The royal family

The lack of enthusiasm for the Coronation

I know this is shallow but I think part of the reason why people aren't enthusiastic about Charles’ coronation is that neither he nor Camilla have movie star good looks plus they're both in their 70s. I bet if both were in their 30s or even 40s, and Charles looked like Pierce Brosnan and Camilla looked like Angelina Jolie, they would have the world fawning over them and their Coronation.

There is a large crowd of protesters in Pall Mall being blocked from joining the rest of the protest in Trafalgar

The arrests and protests are what is making the news internationally

Yes, here it is

I doubt they've all paid their way to be fair. But in any case thought they'd all been arrested? Almost as if that's not the case unlike what some posters want the narrative to be.

I mean it's their jobs and they're well trained and well versed in it. I did a fair few ceremonial duties during my time in the military and its nothing out of the ordinary to stand around for hours. Rain is far easier than the heat.

Why don't you stick to your fawning thread?

Princess Charlotte in Alexander McQueen. Ye gods!

I wanna get excited seeing Charles and Camilla in that gold and black coach, I really do, but all I keep thinking about is how much I'm looking forward to seeing the William, Kate and their kids.

Looking forward to another £300 million pounds of tax payers money being spent. Yes I am really looking forward to that.

MidnightMeltdown · 06/05/2023 13:21

I think it's more that Charles and Camilla don't have the same love and respect that the Queen had.

However, you're missing the best thing about all of this - the extra bank holiday

I thought it was Bruce Oldfield?

You and vera are very keen to chase anyone who disagrees out of your echo chamber - why is that?

That's what the commentator (can't remember her name) said. Then she corrected herself about 10 minutes later. And said it was Alexander McQueen

Maybe you'd enjoy it more elsewhere.

Blossomtoes · 06/05/2023 13:51

Not at all. Watching all the frothing is immensely entertaining.

Sudeko · 06/05/2023 13:52

Nicholas Soames promised that we would all be on a high and totally carried away by the occasion. I'm still waiting, mate.

Oi I've welcomed you with Christian charity early on in the day 😀. At 2.30 the balcony money shot will be crucial if they can't half fill the Mall then it’s time to consider ending the show.

Beautiful scene from 'The Entertainer' - Larry Olivier at his best.

An ex lover of former Tory MP Nicholas Soames: Sex with Nicholas was like having a very large wardrobe with a very small key falling on top of you.

Oh god, I had a bf like that a long time ago. And the key disappeared 😂

The Mall’s full.

Are you there?

No. I’m on my sofa, it’s just been on my TV screen.

Are you feeling OK?

Who are 'they'? What nonsense are they pedalling?
Why are you coming on a thread to insult people and call them names like saddos just because they have a different opinion to you?
Not very nice is it?
