Prince Louis, as ever, the highlight for me. The memes are dropping already!

SoupDragon · 06/05/2023 14:41

I enjoy these "watch along" threads too. No one here is interested at all!

Who is the very beautiful Asian BBC presenter in the mustard outfit?

Love Louis' windscreen wiper waving

roarfeckingroarr · 06/05/2023 14:43

Thanks! She's fabulous

SunnyEgg · 06/05/2023 14:43

Enjoyed that 🙌

Really nice to have time out from usual politics etc on here

It's a ridiculous thing to get annoyed about.

I'm not annoyed about Clare Balding getting it wrong (although it's pretty poor of the BBC given that they have several hundred people working at BBC Cymru Wales who could have told her how to say it, not to mention Huw Edwards).

I did find it a bit annoying when a PP dismissed it - there is obviously a political/cultural implication of not bothering to use the preferred Welsh name. Not a great look for the national broadcaster covering a national event.

My DD has just said Camilla has a cigarette and a vodka waiting for her when she goes inside! I wouldn't blame her.

Probably not allowed to smoke inside the palace as it's a workplace! RubbishGin

Thats a bit harsh. When you have a massive falling out with your child it does feel like you've lost a child. Its bloody awful.

It doesn’t feel like your son has died though, so to say it feels like he has ‘lost’ a son straight after mentioning the passing of his parents is unfortunate. To most losing someone means that person dying. Harry has not died, and Charles does not feel like he has. Better to say that he may also be wishing they were not alienated, or that his son is not as present in his daily life as he used to be.

Yes, and nice comments on the whole - though that’s not the case on the other coronation threads.

The pattern on Camilla's dress and the cape make her look like she's wearing a backpack

They do! 😃

upinaballoon · 06/05/2023 14:45

This is out of time because it happened this morning, but one super thing was Antonio Pappano conducting while Pretty Yende sang, in that long time when people were drifting in.

I hope Harry felt comfortable out of the limelight and between Jack Brooksbank and Princess Alexandra.

I wouldn't mind a TV programme about the Royal School of Needlework, and a close look at Queen Camilla's dress. (No, I don't think they're lackeys who are forced to make clothes for the RF at the tax-payers' expense.)

In case I'm not back again, Thank you for your company everyone! Hope you all have a safe and enjoyable bank holiday weekend.

Ah thank you for the thread. It's been lovely to speak about it with you all 🇬🇧

Yiayoula · 06/05/2023 14:47

@Casuaala -thanks for starting The Unofficial Threads, and thanks everyone for your company .
Off to search out some of the documentaries mentioned upthread ! 👑👑🇬🇧

EachandEveryone · 06/05/2023 14:47

Why do people keep going on about Camilla being a fag ash Lil? I thought she gave up years ago.

SmurfHaribos · 06/05/2023 14:48

MeinKraft · 06/05/2023 14:39

Sad that Harry wasn't on the balcony.

He purposely stepped down from royal life as he didn’t want to be in the limelight.

MidgeHardcastle · 06/05/2023 14:48

Right. For the professionally offended I'll reword it and say he's MISSING all three of them. Now go and do something useful and stop looking for something to be negative about.

Jitterybugs · 06/05/2023 14:49

Great thread. Thanks everyone 👋🏻

Prince William saluting in the carriage as they passed the Princess Diana memorial.

Well no, not on that route.

SmurfHaribos · 06/05/2023 14:51
