I do love how much pride everyone involved has taken

Camilla’s hair was fine after she reappeared when the crown had been removed. I wonder if her lady in waiting had a comb and a mini can of elnette in her dress pocket and gave it a quick back comb and spray.

Not going to lie...I'm not getting much done today!

It's not aganst QEII's wishes at all - on the contrary, she made it known she wished Camilla to be Queen Consort (as her own mother was), to end all the 'Camilla will not be known as Queen' stuff.

Kudos to everyone in the Abbey - have cracked and had a loo break

Penny is like that lad who carried queen's coffin.

She's done anything abosulty incredible job

Waitingfortaco · 06/05/2023 12:30

QEII's announcement that Camilla would be Queen Consort was to acknowledge that she was happy with her been Queen rather than Princess Consort as had been the original plan.

I'm late to the thread, and unaware of royal protocol, but where's Harry? Was he supposed to be a part of this?

Love the little smile between Charlotte and Kate!

More of a knowing smirk as to what has happened with Louis and closing up to avoid an obvious gap.

This warm and funny thread is now going to be derailed by anti-Camilla/pro-Diana comments :-(

Because some people just can't let go of the past nor acknowledge Diana cheated first

He's there. Sitting with the tindalls, and the Yorks.

Guineasrule , I was just wondering if the HRHs are mentally high-fiving each other right now !
Hope they have a long and happy reign, and a great party tonight.

SoupDragon · 06/05/2023 12:31

Penny's hair looked immaculate from the back earlier. I was very impressed.

TheCreamTeaWasFromMe · 06/05/2023 12:29

I agree. I also think he can't win. If he smiled during the "solemn bits" then he'd be pulled apart for grinning away and not respecting the occasion. But because he's keeping a straight face he's accused of being miserable. I think he's nervous and probably a bit overwhelmed by the fact that this is finally happening. It must also be quite poignant for him given that he's officially replaced his Mum now.

He officially replaced the queen the second she died - there was no break in the monarchy

I found this info online about Penny Mordaunt's dress:

She told POLITICO in an interview that she “felt it wasn’t right” to wear the customary black-and-gold court dress of the privy council sported by the Marquess of Salisbury when he did the job for Queen Elizabeth II in 1953, and wanted “to come up with something that is modern and will give a firm nod to the heritage” of the occasion.
Mordaunt has commissioned a dress stitched with the fern motif of the privy council which has been adapted and “feminized” by specialist atelier Hand and Lock, whose embroiderers have been working overtime changing all the cyphers on uniforms ahead of Saturday.

It's gorgeous. It's clearly not formal "robes" but it fits in well as a day dress.

I think it's fair to say he looks tired. Of course he will look solemn (& 70!) but he looks tired & uncomfortable/ ( uneasy?) in places. Of course it can't be easy with 'the world' watching you.

MrsFinkelstein · 06/05/2023 12:31

It's been great to watch, but I'm still disappointed in the lack of tiaras and Ducal coronets.

I wanted all the bling.

floraflo · 06/05/2023 12:31

Does anyone know how much longer the service goes on for?

He's in the congregation, which I imagine would have been his role however the last few years worked out.
