Did anyone notice willam...

[40thmonarch]

Looking a little uptight and exasperated when the collar is put on Charles and then the cloak? I didn't notice at the time but on sky re run I can see William looking uncomfortable and even impatient??

They obviously can't. I would've thought that was obvious surely. You're just being silly 😂

I am talking about broadcasters unhappy at having to condense the funeral of QEII into one hour for any streaming. Maybe read the article? It doesn't mention your house that I can see!

There are some really bizarre and spiteful comments on this thread as well as loads of stuff that's either a massive stretch or plain manufactured.

Whatever you think of an institutional monarchy or the individuals involved in this one, they're all human with emotions and the fear of stuffing up on the world stage as this was televised live and recorded for history.

Everyone would have been a bag of nerves, concerned that no one stumbled, dropped anything, got the words mixed up, or that the crowns might slip or tumble off. The stress of all that must have been utterly overwhelming, no matter how many times they rehearsed, not to mention security concerns for everyone taking part.

For Charles it would also have been mixed emotions, memories of his mother and grandparents and that they are the only people who would have known what it's like to go through this process, and the realisation of how enormous an event it was.

As for kissing, hugging and warmth. It can't have been the easiest thing to stoop and kiss the cheek of someone sitting balancing a crown on their head. You can find plenty of photos of the royals kissing in greeting. Try Charles and Zara for some good, public examples.

This was the event that formalised the change over from 70 years of someone else being centre stage. The first occasion where Charles was the figurehead, and the day must've been a terrific strain. I imagine they all found it tiring, overwhelming and ultimately were massively relieved that it all went off ok, not only for the family, but for everyone involved in organising and working to make it all come together. I just can't fathom why people want to nit pick over that.

Very few people have video recorders these days. Like me they rely on streaming.

There's plenty on the internet of Charles supposedly getting angry while in the carriage, of William not looking at his father while making his allegiance etc etc etc, so plenty of people seem to have recorded the event.

There's all sorts of footage denigrating the RF behaviour at various events (usually very creatively cut).

So why do you think there's no footage of Kate 'sniggering' at the gospel choir?

The haters would be gloating and tweeting such footage at every opportunity. Yet there's nothing.

Despite the obvious reason being that there was no sniggering, people are trying to turn it into a conspiracy of some sort.

They can hardly hide footage of William swearing allegiance.
Kate was presumably just a crowd shot, easy to delete.

You're really stretching the bounds of credibility there

I recorded the whole thing live. I can see Kate smiling during the gospel singing and clearly enjoying it. I can’t see her sniggering or smirking - because IT DIDN’T HAPPEN, NOT because a member of the royal household has snuck in and edited my recorded footage.

Interestingly I do have a close friend in the royal household but they don’t have keys to my house and I haven’t actually left my house since Friday night so I think my recording is safe….

My point is I can't find a clip of Kate smiling during the gospel singing. When I search for clips that has been cut. I wanted to judge it for myself.

I saw it. I noticed it because she had a small smile just like mine, because I enjoyed the performance so much and hadn't expected it. It may not show in the highlights because it was a crowd shot right after the performance ended. I thought "she enjoyed it too."

Give over. Kate always behaves impeccably. It's almost as though the Sussex fans have to make stuff up about Kate being badly behaved just because they did not behave properly in church.

Give over sidekicks with your made up scenarios. Just post a clip of what is being talked about and we can make up our own mind.

Hear hear @martinisforeveryone the frothing and over-active imaginations on these RF is both baffling and amusing.

I saw it too. Kate was smiling, she looked like she was genuinely enjoying herself, just like I was when I the gospel singers performed. I think if you check the live footage from bbc, or itv or the royal family channel on YouTube you’ll be able to see it too.

Here you go, as you said a crowd shot right after they finish. She's smiling

I can already see the next line of attack. William wasn’t smiling (he looked lost in thought like he was thinking of something else), therefore he must be racist. Kate was smiling, therefore she was sneering/smirking and therefore is racist.

@StatisticallyChallenged thanks, can you post a link to the video. I hate stills as they really show nothing.

So why do you think there's no footage of Kate 'sniggering' at the gospel choir?

Because there isn't any? The 'haters' as you call us... aren't one humungous blob all thinking the same.

I am sure the sniggering at H&M's wedding will have seeped through as bad publicity, no one would dare do it again.

The sniggering at the wedding was real. And it did look racist.

Right at the end, about 2.26. She's just smiling.

It was Bea and Eugenie and Zara and Mike who were sniggering. All people whom Harry and Meghan rate highly. It was not Kate and William.

There is no footage of Catherine “sniggering” because she didn’t. Is that so hard to understand?

What in god's name has Harry to do with this? Surely we can have one thread not blaming him for something. Just one. That's all I ask.

I imagine it was all his fault for just being there and breathing.

I agree that it is nice to have a thread without them being mentioned. Shall we stop
mentioning Harry then?

You are posting to me like I brought him up.

I didn't.

I asked for us to have one thread without him being mentioned.

Yes. Stop. That was my message.

I know Harry blamed again. He is such the scapegoat for all family tensions and family behaviours.
