto you, as your liege man of life and limb. So help me God."
Prince William — who celebrated his 12th wedding anniversary with Kate Middleton, the Princess of Wales on Saturday — is the only royal who will pay his respects in this way in the service.
Prince William will also appear during the coronation service as the Stole Royal (from an ancient Greek word meaning "scarf") and the Robe Royal are brought to the King. William will assist the Baroness Merron and bishops in putting the robe on King Charles.
The liturgy also sees another distinct break from the past, with the Archbishop, the Most Rev. and Right Honorable Justin Welby, inviting people around the U.K. watching or listening to the ceremony to join in a Homage of the People. That role would traditionally have been done by hereditary dukes and earls at Westminster Abbey.
The Church of England says this is a "new and significant moment in the tradition of the Coronation . . . As never before has the general public been offered such an opportunity to join with national figures in declaring their allegiance to the Sovereign."
The new vow says, "I swear that I will pay true allegiance to Your Majesty, and to your heirs and successors according to law. So help me God."
Prince George, Prince William's eldest son who is second in the line of succession, will also play a special role in his grandfather's coronation. The 9-year-old royal will serve as a Page of Honor to King Charles at the crowning ceremony.
George's participation at the coronation will make history — according to The Telegraph, Prince George will become the youngest future king to play an official role at a coronation.

King Charles Coronation: What will he wear for the ceremony?
BBC, May 1, 2023
We know the date, the time, most of the guest list - and now we know the outfit.
The heavy and priest-like golden robes King Charles III will wear for his Coronation have been revealed.
During the service, the King will put on layer upon layer of glittering vestments, some of which were created for his great-grandfather George V.
Prince William will help during the service by placing a ceremonial robe on his father.
For the crowning, King Charles will be given a long shimmering gold-sleeved coat to wear called the Supertunica.
The robe was created for George V in 1911 and has been worn at successive coronations including by the late Queen Elizabeth II.
It weighs about 2kg (4.4lb), is made of cloth of gold - silk thread wrapped in thin pieces of gold or silver gilt metal - and is embroidered with stylised arabesques and floral motifs.
Layered on top of the Supertunica, there will be a floor-length cloak called the Imperial Mantle, or Robe Royal, which was made for George IV in 1821 - it weighs 3-4kg (6.6-8.8lb).
The mantle, which fastens across the chest with a golden eagle clasp, is inspired by ancient coronation ensembles and its priest-like style is meant to symbolise the divine nature of kingship.
Made of cloth of gold, it is embellished with motifs including fleur-de-lis, as well as imperial eagles, and national floral emblems of red-pink roses, blue thistles and green shamrocks.
It has been worn by previous monarchs including Queen Elizabeth II during her coronation in 1953.

Meanwhile, the single coronation glove, also known as the Coronation Gauntlet, will go on King Charles' right hand while he holds the Sovereign's Sceptre with Cross during the crowning.
It is made of white leather and the large cuff is embroidered in the form of national emblems including the Tudor rose, thistle, shamrock, oak leaves and acorns. The back of the hand has an embroidered ducal coronet above the coat of arms of the family of the Dukes of Newcastle.

Kate and William hit the pub, pose for selfies and joke they are looking forward to downing cocktails after Charles' Coronation - but Princess admits 'all of the ducks' are not quite in a row yet
Daily Mail, May 4, 2023
On Saturday they are likely to travel by horse and carriage.
But today the Prince and Princess of Wales turned commuter as they hopped on the London Underground to work.
William and Kate travelled, naturally, on the Elizabeth Line from Acton Main Line station to Tottenham Court Road, the nearest stop to Soho, where they stopped off to pull pints and chat to hospitality staff at the Dog and Duck pub.
And during the royal mother-of-three, who recycled her Eponine coat for the occasion, admitted the family were still getting 'all of the ducks' in a row before the big event.
The Princess also revealed her three children were deeply immersed in the preparations. 'The children are having their Coronation celebration at school today,' she said.
And the royal added that their eldest child Prince George was 'excited' about the upcoming celebrations and had been taking part in rehearsals.
She explained that George was a page of honour during the service at Westminster Abbey and, asked if he was looking forward to it, she replied: 'He is actually. Having done a few rehearsals, I think everyone is a bit more relaxed.'
She praised the atmosphere in the area as 'wonderful' and that excitement for the coronation was 'already starting to build'.
Meanwhile they headed outside to meet with crowds of cheering royal fans, who greeted them with shouts of 'We love you!' before the couple posed for selfies with the crowd.
Prince William appeared relaxed as he chatted with royal fans, telling one group who were discussing the newly opened Shambles Bar in Windsor: 'I love a cocktail! Best not to do it before the Coronation but maybe afterwards!'

