Camilla's grandchildren to take star role in the coronation

[Viviennemary]

The DM is reporting this (who else). Apprently Camilla's grandchildren are to play a prominent role in the coronation alongside the other heirs. Not sure I agree with this. Although I quite like Camila now although I didn't used to.

It’s quite common in those circles.

Andrew Parker Bowles is Zara’s godfather

What's to stop your dh's children taking precedence but your children also being involved ?
Also, if your (2nd ) marriage was preceded by an affair between you, this can colour peoples judgements and the likelihood of criticism increases.

No one has any issue with Camilla's grandchildren being involved. It is the freezing out of Charles's grandchildren and son alongside her grandchildren children being involved.
Why not invite Archie for example to have a small part on his birthday?
Because Charles does not give a shit about Archie, that is why.

There’s a huge difference between involving teenagers and a 4 year old.

No-one seems to have an issue with the fact George is guaranteed to be involved but his younger siblings are maybes.

🙈 I think Princess Anne and APB had a romance at one stage as well.

Honestly, it’s mind boggling.

Yep.

Its all very interlinked.

They all get along together as a sort of extended family. It's not weird in those circles. I think if Diana had not died when she did that she would have remarried and continued to mix in similar circles so that now in her 60s we'd see similar photos at races, family occasions and social events where everyone is together and able to get along.

Photos with Anne, Zara and Andrew PB, and then Anne, Charles, Camilla and Andrew PB.

I had assumed Charlotte at least would be involved?

It is pretty incestuous. It is why they need every so often an injection of non aristocracy genes.

Only George is being considered to be involved. W&K feel Charlotte is still too young. According to press reports.

Will have to wait and see. QEII wasn't involved in her father's Coronation and she was a similar age to Charlotte - and his ceremony was 3hrs compared to Charles’s planned 1hr.

I would assume Charlotte would have some role, just as she attended HMQs funeral. But I'd doubt Lewis or Harry's kids would be involved.

But they maybe can't find a suitable role for her other than looking like George's spare.
Charles (age 4) himself wasn't involved at the Queens Coronation he was in the congregation with the Queen Mother and Ann, I can't remember if Queen Mary was in the photos too.

Queen Mary died a couple of months before the coronation.

she’d left strict instructions it wasn’t to be cancelled in the event of her death.

Previous coronations have certainly included pages, which can of course be quite young boys. But I don't think there's a parallel role which can be carried out by girls (female attendants that I can recall are all adult-size)

Perhaps they'll create something for her?

I think below school age is definitely to young, and with an actual role probably considerably older. Processing up the aisle and sitting with her mother might be possible?

Otherwise George only, and the rest on the balcony
