Well, this has exceeded my expectations. I've loved the music and symbolism.

And, yes, nice to see some smiles from Camilla, Catherine and Charlotte.

Given Louis' track record he has probably manged to get into the back room for a quick grandad cuddle.

Ignore the baiters.

I don’t think Camilla should be queen (queen consort, fine)

What do you mean? She's being treated the same as any other queen consort. This is the role of queen consort.

Queen Elizabeth’s wishes were that Camilla would remain queen consort, not be crowned queen. Charles went against that after she died.

What a magnificent building

the80sweregreat · 06/05/2023 12:25

Camilla's Royal bit was a bit of an 'after thought!'

WeWereInParis · 06/05/2023 12:25

KC has dropped the consort bit? she is Queen

Yes but that is standard. That's what Queen consorts are called. The queen mother was called queen Elizabeth, not queen consort.

Love the little smile between Charlotte and Kate!

Such a lovely smile between them.

In days gone by the rest of the royals would have donned their Ducal crowns at the same moment as the King was crowned. I wonder if they even still exist.

That'll be a Google rabbit hole for this afternoon!

Oh yeah! There's footage of that from the last coronation

Charles looks miserable as sun. Hasn’t once cracked a smile. Not like when his mother was crowned she was all smiles. This is depressing to watch .

Show quote history

Moved, solemn and sincere, surely?. This is a major and public commitment. He will no doubt relax and smile afterwards

RhubarbFairy · 06/05/2023 12:25

Louis has been whisked away somewhere.

Diana should never have been his wife at all. He loved Camilla before either of them were married, but the match was opposed by HMQ and others as she wasn't of the right pedigree. She was always meant for this role. Diana should never have been involved.

Who are the two women in white with Camilla?

KrasiTime · 06/05/2023 12:25

Do people not know any history? Queen consorts also get crowned.

Waitingfortaco · 06/05/2023 12:25

She is Queen Consort. In the same way the Queen Mother was Queen Consort but was titled Queen.

Someone needs to read up on Queens Regnant vs Queens Consort…

Queen consorts are crowned queen.

Oh grow up. Diana cheated many times on KC herself. She wasn't innocent.

Show quote history

Is it still cheating when your husband has effectively already dissolved the marriage with ongoing non-repentant adultery?

I think it not the same somehow.

TheFluffiestHobo · 06/05/2023 12:26

HamptonCaught · 06/05/2023 12:16

Why is Camilla smiling? Not appropriate.

She's the most successful ow in history. Let her have her moment.

TheCreamTeaWasFromMe · 06/05/2023 12:26

HamptonCaught · 06/05/2023 12:23

Indeed. If Camilla came on the scene after the divorce, fine. But they were cheating while he was still married, so it’s a bit grubby.

Show quote history

But that was years ago. Life moves on, and to keep clinging to what happened decades previously is unhealthy and counterproductive.

But then I'm not a fan of endlessly rehashing the past. If I was into that then I'd listen to Adele.

Screwedupworld · 06/05/2023 12:26

the ladies with Camilla are her sister and old friend

They usually appear together as a group of three on the moors in Scotland.

Show quote history

Rubbish - she is a queen consort as she is married to the king. She isn't queen regnant. Both traditionally called Queen (their name)

LyndaSnellsSniff · 06/05/2023 12:26

I thought Camilla looked absolutely radiant as the crown was lowered into her head. So many emotions, I imagine. They both look so much more relaxed now.
