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

faye17

Whatever knee-jerk reaction Diana may have had to the cold, adulterous and manipulative behaviour of her husband not to mention to the growing realisation that she was the toy for both Charles & his ladylove to manipulate since the very outset have absolutely nothing/zero to do with the fitness of either manipulator to be king or queen.
Adultery was the least of their sins.

Well said, faye17.
Cannot believe how much hypocrisy is being said.
This adulterous pair will never been my king and queen.

I’ve looked it up and the George VI coronation gave his Queen Elizabeth a simpler ceremony. She was crowned Queen and not Queen Consort as Camilla is according to the wishes of the Queen. Still puzzled but there you go we will watch it just as I did in 1953 on a friend’s 9” black and white tv.

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)?

What a grump☹️

I think it’s a lovely idea.

I didn’t think Camilla was going to be crowned with holy oil. Prince Philip wasn’t King and I can’t understand why a Queen Consort would be elevated to t receive holy oil. I will lookup the coronation of George VI.

I am not jeering at her at all. I had a sneaking admiration for those qualities.

Well, if Diana hadn’t died in such tragic circumstances 25+ years ago, none of us know how things would have evolved.

Would she be re-married by now? (Probably, yes).

Would Charles and Camilla have married? (Not sure, although Charles was divorced, he was also technically a widower when he re-married).

Would Harry have turned out like he has? ( I don’t think so, with his mother on the scene, the whole ‘spare’ issue wouldn’t have mattered so much, as he always had his mum on his side).

Would Diana have been invited to the Coronation? (Yes, I think so, dressed to kill and destined to out-glitter the whole caboodle).

I don't think anybody is jeering at Diana. She was beautiful and charismatic, but definitely flawed. Camilla is a steadier character and a better partner for Charles in every way.

Jeer at Diana all you want
It says nothing about her and everything about you.
It won't validate or beautify the ugly reality about to unfold in May.

Who is "jeering" as far as I'm concerned we are acknowledging Diana's abilities to take over photo opportunities and events. It was something she did so well.

I think you will find that it was the press that singled Diana the Princess of Wales out for photos, she was very photogenic and they knew having her on the front page would sell their newspapers.

Or she would have sat on a bench outside with her head tilted to the side.

🤣🤣🤣

Still waiting to hear if other GNs, divorced or not advocate inviting the ex partner to a celebration for the remarried spouse and partner.
If you were divorced Glorianny, and were having a celebration, would you invite your ex (and possible new spouse) to the affair?

My parents were divorced, both sets of parents were included in family celebrations, both here in the U.K. and abroad.

Actually faye17 that’s a good point

Jeer at anything or anyone’s opinions all you want
It says nothing about them and everything about you.

That stunning black dress she wore!

Often an undervalued quality in women.

Attention seeking , she was soooo good at it.

Affair being the operative word .
I loved her drama, I am not a great admirer of the doing what you are told, behave properly kind of thing.

They'd have been divorced. Of course there are amicable divorces -was this one?
Would he have invited her to the ceremony? Maybe she would have been barred from entry like Queen Caroline
I like the wedding idea Galaxy

She would have scheduled her wedding on the same day or something equally dramatic. It would have been very soap opera.

G was just thinking- it is just as well Diana is dead, imagine the huge problems if she'd been around.
They’d have been divorced. Would Glorianny or any GNs, whether in that position or not, advocate or insist on inviting the divorced partner to any future celebrations for either of the divorced partners, just because the divorced partner is the parent of children from pre divorce?
When my ex-sister in law remarried she didn’t invite my brother and when he remarried, his ex wife was not in the guest list.
If it was Willian’s coronation, yes, but that’s a celebration about William.

The anointing with holy oil is a religious aspect of the ceremony. I have strong moral standards too but I also have sympathy and compassion.

Part of the coronation ceremony. You seem to have come over all religious Glorianny, so unlike you.

Actually Gsm I have pretty strong moral standards. I don't think you have to be religious to think that vows are serious things .

Kings may have had mistresses in the late 19th century and before, but we are talking about the late 20th century.

Anyone know which season of The Crown will feature the coronation?
