The Coronation of Charles 111

Camilla wasn’t crowned as a monarch , her charities were spoken of in the concert and William addressed them both .

Mollygo we know zero!
My feeling is that some people will take their cues- rightly or not - from perceptions of how Royalty behaves. Sometimes I think there’s a lot of emotional intelligence lacking in the way the Royal Family is portrayed in the mass media. But then perhaps emotional intelligence isn’t a priority for them?

It looked to me as if the Princess of Wales had two different dresses. In the Abbey her dress had a round neck and in the official group photo a v neck. The v neck looked lovely with the special necklace. Also the Queen was wearing the traditional 'coronation necklace' (of huge diamonds) which looked good with her gorgeous gown.

You are most welcome to copy the post, Sparklefizz. I'm glad people have found it interesting.

Thank you.

I don’t know whether to laugh or dispair at Adjoa Andoh (of Bridgerton fame) stating the bleeding’ obvious by commenting on the ‘terribly white’ balcony, referring to ‘all the young people.’

Seeing as they all have white parents and the only mixed race member of the RF has turned her back on the UK, I fail to see what she’s getting at.

There are a couple of mixed race children in the RF but nobody’s allowed to see them. 🤔🤔

The Duchess of Sussex was invited to the Coronation but chose not to come.
Whether the children were invited I don't not know as they are very young to attend such a long and solemn occasion.

An olive branch was held out but not accepted.

I don't understand what Adjoa Andoh is getting at?

If a white bride and groom threw a reception for a large number of diverse guests, and asked their siblings and offspring act as best man and bridesmaids to support them, why would anyone comment that the top table was "terribly white"?

With mother of the bride welcomed too.

Wielding a wooden spoon.

accusing the royal family of being racist ?

I meant to put that in quotes.

It's not as though Charles could select any members of his own family to make the balcony less terribly white, because he hasn't got any.
Or none who are willing to support him.

Well the coronation ceremony couldn't have been more diverse and invlusive.Charles can't win.He can hardly change his immediate family that were their on the day can he ?!

We need some more arranged marriages for the younger Royals now.

Who's likely to get married next? Let's start a list of possible suitors, whether they love them or not.

So by that token, all those in GN who had a single coloured top table at their wedding are racist. That makes me racist (I didn’t have any non-white friends till after my marriage.)

Could we argue that any non-white invitees are racist for refusing to attend?

Lady Louise Mountbatten-Windsor would be a good candidate. She’s about 19.

Back in Queen Victoria’s day, she used to sort out prospective spouses for her family.

Perhaps the Princess Royal could have ‘Diverse Marriage Arranger’ added to her list of official duties.

I'm sure Serena Williams' daughter age 5 could be introduced (by MM) to Louis also age 5 when the time is right.
Game, set, match! 🎾 👑

Well the last arranged marriage was hardly a great success. Best not.

OFCOM have received nearly 5,000 complaints about what Adjoa Andoh said. That is the biggest complaint they have had this year.

She has certainly annoyed a lot of viewers. I wonder how many complaints there would have been if a white person had said the balcony looked “terribly black.”

If Adjoa Andoh had waited 24 hours before commenting she would have realised how inappropriate her statement was.

Primrose53 No white person would dare make any such remark. If they had they would have howling crowds, of mainly white people, outside their home doing damage to it and to them and anyone associated with them.

I suspect she must be bitterly regretting her comment and the resulting restriction on her career opportunities.

A ridiculous comment and she's only succeeded in making herself look foolish.
