Invitations are out! And new photo of the King and Queen

[Cokefans]

Loving the invitation! So colourful and very appropriate for springtime. Great photo too - hope they are getting excited for the big day 😃

It’s made me all nostalgic for 80s kitsch. I feel the Green Man should have been a gonk, and that the invitation should have been made of that edible paper. There should be deelyboppers on the birds…

George may be the type to hand the batton on to Charlotte who seems more comfortable with the public.

Love the invite.

Photo: hmm. Charles looks awkward and - does he have a lazy eye?- his right eye seems to be looking past the photographer.

@Andylion Yes-he was 4 so it was really appropriate!

I'm not sure about the colour palette on the invitation

I thought the same - it puts me in mind of those cheap, highly coloured birthday party versions which come in a tear-off pad:

I love the invitation, it's beautiful. It's very reflective of his long-standing interest in the countryside and nature (I'm not his number one fan but he was years ahead of his time in this regard).
I think the use of the Green Man is lovely - on the TV this morning Kate Garraway referred to it as a 'cabbagey thing at the bottom'! 🙄

I thought his suit looked slightly too big.

Perhaps he's losing weight before his Big Day?

@vera99 gorgeous, treat yourself! 😂😂

So pleased the Green Man is on there

The invitation is beautiful, especially with the green man and sweet hidden messages. Not fond of them, the hand in pocket thing is because his fingers have become a meme.

I just got an email with the invitation attached and a note "Please just photocopy and give to friends. We are desperately trying to fill seats!" That said I was hoping for an invitation to the evening do with top booze and nosh but looks like no can do.

😁

Is it plus one @vera99

I'd join you but now it's revealed there will be no silk breeches, I'll have to decline

So pretty. I love how ornate it is, like an illustrated manuscript

Sorry @Roussette you would definitely be on my list. I'm considering Republican canary yellow topped off with a ridiculous hat - stuffed with cash like the Mad Hatter to see how irony goes down on the day.

The strangest thing, this coronation.

Not much difference in height between 13/14/15yr olds. Yet Edward's son is not coming. Whatever happened to 'working royals', yadayada...........

Also, not clear why in this day and age, it has to be only boys.

I guess the whole point is trying to welcome a new era away from HMQE. But if that's the case it's supposed to be the Wales, not the Parker Bowles in prominence.
And what is the explanation for Rose's children being included, anyway?

Oh well, I guess 'Hail the new era of the Parker Bowles'??? 🙇

Edward's son is a different generation in the RF, so that might be the reason why not.

I haven't seen any explanation for the choices of the 3 Pages who are not descendants. Has anyone? Are they godchildren?

Girls/young women are Maids Of Honour, but apparently Camilla isn't having any (none announced yet, anyhow)

I thought so too. It's their little show of COL hardship - to relate to the masses so we ignore the millions being spent

Thought the same.

It's still beautiful but in a 'my 8 year old artist drew this' way.

No, no explanation.

So you think Charles is godfather to Rose' children. I don't even see the generational link either.

One of them is Camilla' sister grandson, which sounds even more removed than Camilla's grandchildren as it is.

Except for George, these kids have nothing to do with the Wales.

@vera99 I like Sophie but the hat is a horror!

I know this isn't the point ... but I feel a bit sorry for Charles being embarrassed about his hands, just goes to show we're all human and have insecurities!

Hate the Queen bit she isn't a queen
