Coronation Watch-Along

[Casuaala]

Is anyone else watching alone and fancying a thread to chat about the coverage?

I wasn't planning on watching every moment of this but I've been glued to the tv since 7.30 and I'm now contemplating taking the iPad with me while I have a quick wee just so I don't miss anything

How long does penny morduant need to hold that sword for?

Must be boiling in those robes

The throne is looking a bit old

Camilla looks dead awkward just like when Charles got annoyed about the pen and she was dithering about in the background

Penny might take the sword home with her !

I'd be like “oh shit I forgot my reading glasses again”.

Looks mouldy AF

Those robes must be so heavy , imagine having to contend with that as well as everything else !

This must be so hard. You've been bought up knowing this time would come, you've been readied for it, but the person you'd most love to be there has to die for you to get to this day. I'd def want my mummy 😞

His hands look swollen

Penny Mordant is Lord President in Council according to Dp who is my ceremonial adviser today.

She must have had to do plenty weights in the last few months.

I'm taking the ipad everywhere! Don't want to miss anything

I'm glad I'm not holding that sword up for so long...

I’m like that. What if someone faints, what if a wheel falls off, what if Penny drops that sword on his neck?

Does anyone else think that King Charles is wearing some makeup?

This is all so beautifully done and I feel genuinely happy for them. Feel quite emotional watching it actually. I think that Charles is such a quietly insightful man- he was talking about climate change and environmental issues decades ago and was dismissed as a bit fanciful, but he was right.

King Charles looks completely overwhelmed by the whole thing.

Faithful!!

I do love the Princess Kate is wearing Diana's earrings. That's a nice nod to her.

🤣🤣

Welby’s robes don’t fit properly

It’s all the old gold gilt, was originally very fancy

@Bestdrinkever maybe some anti sweat stuff??

She got a little rest thing to help