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s last-minute power play ahead of King Charles’ coronation: expert
Prince Harry will attend King Charles III's coronation alone, while Meghan Markle stays home in California with their children
By Neil Sean | Fox News
COMMENTARY: After months of will they, won’t they, it was finally announced with great fanfare that Harry would attend the royal coronation.
Now Duchess Meghan, that was another thing. While she sits back idly waiting for an apology from the royals for making her relevant and internationally famous, she declined the invite to the event of the decade because she wanted to stay home for a 4-year old’s birthday party. Truthfully, can anyone recall their fourth birthday?
After a batch of backfires in the PR stakes – with secret letters sent to King Charles to explain why she was such a monster on TV to Oprah, and then to explain the meaning behind it – this was the bombshell of the week.
This was followed up with Meghan gushing about her chum for a social media talk. Then, if that were not quite enough, accidentally going out to a Lakers game and brushing away the rehearsed advances of her husband Prince Harry for the world to see on the "kiss cam." Well, that all failed so now what? This!
(https://a57.foxnews.com/static.foxnews.com/foxnews.com/content/uploads/2023/04/1862/1046/meghan-harry-copy.jpg?ve=1&tl=1)
You see Meghan trusts/uses a few people on earth with her detailed worlds, and her closest crony is the man who also misled the world about he and her not advising/working on a biography flop, you know the one who regularly pops up on TV spouting drivel like how hard Meghan and Harry are working on their charity work.
He is back just in time to launch this new PR missile and hopes that people will remember what hardworking charitable people they are. Sadly for them, he chose the little watched U.K. show "This Morning," embroiled already in their own crisis with its presenters falling out and court cases, not the best choice of daytime TV you can imagine.
"Meghan and Harry were not sure they would be welcomed," he gushed to camera, which would almost bring a tear to a glass eye.
Really, you think, after the docs, the book "Spare" and Harry demanding that the royals pay homage to Meghan, meanwhile bowing down to Harry. Again, you see, Meghan and Harry want to put the public spin on this.
I can reveal in fact they were both cordially invited way back late last year, with an offer directly from the king, to spend the festive season with them and the family. The truth is they had no idea at that time on how to get in touch with Harry as his phone keeps changing due to "security," so again not the truth but Meghan and Harry’s truth.

Prince Harry arrives in London on commercial flight for King Charles’ coronation
By Eileen Reslen and Sara Nathan
May 5, 2023 | 2:41pm
Prince Harry arrived in London on Friday on a commercial flight ahead of his father King Charles III’s coronation, Page Six can confirm.
The grand royal event, in which Charles and his wife, Camilla, will officially be crowned king and queen of the United Kingdom and other Commonwealth realms, is scheduled to take place on Saturday at Westminster Abbey.
Although Harry, 38, will be in attendance, Buckingham Palace confirmed last month that his wife, Meghan Markle, will not be joining him.
Instead, the Duchess of Sussex, 41, will remain in California with the couple’s two kids, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, as the former is turning 4 on the same day as the coronation.

Is one nervous? King Charles laughs as fans ask how he's feeling with less than 24 hours until Coronation - as Royalists who camped out all week burst into tears as they meet beaming Kate and William on impromptu Mall walkabout
Daily Mail, May 5, 2023
The King and the Prince and Princess of Wales thrilled royal fans at The Mall as they made a surprise appearance to greet well-wishers this afternoon, less than 24 hours before the coronation.
The road leading to Buckingham Palace was cleared and royal fans eagerly lined the route, having likely figured out that they may well catch a glimpse of the new King due to the security and media presence.
The King laughed when asked by a man if he was 'nervous for tomorrow' and was was heard joking to some children, 'No school? You've done very well!' William told one woman 'I love your hair bow', while Kate told another person that the occasion 'is a great moment for celebration'.
People cheered and could be heard shouting 'God Save the King' as the senior figures of the monarchy arrived to shake hands with well-wishers. One woman told Charles: 'You look much younger in the flesh' - causing him to jokingly grimace.

