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

welbeck

well, anyone can join GN, so it might be some of us.
undercover. !!

Yes, yes, it’s me. I forgot to mention it.
Any ideas on what I should wear?

Red, white and blue Fanny and one of those fake tiaras.
Please report back afterwards and tell all or maybe you could have a hidden body cam.

It was my idea so I get to choose - everyone has to be 5' 9" and a perfect size 10 like me 😁
All wearing white silk gowns with purple and golden trim. You may wear your own family tiaras unless they clash.

I am 5.9”, size 10 , have a beautiful gown, my wedding gown, but it’s deep cream not virginal white !

Oh and I use a wheelchair, no ?

I want to hold the canopy and come as the wicked fairy. Then at the height of the ceremony I will cast a spell and all present will fall asleep for 100 years. Fortunately no one will notice and life will go on as usual.

Why not Anniebach your wheelchair would make it all-inclusive which we are supposed to be.
I vote to carry the holy oil and just might manage a trip with it.!!!Bet that doesn't come cheap this year. I wonder where that comes from.

Lovely - you can have a polo mallet to hold up the canopy 🙂

I have my wedding dress somewhere in the attic, I'm sure it still fits 👰
Recycling is good and vintage is very in now.

It’s certainly vintage .

TBH to whole Royal Family has become such an anachronistic joke that this hardly seems worth being exercised about. Just more of the same, bread and circuses and a 50-page spread in the Mail and Express.

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.

Yup totally agree. I won't be watching it

Good for her! I’d want my grandchildren to do that for me as well !

I'm just disappointed that Prince Louis is not going to get centre stage. He's to be a spectator apparently.

What coronation? 🥱

She can do what she wants, they’re still not my monarchs. I’m a citizen, not a subject, and I don’t recognise this ridiculous, outmoded concept of a ‘royal family’.

When I became a British citizen, early 1973- I had no choice. I had to swear on the Bible, in front of a Solicitor for Oaths of Allegiance, that I would be a Faithful Servant of The Queen and her descendants.

The Officer looked just like Captain Manwaring, it was very hard to remain 'composed' - in Stoke.on-Trent!

I had to sort out my dads citizenship when Brexit made it necessary, thank goodness that wasnt part of it, he would have refused knowing him.

That’s great - would be strange to me if they were not part of the Coronation.

Vive la republique!

I take this as a sign that the British Royal Family are trying to move with the times.

Many marriages end in divorce these days, whereafter the divorced marry again and include their own and/or their new spouse's children from earlier marriages in the family. So it is all to the good if the present king and his queen are doing the same.

Queens have traditionally always been anointed and crowned at the same time as their husbands. It was only when a king married after his coronation that his wife was crowned in a separate ceremony.

I won't be watching Charles and Camilla getting crowned because I really don't like either of them. However, if she must be going through this, then I don't see the problem with her having her grandchildren there. Like them or not, they are a blended family now and that is how reasonable blended families behave, inclusively.

The crown is passed on down the line regardless of the character and behaviour of the recipient and like it or not we just have to suck it up. Perhaps the duchesses were being a bit sniffy about Camilla being crowned and she is playing them at their own game. I do have a question, though, according to tradition Charles is anointed to show he was chosen by God but Camilla was chosen by Charles so why is she to be anointed at all. There was no chance of the late Duke of Edinburgh being crowned or anointed. I am sure someone will know the reason.

The Kate D of E was not anointed or crowned because that would have made him king and he would have outranked the Queen, the rightful reigning monarch.
If it was allowed I’m sure Queen Victoria would had Albert crowned, she was besotted and would have done anything to please him.
Does anybody know if the Queen Mother was anointed when she was crowned alongside George VI?

I have been, all my life, a Royalist, and remain in favour of that, no,no, no, to a Premier!

but I agree with Blossoming on the first page

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.

It has been a long and bumpy road for both the King and Queen, good luck to them. They certainly deserve happiness especially nice that the Queen gave them her blessing. Also a lovely part of history that people abroad love to see. A lot feel we do this type of thing so we’ll. I know a few Americans that are so hyped up and are coming over for this.

Like the idea of a wonky canopy 🤣🤣

Don't care at all who holds the canopy. Do wonder why Camilla is being anointed with holy oil. Is it usual for a King or Queen's other half to be anointed in this way or even anointed at all. She is not a queen as was Elizabeth 11 she is a queen consort. Just wondering...
