Coronation Watch-Along II

[Casuaala]

Carry on.

Thread one:

i suspect a lot of us nip to the loo when Justin gets going. Music has been fabulous. Going to listen again at leisure on Radio 3

Me too! There hasn't been a convenient time.

Proper made me laugh

Earl of Wessex is so handsome young man. He’s grown since his last public appearance on his grandmother’s funeral. But he barely ever smiles.

He’s not on the BBC feed as Netflix have exclusive rights.

Poor Penny, once the sword had been presented you'd really think she could have put it down and had a seat.

Everyone slagging off Camilla, have you considered that Diana was the other woman and Charles and Camilla have loved each other for years and long before his arranged marriage to Diana came about? Imagine being essentially forced to marry someone you don't love by your family. It's not so black and white.

Me too!!

Who is Penny? I know she's the one with the sword but who is she in real life?

From what I understand, Camilla was always the love of KC's life but they wouldn’t let them be married.
KC had to marry a virgin to produce heir and spare, which is where Diana came in. That is how these things go, and people have their love affairs separately from their pretty much arranged marriages.
So, in a way, Diana was the OW..(ducks)

Looked on the Beeb news and they think about 1pm

Ah ok, thank you.

I'm still in my nightie!

I think it was supposed to be around 2 hours

YES!!!!

Lol. Fair enough! 😂

Not much now, we are on page 42 of 50 and the last few pages are closers so only about three pages to go!

Can you do seperate thread for camilla v Diana please

Penny Mordaunt - Tory MP and former leadership contender (ran against Liz Truss)

Well documented by whom? Diana said there were always 3 people in the marriage and any woman knows a quick shag is not as devastating or disloyal as an emotional love affair.

She was done dirty. However I do not agree with the way she reacted to it.

Exactly. It wasn't meant as a diktat that she remain so. That's Charles decision

Anyone else incredibly impressed with Penny Mordant holding that sword for so long!

I also love her outfit, keeps the official fern pattern but modern, and love the colour.

Penny Morduant, MP. Leader of the house. And head of the privy council maybe

The service is here ifyou want to see how much more to get through...
