Probably desparate for a cig!

She gave them up years ago I believe but not the gin. Oh no not the gin!

Lol

I like Camilla’s focus on anti-violence against women and girls. Great that someone in such a public role isn’t trying to sanitize and ignore male violence.

I can’t imagine either of them really wanting to be at the centre of the public side of the job today but it all went off really smoothly and is done. Now hopefully they can all drink a big gin and think about what they will do next with their roles. I think they’ll do fine.

I’m happy that the Church service oaths prioritised Charles promising to ‘serve’. I felt like the previous Queen was an excellent reminder of non-political duty to the public, to the powers that be, at the time when Boris Johnson was taking the piss out of us all over Covid etc. Probably for the first time I felt relieved and happy that the UK still has a monarchy. So hopefully he will represent continuity in a good way.

Camilla was loving it
Charles could of smiled it was his day
Don't think it's right her being queen

She’s criticised whatever she does. She smiles means she’s “loving it”, if she wasn’t smiling she’d be called miserable. She can’t win.

KenAdams · 06/05/2023 16:47

Eh no she isn't. She looks bloody terrified.

PatchworkElmer · 06/05/2023 16:56

I thought she looked scared.

MaisieDaisyMay · 06/05/2023 17:08

I thought she looked terrified! (& I don't blame her)

she did look or sound bossy at all.

Trinity65sTiara · 06/05/2023 17:16

What?

I am neither a Camilla liker or hater, indifferent really, but this is bizarre.
She looked nervous and timid if anything, not bossy or show stealing.

Kangarude · 06/05/2023 17:17

What did she do that made you think she was being bossy? Confused

spottybug · 06/05/2023 17:19

How on earth was she overshadowing him? The day was about him!

I don't think she was loving it. She looked mortified by the whole thing in my opinion

This ^^

You are completely away with the fairies OP.

newnamethanks · 06/05/2023 18:38

Yes, did you see when she shoved Charles out of the way grabbed the crown out of the Archbishop's hands and jammed it on her head before legging it up the aisle to sit on the throne shouting 'It's all about ME, it's MY day'? You didn't? Nobody else did either.

BeverlyHa · 06/05/2023 18:40

This is why he did what he did to Diana. He was very much in her feet, let him have her as she is. I actually liked her dress and her faint smile here and there in the Abbey. Nice lady.

slowquickstep · 06/05/2023 18:42

I think she looked petrified today

UndercoverCop · 06/05/2023 18:44

There were points today where I wondered where she'd gone, she was very much in the background and looked quite uncomfortable with it all.
Diana in the other hand I imagine would've taken it all in her stride and the press would've made it about her.

Justcallmebebes · 06/05/2023 18:58

She really is not

newnamethanks · 06/05/2023 19:07

I felt sorry for them, they both looked a bit worn out and as if they'd rather be somewhere else. I reckon Camilla's earned it, I doubt he's an easy man to be with.

dontgobaconmyheart · 06/05/2023 19:10

Is that you Harry?

ichundich · 06/05/2023 19:12

Poor little king 🙄.

SophieJo · 06/05/2023 19:16

There have been some really ridiculous posts today and this is one of them.

Good lord. Stuff like this really brings out the bats from the belfry.

Love this 🤣
I'm getting fed up with all these stupid posts and it's just as bad on Facebook