Royal superfans who have been sleeping along the route all week were left blown away by the visit, which came just hours after a downpour soaked thousands of people camped out at The Mall, with one person telling Sky News: 'This is the happiest moment in my life.'

Maybe the camera caught him at the wrong moment but it looks like Charles is crying, not laughing.
Perhaps he's overwhelmed? He's been waiting patiently for this day for many years.
Rumor has it that he's going to in turn hand the crown over to William.

On Thursday, The Independent exclusively revealed that Charles has snubbed Earl Spencer, Princess Diana’s brother, from the invitation list.

Harry to be relegated to third row at coronation ceremony, report says
Prince Harry will be relegated to the third row when he attends tomorrow's coronation ceremony, according to a report.
The Sun says that the Duke of Sussex, 38, arrived in the UK yesterday without his wife Meghan, who is in California, where the couple now live.
He will sit between Princess Eugenie's husband Jack Brooksbank and Princess Alexandra (Queen Elizabeth's cousin, whose last royal working engagement was a decade ago), the newspaper says.
The front row has been reserved for senior working royals, according to an "insider" quoted in the report.
"There were discussions that the seating could be arranged on line of succession," they said.
That would have put Harry in the front row, with William and Kate.
"Instead the decision was working royals only at the front and work back from there. Harry will be a long way from his father."

Still maintain that it's because Harry's father is not King Charles. He has no 'Royal' blood in his veins.

And now it’s official
He’s been crowned King.

I think that’s possible, but Harry’s tv appearance and book did a lot of damage to his standing in the family. He lost their respect.

U.S. President Joe Biden is nowhere to be seen as leaders from across the world gather for the Coronation of King Charles III.
Senior officials from various countries across the world have gathered for the Coronation of King Charles III, with even some leaders hostile to the UK and the monarchy travelling to represent their nations and ideologies at the event.
However, notably absent from proceedings is President of the United States Joe Biden, who has decided to stay home after his five-day tour of Ireland, opting to send his wife, Jill, to attend the event in his stead. Speaking earlier this week from his golf course in Scotland, former President Donald Trump quipped that the 80-year-old Democrat would likely be “sleeping in Delaware” during the historic ocasion.

Prince Harry wastes no time flying back to US after King Charles’ coronation
By Eileen Reslen and Sara Nathan
May 6, 2023 | 9:03am
He got out of dodge.
Prince Harry hastily left London less than an hour after his father King Charles III’s coronation ended Saturday, Page Six can confirm.
The Duke of Sussex, 38, rushed home to California in order to make it in time for his son Prince Archie’s 4th birthday.
Harry was in the UK for less than 24 hours, as he just arrived via commercial flight Friday evening.
The renegade royal spent the night at Frogmore Cottage — the property Charles kicked him and Meghan Markle out of earlier this year in order to gift it to Prince Andrew.

All the King's men King Charles' 'hot' equerry draws eyes again at coronation
Equerry Major Jonathan Thompson, 39, had viewers swooning during the crowning service inside Westminster Abbey.
One man set hearts on fire at King Charles’ coronation on Saturday — and it wasn’t the new monarch.
Equerry Major Jonathan Thompson, 39, had viewers swooning during the crowning service inside Westminster Abbey.
An equerry is an officer of the British royal household who assists members of the family, with Thompson tending to Charles since the death of Queen Elizabeth last year.
The hunky assistant was by the sovereign’s side during his historic ceremony, and Twitter users were quick to drool over his presence.
“The King’s equerry. Uber hot!” one amorous fan wrote.
“Anyone else clocked the dashing chap in the kilt?” a second asked.
“That’s the dashing major Johnny. Hands off!!” a third chimed in.
“Our Major Johnny looking fiiiiinnnneeeee as always 🔥🥰,” another person penned.
“Johnnie? He’s a beauty isn’t he?” an additional admirer concurred.
Thompson previously went viral during the funeral of the Queen last year. He previously served as her equerry and was her most senior bodyguard for a period of time.

