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

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?

PMSL!

It's not a bloody rave in Ibiza. It's a Coronation of a Monarch FGS.

LOL! Indeed!

It's all a bit daft, really.

'Special' items to touch, a crown only worn for a few minutes, long cloaks held by boys, it's entertaining as long as you don't take it too seriously.

I think it would have been better if it was W&K being crowned. It’s all a bit lacking in glamour. Are they playing The Nutcracker? I wonder why?

£250 million quids and rising self-serving guff for the nation's pre-eminent tax dodging family. Thousands of protestors out though but being held back in Pall Mall - Vive La Republique ! Onwards to freedom !

It's a solemn religious ceremony predominantly one steeped In history and tradition its not a flipping circus act
What were people expecting

If he was grinning he’d look like a smug twat. It’s a serious religious ceremony and he’s looking appropriately serious.

I think C of E services are as dull as ditch water. Our pagan stuff is much more exciting. It's the same old tedious droning. I missed the ranting. I wonder what that was all about.

This rant though…can we have a link (or it didn’t happen)??!!

Penny’s ability to walk with a sword while singing both verses of the National anthem is quite impressive 😆

I don't 'get' royalty. It's amusing to watch but it's pretty weird.

What's the craic with Harry? Didn't see him at all.

I'm not sure why anyone expected it to be especially joyful.

It's a religious ceremony, not a party

I haven't seen it all, but poor Camilla getting out the carriage with her ladies trying to sort out her dress and cloak and keep it out of the puddles.....yikes, that was so undignified

Well, exactly.

I'm not sure why anyone is surprised, lol.

Harry was about 2 rows behind Kate s left shoulder, he was very rarely on camera, and looked robotic.

Hardly anybody there in the so-called crowds. Real shocker.

I saw a video of his entrance. He came in with his cousins Beatrice and Eugenie.

He looked in good spirits.

Don't know where he sat for the ceremony though.

Andrew also swished in looking full of himself and ridiculous.

He was sat behind Anne - who, accidentally and not purposefully I'm sure, was wearing a hat with big red feathers (?) which obscured Harry's face.

As I say, I'm sure that wasn't on purpose...

It just all looks so wrong - and they all look bored. What a waste of time and money.

Oh give it a rest FGS. Just switch off if you don't like it.

There is literally no one lining the streets.
