Camilla’s grandchildren to star in King’s blended family coronation

I’m thoroughly looking forward to the Coronation. 🥳 👑

It’s good Camilla will have her family with her.

As long as those two US/U.K Whingers aren’t there, I will be happy.

I cannot recall step children being spoken of in such a cold way
before this thread

It is very hurtful to those who are step-parents or had step-parents themselves.

I can't see any self-respecting teenage boy wanting to wear this.
Lounge suits would be refreshing - and will they all get a medal to wear, like Viscount Severn at the vigil to Her Majesty (aged 14)?

I bet Camilla is dreading the Coronation. She doesn’t strike me as wanting to be the centre of attention at all. Now if it had been Diana….

I think if the GC are ‘used’ as canopy holders, it will be a way of making it more blended family inclusive, plus doing away with the notion of it all being about aristocratic tradition. I think when the Queen was crowned, her attendants had to be the daughters of dukes or earls, no question about it.

I think this coronation will be paving the way for a much more modern, simpler type occasion by the time it’s William and Catherine’s turn.

I look forward to watching it all. If others don’t want to, or choose to go away on holiday, fair enough.

It’s still history in the making.

I agree.
Family members had much-loved step-father and another is a much loved step-father. I'm sure it is the same for Charles, especially as a couple of his grandchildren live overseas now.

I think divorced people were allowed to marry in church much earlier than 2002, if the vicar was agreeable to doing it.

Am thinking of my cousin whose husband was divorced. They married in an Anglican Church back in 1985, my cousin had not been married previously, just him.

The Church did not refuse to marry Charles and Camilla, they chose not to marry in church,but had a church blessing after the civil ceremony. Since 2002 the church has allowed divorced people to marry in Church. Charles and Camilla married in 2005. No Henry V111th was not divorced when he was crowned, but the the country was R. Catholic at that time. Later on of course all that changed. I think we all know why!! However, George 1st was divorced in 1694 and crowned king in 1714. His wife never came to England but remained a prisoner of her husband, locked in the Castle of Ahlden for 30 years. Charles was technically a widower when he remarried, so divorce rules wouldn't have applied anyway.

Now that the Queen and the D of E have gone, I am only interested in William and Catherine. I just hope that Charles and Camilla don't hang on till they're in their 90s. If the monarchy is to continue, we need young people who have the energy to cope with it all.

Will they all be the same height, or might it be a wonky canopy?

And what if the youngest pulls faces?

Yet another self serving show of their wealth. I have no respect for them.

I don't for one moment think that what the book was saying is incorrect. Maybe the hostilities are being driven behind the scenes by two very conniving women. Charles is weak and a wuss, Harry is immature and besotted, so we end up with the ladies running the show. It really is like a soap opera.
I agree they are all doing more harm than good, and as a supporters of the monarchy I am losing interest with the lot of it. My hopes are on William and Catherine.

The King and his Queen are a blended family as are many in the U.K.

Really cannot see what the problem is with her having her GC hold the canopy.

I suspect if the canopy was to be held by Duchesses there would be some complaining about that.

It`s just another day at the royal office.
I shall not be watching it either way.
All pomp and ceremony is not my thing.

Her children are step children to the King, you have a cold view of step children.

The magic and sparkle of the Royal shenanigans have gone with the loss of the Queen and the DoE.
The old school glamour has gone.

I'm with all the negative posts about them they are doing more harm than good to their public relations.
Especially when the plebs are getting recipes on how to cook turnip,s not even cake. All the places in the world that money could be going to , to be used for a good purpose.
I think the book was right she is one canny woman and has waited her chance. What has her children to a man she divorced got to do with the coronation
As would be said where I live Queen Camilla my ar....

As already said they were not banned from marrying in church

Westminster Abbey is not a cathedral

As already said c and C were not allowed to marry in church. Now at great expense to us they are to get a full on coronation in a cathedral, despite both being divorced after some questionable behaviour which we all know about, and actually why is Camilla getting holy oiled at all. Surely that should just be Charles.
I can only think of Henry V111 who 500 years ago was divorced but that was after he had been crowned.
I think they should have downplayed this given everything that is going on for the rest of us and had a simple ceremony.

Sounds like the claims about her in that book weren't too far off the mark.

I'm sick of them. The sooner we're a republic the better.

I think that Camilla will feel more comfortable with her family nearby at what will surely be a nerve wracking event for her. However, as it appears that, apart from Charles obviously, only The Prince of Wales and probably Prince George are going to have roles in the ceremony, I fear that there will be muttering in some quarters about Camilla’s family being to the fore.

(I seem to remember that the duchesses at the late Queen’s coronation holding the canopy were of the non- royal variety!)

I could not care less, but the more I read about the plans and the costs, the more I think it’s totally inappropriate in a country with so much poverty, homelessness and food banks.

Well, I am sure the royal family will be devastated by the absence of your daughter and granddaughter, Bluebelle but I expect they will cope.

Great idea, nice for them both, but not personally interested in royalty just a rich very rich family given their riches by the stork 😂
My daughter and granddaughter have booked a weekend away sensible I think
I ve nothing against them and nothing for them they’re just there because ……