Rushed home for his son's birthday. I declare B.S. Harry made an appearance and saw William kiss is father and pledge his alliance and I think he realized exactly what a mistake he made slandering his family.

Prince Harry bolts after King Charles coronation, as Meghan Markle likely watched on TV: experts
..........It is understood that the Duke of Sussex, 38, kept his visit to his country brief and headed swiftly back home to the duchess and their children. According to reports, the prince was invited to have lunch with his family following the ceremony but declined.
"How lovely of the royal family yet again to have extended the olive branch," British royals expert Hilary Fordwich told Fox News Digital.
Charles and his wife, Queen Camilla were crowned on Saturday at London’s Westminster Abbey. Harry was spotted sitting several rows behind his elder brother Prince William. The siblings have had a strained relationship.............
............."As if Harry needed more of a reminder of what he has given up, the sight of the Apache helicopters flying over the Buckingham Palace balcony would have brought it all home," royal expert Duncan Larcombe told Fox News Digital. "The royal was absent from the balcony as the king was cheered by thousands down below. The very same gunships that Harry flew in Afghanistan were used to mark a fly-by in honor of the coronation."................
............"He is seeing the life he not only left behind but blew up the bridge behind him," said Ludwig. "He is among people who he has attacked, offended and don’t really want to be around him or trust him anymore. Harry is now an official outsider."

Jill Biden and granddaughter wear Ukrainian colors in solidarity at coronation
First Lady Jill Biden attended the King's coronation Saturday alongside her granddaughter in Ukrainian colors.
Finnegan Biden, 23, was the first lady's plus one in Westminster Abbey as President Joe Biden was not in attendance. The Biden's second-oldest granddaughter wore a yellow Markarian dress complete with a cape while Jill Biden wore a blue top and skirt by Ralph Lauren, in apparent solidarity with Ukraine.
"We stand with Ukraine," Biden tweeted the day before the coronation.

Wasn't Harry forbidden from wearing his military duds?
Prince Andrew Wears Full Royal Regalia, Prince Harry Remains in a Suit at King Charles III's Coronation
King Charles III's scandal-plagued brother Prince Andrew wore his Order of the Garter robes to the coronation while Prince Harry once again forewent his military uniform.
By Natalie Finn | E! News • Published May 6, 2023 • Updated on May 6, 2023 at 9:50 am
Prince Andrew didn't have to do anything other than show up at King Charles III and Queen Camilla's coronation, but he came dressed for the occasion.
The king's scandal-plagued younger brother, who stepped back from his royal duties in November 2019, wore his Order of the Garter robes to the May 6 event at Westminster Abbey, where he sat in the third row along with daughters Princess Eugenie and Princess Beatrice and their spouses.
Also noticeably in their row was Prince Harry, who donned a plain morning suit for the occasion, pinned with his military medals. He took a seat next to Eugenie's husband Jack Brooksbank as the ceremony got underway. Andrew sat at the end of the row, next to Beatrice and her husband Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi. ...
Andrew's ex-wife, Sarah Ferguson, did not receive one of the 2,000 invitations to the coronation, which she attributed to it being a "state occasion," telling Good Morning Britain that, "being divorced, I don't think you can have it both ways. ...

Well, in looking at it for a bit, to me it is someone in one of the robes with long hair and in the background is a staircase -- I think it's just the way the camera caught the picture. But then again, why would someone take a picture like this behind the ceremony site and then actually post it?
Very strange indeed. Compliments of Harry? I wouldn't put it past him.

Edit to add: last night on PBS was a documentary made at the time of QEII's 60th year on the throne, and one of the video clips from the 90s seemed to show that Charles' hands were puffy even then.

