King Charles coronation

Just as an aside, I wonder when we will start to just refer to 'the King and Queen' rather that 'King Charles and the Queen Consort'.

Parental love is unconditional, whatever mistakes and poor choices have been made. You can love someone and still disagree with what they’ve said or done.
Why should he exclude his son for what seems to be a (sadly very public) breakdown? The only way to change the way his royal household is run, is to run it with compassion from now onwards.

Can’t anyone leave it alone constantly scratching the scab if you don’t like them ignore them how much more do you want to keep pick pick pick How many more threads ….
radio Tv Gransnet constant churning it over and over
It’s boring, it achieves nothing but constant advertising them ,,.ignore them if you don’t like them

I m sick and tired of all the new threads every time they fart

Bluebell this is history in the making. It interests people to see how the Royal Family really is just like any other.
See how we look back on other Royal happenings throughout the years. Way back in time coming right up to present day Hoo ha’s! Abdications, divorces, court cases, secret affairs and secret children, fallings out and stories leaked. It’s all there in the history books and our descendants will be reading about this in years/centuries to come.

I agree with Gingster, there is some fascinating curiosity in watching history in the making, that's why there is so much written about say The Windsors, Marie-Antoinette, Russian Tzars etc - all with their juicy scandals. I've just visited Vienna and read up loads on 'beauty queen’ Empress Elisabeth of Austria and Queen of Hungary. How is that pick, pick, picking at scabs? It isn't boring to some, so live and let live.

For what it's worth I think King Charles will be right to invite Harry & Meghan to his Coronation, and he can certainly rely on all his family to act with a sense of decorum on the big day.

It’s correct to invite them, wether they will both come is questionable, Meghan is going to face open hostility from the family as well as the public now. The sort of hostility that you would get in any family when someone has caused an upset, we see them in these pages every week.

So, this is not really about "King-Charles-coronation", is it?

Just another angle on the continuing soap-opera about M&H.

I wonder if it will run as long as Coronation Street?

OP - I'm guessing Charles, who appears fairly rational (in spite of the fact that he admitted "talking" to his plants) and compos mentis, has given the matter considerable thought. And is probably aware of the possible consequences of his decision.

One thing for sure... their visit (or the decline of the invitation) will provide material for the next instalment of the M&H saga.

Of course, Dickens, and no doubt has consulted with his darling wife!! Yet more intrigue?

Such a pity that Shakespeare isn’t still alive. He would make a brilliant history play out of all of this.

Similar scenarios play out in families all around the world, it often goes with the territory, his leaving the door ajar will resonate with many a parent who find themselves in conflict with their offspring in the hope that differences at some time in the future can be resolved. It demonstrates his love for Harry overrides personal hurt.

Exactly this

Well M and H may be irritating and silly, but they are correct in that they are being hounded by the press. What's the betting that if they come, their pics will be all over the papers and gossip about what they are wearing , every glance they make or don't make will be scrutinised and analysed and meanings will be made up and endlessly discussed. If the press left them alone and they didn't make the front pages then there wouldn't be people expressing their outrage about them stealing the limelight and other rubbish. The papers have only got to avoid them and then there wouldn't be all the poison. Give it a rest, but they won't as they sell papers and people lap all the gossip up as is evidenced on here.

They are invited because our King is going to behave in a dignified manner and because he loves his son.

It’s amazing how Camilla was once one of the worlds most hated women and is now warmly accepted by the British public.
Unlike MM she quietly and calmly got on with her role and never blabbed to the press, moaned or decided the world needed to know her side of the story.

Her dignified silence was her saving grace.

MM could learn a lot from her.

👏 👏 👏 Sago

Could Camilla learn how not to consort with sad middle aged men who hate younger women?

IMO he could not possibly not invite him.

And, of course, it would be a good tactic anyway because it puts the ball firmly in Harry's court.

Surely an invitation to his own Coronation is not in Charles’s gift, as the Duke of Norfolk will be in charge of every aspect will he not?
Charles will be obliged to abide by rules, protocol, precedent perhaps, imperatives, despite speculation that the ceremony will be more streamlined and shorter.
The Queen was devout and took her religious responsibilities seriously.
Charles as we know was an adulterer : the question of his being anointed with sacred Holy Oil is a sticky one.

I just want Louis to be there

OxfordGran here's the invitation to HM Queen Elizabeth II's coronation.
It says By Command of the Queen but of course, strict protocol is followed.

consort is a bit strong
Being at the same party as someone is not exactly consorting.

If adultery ruled out kings and queens we would be a republic

Me too! He'll inject some fun.

Oh, OK then.

Sorry about this Callistemon, I don't think you were involved.

But we had a big discussion about how the Queen was actually, personally the source of everything that says "issued on behalf of the Queen".

But she's not responsible for invitations that say "by command of the Queen".

My head may explode with the effort of keeping two diametrically opposite opinions in there at the same time.

Here we go.
