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

Hannah

Yes, the Queen Mother was crowned and anointed.

I cannot imagine it’s something C&C have dreamed up, they are just following tradition in this respect.

Does anybody know if the Queen Mother was anointed when she was crowned alongside George VI?

Yes she was.

Thank you for answering my question Calendargirl and Merlot.

(From a previous poster…)
“King Charles seems to be making a kind thoughtful choice.
Well done him being inclusive“

I believe that King Charles, in his heart, wants both sons present and is working on making that happen. Being inclusive is noble, but immediate family - heir and a spare - do matter just as much, actually more.
KC appears to be someone who wants to please everyone.
Aren’t women always in charge, though? 😆
I watch all Royal stuff on TV out some sheer, weird, fascination.
Cheers!

A load of baloney. She is married to the king. Should she be queen... I don't think so. Prince Philip was not king. and he had more right than an ex mistress.

He had no rights to be King

Had every respect for the previous Queen but have very little interest in the monarchy any more. Too many pictures of Kate and what she is wearing while performing for various photo ops here and there.

He had no rights to be King

So many others before him- nothing new here.

So what do you think should happen? Should the line of succession be broken because you disapprove?

Too many pictures of Kate and what she is wearing…

Well, going back 40 years, we were looking at lots of pictures of Diana and her fashions.

Then back in the 50’s and 60’s, it was the fashions of Princess Margaret that were in the papers.

So nothing new really.

It's natural for a grandmother to want to gather her grandchildren around her. But a canopy, holy oil and anointment? What a load of piffle. The monarchy is well past its sell-by date and mainly nowadays a source of gossip and scandal.

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.

Commissioner for Oaths and Allegiance, not solicitor (although he was that too).

OH had to do the same when he found out by chance that he was not British, aged 25! (having arrived in the UK in 1948 as a toddler). We were only discussing this the other day, and wondering if we would do the same again. As said, we had no choice, and at the time, didn't really think about it too much. T'was just a means to an end.

Do you think she shouldn’t by the way you have worded it like it’s a problem. What grandparents wouldn’t want their grandchildren involved in something like that. I’ve always said if I ever marry again I’d like my grandchildren to walk me down the aisle not my sons and no I’m not getting married again 🤣 before anyone asks

I think Anniebach meant Prince Philip, Fleurpepper

It's interesting, isn't it and why I asked the question - we have had Queen Consorts in the past and now another one, but never King Consorts.

For what it's worth I think that the Queen Mum was crowned at George VI's coronation.

Yes, she was.
She wore the crown again at her daughter's coronation.

Sorry, when I wrote my last post I couldn't see pages 6 and 7 for some reason, have got them back now.

Oh sorry, I thought Annie meant Charles.

Yes, I wondered about that. But possibly, at a very sensitive historical time, could it have been because he was not born British?

I think Prince Philip was in the line of succession, Anniebach but he was way down the list - about 150?

I am curious about how many of you are Republicans? You are not all Scottish I presume. Anyway this discussion serves to keep the limelight away from Scotland and Ms Sturgeon. Some of us are following the leadership competition. I hope Ms Forbes wins. An honest, direct woman would be a good chouce even if she is religious and says so. Being a Christian seems undesirable to some people in Scotland so we can only wait and see if Scotland will become independent.

You could start a thread about the leadership contest, Annie1, there could be quite a lot of interest.

In the meantime, I'm wondering whether I could get away with trainers under my long silk gown. 🤔

Ps, I didn't mean that to sound dismissive Annie1, those of us in RUK may not be familiar with the candidates for leader, so it could be an interesting thread.

Who cares? The anointing feels like hypocrisy to me. I do have a shred of interest in Camilla now since she stood against the ridiculous proposed censorship of Ronald Dahl’s books.

No equal rights for royalty then. Kings outrank Queens.

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'm afraid our family tiara had to be disposed of when all the precious jewels went mouldy.

I could make another, though. Do they still sell Rowntree's fruit gums?

I'll knit you one 😁

Do you think silver or gold trainers?
Or even purple?