So cute! Are they Cocker Spaniels?
Cavalier King Charles Spaniel or King Charles
What is difference between King Charles and Cavalier King Charles?
King Charles Spaniel - Wikipedia
The Cavalier is slightly larger, with a flat head and a longer nose, while the King Charles is smaller, with a domed head and a flat face. Historically the breeds that were merged into the King Charles Spaniel were used for hunting; due to their stature they were not well suited.

EXCLUSIVE: Charles's sorrow at Harry's disappearing act: How 'genuinely disappointed' King raised poignant toast to grandson Archie 'wherever you are' at post-Coronation buffet - despite Prince having already left
Daily Mail, May 7, 2023
The King raised a glass to toast the fourth birthday of Prince Harry’s son Archie at Buckingham Palace yesterday in a moving to tribute to the grandson he has barely seen.
Despite the ongoing acrimony with Harry, who was on a plane back to the US within hours of his father being crowned, emotional Charles made a point of mentioning his absent grandchildren as well as those present on his big day.
The poignant moment came at a private family gathering at the palace following his Westminster Abbey crowning and appearance on the balcony with Queen Camilla.
It is understood that an invitation had been politely extended to Harry to join the family lunch but he decided to return to California to celebrate Archie’s big day.
His wife, Meghan, stayed behind with their son and daughter Lilibet, and was said to be organising a small party for family and friends.
A well-placed source said that, while most members of the Royal Family ‘breathed a sigh of relief’ that Harry didn’t join them, the King, 74, seemed ‘genuinely quite disappointed that he didn’t stay’.

Prince William and Kate Middleton make surprise appearance after King Charles' coronation
King Charles III was honored by Prince William during his coronation ceremony on May 6
By Lauryn Overhultz | Fox News
Prince William and wife Kate Middleton made an unexpected appearance Sunday as they prepared for King Charles' coronation concert.
The Prince and Princess of Wales surprised a group of locals who had gathered for a Big Lunch – a street picnic intended to bring United Kingdom communities together in celebration.
Appearing at the Long Walk outside Windsor Castle, Kate wore a casual look. The princess paired a light blue blazer with a white top and black pants while William donned a navy blue suit.
Princess Kate's dressed-down look was completed with white sneakers.

Coronation style! Celebrity stylist MIRANDA HOLDER gives her verdict on the royal ensembles
Daily Mail, May 7, 2023
The Princess of Wales
Although Kate looked breathtakingly beautiful at the event, this was not really her moment to shine on the style front and she gracefully stepped back, allowing full focus to be on the newly crowned King and Queen.
Despite Kate’s demure approach, I can’t help but get excited about her honouring her favourite British designer who without fail gives us a masterclass in fashion in its purest original essence - as an artform - every time, wearing that glorious gown with such grace and beauty whilst always making it look effortless.
Kate fused ancient tradition with the modern world perfectly, keeping her signature style consistent even at the most momentous of occasions.
The ingenious bespoke headpiece, that stunning halo of silver leaves, which was another fashion Royal first, together with her simple but striking couture gown, topped with her patriotic garter robes made it a true fashion moment for Kate.

Zara Tindall
Zara looked as if she was off to a wedding, stepping out in a feminine pale blue coat dress with coordinating shoes, hat and bag.
The ensemble was more feminine and softer than many of Zara’s previous formal occasion looks and somehow felt very grown up.
Perhaps the Princess has finally settled on a ‘signature style’ - a style hack that has worked wonders for the late Queen, Camilla and of course Kate.

Queen Camilla
Camilla looked nervous but resplendent sitting beside her husband in the carriage, the first glimpse of her gown showed a white fabric embellished with silver embroidery, with her robe of state nestled over her shoulders.
The gold embroidery looking glorious against the ornate gold of the State carriage.. The neckline was the perfect depth to showcase the magnificent Coronation necklace which was made for Queen Victoria has been traditionally worn at every coronation by the Queen ever since.
The Queen looked nothing short of magnificent, the full length gown sitting perfectly on her frame, her added height being 5 ft 7 creating a vision that was positively statuesque.
The almost full length central pleat that extends down the front of the garment adding flattering elongation and just a little bit of drama.

