I am indifferent to the Monarchy but AIBU to think it all feels very weird and drab?

[PipinwasAuntieMabelsdog]

Claire Balding's (love CB btw) is trying very hard to say how 'joyful' it feels and is a special day but it just doesn't seem like usual royal events to me. Just feels very flat. Maybe it's the greyish weather. AIBU?

Because most people have had such a hard time in this country over the past few years that it is hard to rejoice about some privileged, grumpy pensioner becoming king.

I liked the Queen.

The rest of them are uninspiring at best. Andrew is a disgrace and the Harry show has become really boring.

This coronation will be a non-event for many people.

Peaceful protests should also be allowed. Not liking the monarchy is not a crime...it is anti-democratic to try to silence people in this way.

It was on Twitter but I didn't copy the link
The carriage was still and he was ranting . I think William was late

Someone tried to say he was practising his lines lol but he had them held in front of him

It looked like a tantrum

Yes, I have very little interest in it which is surprising even to me 😂

I know it's probably not too soon after QE dying, but it feels too soon.
I was glued to the tv watching the funeral coverage and cannot fund any enthusiasm for this at all 🤷🏻‍♀️

Concert?

Brilliant 🤣
When he was handed 'the Bracelets of sincerity and wisdom' I thought I was watching Monty Python too

I did laugh when they brought out the glove. I also think it's a bit funny that the Arch Bish does half of his stuff facing the wall.

Yes exactly. He want this alright, he's just a grumpy seventy year old who is finding it all a bit much in reality.

*I'm sure I'll be quite grumpy too in my 70s but I'll try not to take it out in anyone else 😂

I’m just feeling a bit sorry for Penny Mordaunt her arms must be killing, love her outfit though : )

What’s happened to prince louis ? He was there earlier ?

I think they handed him the Holy Hand Grande at one point but swiftly took it back before he could lob it. (they called it an orb but didn't fool me).

I'm quiet enjoying it - I am no royalist and an atheist but I love history and was raised a choir singing high Anglican so I like the hymns and the pomp

Same here. The church is gorgeous!

Have you got a link?

Now that I would switch on the telly for… and a few Knights Who Say Ni…

I’ve spent the whole thing wondering if that is Penny Mordaunt, thank you for confirming!

Agree, her outfit is fabulous!

Louis is probably in a side room with a nanny? It's a very long service for a 5 yo.

I've been searching

It was on twitter

We couldn't hear what he saying but he looked v angry .
He had the ridiculous ( and offensive ) ermine robes on so it was today

Someone said W was late .

I think this occasion is supposed to be more solemn than joyful

Today? Omg.

Who was the brave Keeper of the Pen? Did they manage to avoid being scolded by Charles? He has a thing about pens…

She kept her old place so she could nip home for a crafty fag without being preached to or told off or photographed😁😁😁

I’d be interested to see this alleged video because I’ve watched the whole thing and didn’t see a rant. There was a pause - it looked like they were waiting for some steps.

It does feel unnecessarily long and there’s some odd traditions. I like a bit of pomp but I did think it would be a bit more contemporary. I don’t have issues with the king but I do have issues with the Church of England.

He's got it!!
Run!

😀😀😀

He looks totally miserable

At one point earlier it was like king buckeroo. They just keep piling more and more stuff on him.

Can't you share a link then? I searched and couldn't find anything