Princess Eugenie
Eugenie, proudly nursing her ever-growing baby bump looked understated in head to toe navy, again opting for the ever-chic monochrome option.
The look, despite the smock dress, long coat and glittering diamonds felt a little severe, aged the Princess and on the fashion front left me cold.

That's a cheese and pickle sandwich, First Lady! Jill Biden inspects sarnie at Rishi Sunak's big lunch - as PM throws lavish Downing Street banquet (with £3,000 worth of crockery) to celebrate King's Coronation
Daily Mail, May 7, 2023
The beloved cheese and pickle sandwich is a core staple amongst many British picnics - and is bound to have played a starring role in the thousands of street parties that took place across the country today to celebrate King Charles' coronation.
A family favourite amongst many Britons, the sandwich made up of Branston Pickle spread on a white loaf with a hefty amount of cheddar, is loved by many, hated by few, including it seems the First Lady Jill Biden.
President Joe Biden's wife was today caught on camera looking less than impressed as she inspected the classic lunchtime meal at Prime Minister Rishi Sunak's coronation lunch today.
Mrs Biden seemed sceptical as she examined the British classic during the street party held at Downing Street earlier today.
The Sunaks laid out approximately £3,000 worth of Emma Bridgewater crockery for the First Lady and their other guests. Mr Sunak's wife, Akshata Murty, the heiress of an Indian billionaire, has an apparent fondness of luxury pottery. Last summer during the leadership race she served tea to waiting press in mugs sold for £38 each.
The celebration at No 10 is among the thousands of street parties being held across the country today as people gather together for the Coronation Big Lunch.

One big party for the new King! Millions of Brits hold Coronation lunches in honour of Charles with mile-long tables, paper crowns and streets decked in bunting (plus plenty of cakes and quiche)
Daily Mail, May 7, 2023
Millions of Brits are holding Coronation banquets across the UK in honour of King Charles III with mile-long tables, paper crowns and streets lined with bunting.
Royal fans across the country have shared pictures of British flag-decked tables as communities come together to honour the historic event with fancy cakes and quiches.
Guests have also filled Downing Street for the lunch, and there was a hum of excited chatter as those invited - including volunteers, Ukrainian refugees and youth group members - sipped fruit drinks and took photos in front of the famous Number 10 door as they awaited the arrival of Rishi Sunak.
The street was bedecked in Union flag bunting and music was being played by the RAF Northolt brass quintet. Mr Sunak and Akshata Murty are hosting the event as part of the Big Lunch celebrations taking place across the country over the coronation weekend.
Elsewhere, the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh have attended a big lunch in Cranleigh, the Princess Royal and Vice Admiral Sir Tim Laurence have joined a community street party in Swindon, and Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie are taking part in a big lunch in Windsor.

Those pics show her age. That's for sure.
Yes, she's 71, wrinkle lines come with age. With her $$ she could afford a facelift and some Botox, but I sure wouldn't want to go through all of that.

Such loyalty to the British Royals for so many to celebrate tradition.
In comparison it sure seems that we are losing our patriotism. I believe it's due to lack of faith in our government and for the huge influx of ILLEGALS who don't care to assimilate nor do they want to honor this country.

An American royal fan was filmed grabbing Kate by the hair as she leaned forward for a selfie before security stepped in to intervene.
The Prince and Princess of Wales surprised fans today with a walkabout to meet members of the public on the Long Walk near Windsor Castle ahead of tonight's Coronation concert.
A video shows one excited fan, who appears to be from the US, get her phone out and pull Kate in for a photo before gripping the back of the princess's hair.
The arm of a concerned security guard is then seen pushing the fan's hand away, while another draws closer to assess the situation.
A relaxed Kate appears unfazed by the physical contact as she smiles for the photo, before politely saying 'nice to meet you'.
The excitable fan squeals at the selfie and apologises to the security guard who moved her hand away.

The ones tossed over a fence probably came from a yard sale. He wouldn't dare get rid of his actual medals - he knew he was going into politics. For him to trot out the Purple Heart at the coronation is beyond disgusting. What do the other ones signify? How many houses his wife owns?

They can call her anything they want, she is still Queen Consort
Queen or queen consort? What to know about Camilla’s title
By SYLVIA HUI yesterday
LONDON (AP) — Now that she has been crowned alongside her husband, King Charles III’s wife is officially known as Queen Camilla.
While it sounds more official than “queen consort,” the changing of titles does not signify any practical difference in the role of the 75-year-old royal.
Queen consorts do not formally share the sovereign’s powers, and dropping the “consort” part of the title does not change that. Nonetheless, the change marks a milestone in Camilla’s decadeslong road to rehabilitating her image — from someone once reviled as the other woman in Charles’ first marriage to Princess Diana, to a senior royal member largely accepted by the British public.
The question of what title Camilla would hold when Charles became king has long been a subject of contention, due to sensitivity about her status as Charles’ second wife.
Camilla and her first husband, Andrew Parker-Bowles, divorced in 1995, shortly after Charles gave an explosive television interview admitting his relationship with Camilla. Charles and Diana divorced the following year. In 1997, there was a global outpouring of grief when Diana died in a car crash. Camilla and Charles waited until 2005 to marry in a low-key private civil ceremony.

Ok, so the Brits have for the most part gotten past the adultery of the two. I haven't really listened to her speak or read anything of real substance about her. Charles is a globalist and envirowhacko ....Meh ... just not interested in the two.
Unfortunately, William is an envirowhacko as well.
We shall see how much Britain will change under Charles. I miss the Queen.

Charles and Diana had been formally separated since 1992, divorced in 1996 and in 2005 Charles and Camilla had a very public marital blessing ceremony, with the queen front and center. Question never asked is: How different would the lives of all involved have been if Charles had been permitted to marry Camilla in 1972?

The love story is Charles's and Camilla's; the contract for an heir was Charles's and Diana's. Someone should have explained that to Diana, at some point along the line.

The coronation was an absolute triumph for the real royals — and a disaster for bitter Harry and Meghan
By Piers Morgan
May 8, 2023
Until Sunday night, the most powerful public statement that’s ever come out of Prince William’s mouth was the eight words: “No, we’re very much NOT a racist family.”
He spat those words out with a cold fury to the media after he was asked about his brother Harry and sister-in-law Meghan’s incendiary claims of royal racism in their Oprah whine-a-thon two years ago.
They are claims for which the Sussex moaners have never produced a shred of evidence, and which Harry recently, and preposterously, tried to say weren’t ever intended to imply any racism.
Since then, the Prince of Wales has maintained a dignified silence as Harry has repeatedly and shamefully trashed him, his wife, Catherine, his father, Charles, and his stepmother, Camilla, in a repugnant tell-all book and Netflix documentary series.
It won’t have been easy.
* * *
And what was Harry’s contribution to supporting his father?
The surly spoiled brat barely mumbled the oath when the congregation was invited to say it, and looked like he found singing the national anthem in tribute to his dad as pleasurable as sucking on a lemon soaked in Tabasco.
A lip reader later revealed that Harry spent most of his time during the service complaining to Jack Brooksbank, Princess Eugenie’s husband.
“I’m fed up with the way they treat me,” he apparently said at one stage, adding: “They don’t care.”
We don’t know whom he was talking about, but if it was his family, it was a laughably tone-deaf refrain given the way he and his wife have worked so tirelessly to embarrass, shame and cause damage to the royals and the monarchy.

Man, if you're a balding man, don't be skinny too. At least fat baldies like me can pull off the "tough guy" look.
-
Lip readers I think are questionable. I can see Harry grumbling and complaining. He did it to himself. He is no longer a working royal so he doesn't deserve any recognition nor apologies from his family because he and his wench trashed them on national TV and through a book.
I can't see any reason now why Harry needs to visit other than on his own will to apologize after Markle dumps him.
The rest of the family was very wise not to respond to him and not to engage him. All he would do is put how they mistreated him in his next book.
Both Markle and Harry are drama seekers and want people to think that they are above others. After all Harry is a prince as is his son and his daughter a princess. *****rollingeyes*****

It won’t have been easy.
No man would prefer standing back and saying nothing while his own sibling torches their whole family in such a disgusting manner.
Indeed, I’m reliably told that William has felt so incensed by Harry’s treachery, he didn’t trust himself not to physically remonstrate with him when they next found themselves in proximity.
But when that moment happened in Westminster Abbey on Saturday, William didn’t punch his little brother, or speak to him.
In fact, he didn’t even look at him, as Harry skulked inside like a naughty schoolboy and took his place three rows back from the main players, in the same royal Siberia as his disgraced uncle Prince Andrew.
Instead, William focused on his own hugely significant role at their father’s coronation, kneeling before King Charles to promise his allegiance as his heir to the throne: “I, William, Prince of Wales, pledge my loyalty to you, and faith and truth I will bear unto you, as your liege man of life and limb. So help me God.”

It's not exactly the hardest job in the world, but I credit William and Kate for giving it their full effort, and never acting as though they don't recognize how fortunate they are. They treat their roles with the respect they require.
Thought Harry and his combat service would have made given him a bit of humility, but it apparently didn't take.

What a fabulous picture and historic indeed. I wonder if Prince George understands and realizes who he is? He's pretty young I think to understand the full concept.

It may have been one of the biggest weeks of her life - but Kate Middleton proved her style is as down to earth as ever during the Coronation celebrations.
For rather than splashing out on expensive jewellery and multiple new designer outfits, the Princess of Wales, 41, opted to recycle a number of pieces she already had in her wardrobe for the high profile event this week.
The mother-of-three is known for her love of the high street and often chooses to rewear garments from previous engagements for royal events.
And this week was no different, with Kate opting to wear just £5,000 worth of new clothing.
Meanwhile her red, white and blue outfits appeared to be a subtle nod to the Union flag.

@mystery-ak Some really great pictures -- I like the very last one the best with Kate in the light blue dress with sheer sleeves.

Ya, well, it just goes to show you the expensive dresses don't look good on cheap women.

I think the fashion media are giving Jill props for wearing a dress she wore once before, but seriously? What a waste of $15K.

Let's hope William and Kate's youngest grows up to be a more worthy "spare" than his silly uncle Harry. Maybe he could learn from his great-uncle Edward how to become a responsible citizen, husband and father.

You're right it is exquisite!

Looks like an old lady doily, but at least it's consistent with her dresses that look like they're made from sofa upholstery fabric.

Why ‘angry’ Kate Middleton ‘refused’ to curtsy to Queen Camilla at coronation
By Jack Hobbs
May 17, 2023 12:13pm
Kate Middleton may want to add “Duchess of Disdain” to her already-long list of royal titles.
Royal biographer Tom Bower claimed that the Princess of Wales was “angry” with the newly crowned queen over the guest list for King Charles’ coronation on May 6 and refused to curtsey for the monarch as she left Westminster Abbey.
Appearing on “Dan Wootton Tonight” on Tuesday, Bower, 76, claimed that Middleton, 41, and her husband, Prince William, 40, were not happy because the princess was able to invite only four of her family members while Camilla, 75, had 20 people present.
The Post reached out to the Princess of Wales and Buckingham Palace for comment.
The author further revealed that the people who helped change Camilla’s image from the king’s mistress to queen were also snubbed from the high-profile event.

There may be some truth to this article, but I'm not buying all of it.

I tend to doubt the insinuations of this article. Too out of character in terms of public presence from what we've seen over the years.
-
I'm not fond of Camilla and I have also read reports that William refused to bow to her. I certainly can understand why.
The King and Queen Consort of England were crowned and it was a historical moment.
Time to get back to tending to our own country.

If William didn't bow and Katherine didn't curtsey, then it is almost certainly some abstruse part of royalty protocol that doesn't require them to give her deference. I doubt very much that it would be out of some sense of personal pique. Not that I think William and Kate don't get peeved, I just think that they're adult enough to know the difference between what can be displayed in public and what must be kept private.

Whether true or not, it makes me grateful that I don't live in that family/culture.

Bowing and having to curtsy to me is a bit much in the year 2023. While I admire all the traditions over the years, some I believe are a bit excessive. Though perhaps it is all the traditions that keep the Royals and the monarchy from falling apart.
Queen Elizabeth was an exemplary figurehead and leader. I'm not so sure Charles and Camilla share those qualities.
