Countdown to Coronation of Charles III, Part II

Link to previous thread.

I'm looking forward to it, not because I think the BRF are the most important people in the world but because this has never happened in my lifetime. A couple of popes, but no coronation. Even though I'll likely see another when Wills ascends to the throne (in 10 years?), there's no telling what the BRF will look like at that point (pomp & circumstance-wise, that is), so this may be the last chance to see the Big Show.

Viewing stands going up.

Horse Guard's parade

Little Edie Beale regrets she will be unable to perform at the coronation.

I really feel this is the right costume for today anyway. `

Last I heard (Australia's Today show), Harry and Meghan have not responded to the RSVP though it's past the deadline. So why don't they just get cancelled?

Rumor is Meghan can't make up her mind and is fuming at Harry and that little tidbit is at the link. Hope it's true.

Sounds a bit suspect to me, but, hey, you get the reputation you deserve.

I look forward to the showcase of England's best pop musicians.

None of them are performing, R12. But we-fought-a-war-to-get-away-from-this-shit's Bette Midler has signed.

What does Little Edie's American flag dance have to do with the British coronation?

It's a tribute to a poster on the prior thread, R14, but she's told us she's got most of us blocked and issued strict instructions about who you all should... I thin the phrase was block and report.... because apparently there's a new rule posters can't call out other posters on bullshit (it's an attack... at DL, can you imagine?) and also Americans can say anything about anybody but no one else can say anything about Americans. I'm not sure if Americans can attack Americans because she didn't get to the First Amendment before her spectacular flounce.

Breaking: Harry going to Coronation. Herself staying home on the Costa del Sulk.

Meghan is a fucking moron.

Is there a strategy here? She sure seems to have gone to ground.

Weird how Harry has agreed to miss his son's birthday.

In other words, how Harry and Meghan decided not to visit the UK and attend the coronation as a family and with the kids. They are ridiculous.

Of course Scabies is the mouthpiece on this.

Maybe she figured they were readying an even wider candle for her this time.

^Surprised?

It was announced by Buckingham Palace, r23. Scabies is just getting his nose in as soon as he could.

But what's the point of them attending as a family? Almost none of them trust either one of them. It would just be really awkward and spoil the day. The way Scabies makes it sound he's only attending the coronation service. I wonder if he will be in the procession? I bet not.

I do get some pleasure at him having to watch Camilla crowned.

R26, yup... that's what I meant. Some coincidence, eh? Scabies has such wonderful timing.

A chance for them to lure Harry back, out of the clutches of 'that woman.' (they need to do something if they really love him - his future's bleak, not even playing polo anymore). Just juggling and waiting on the narc-beast. Not that he isn't a piece of work himself, but he's their piece of work.

I will get a LOT of pleasure watching him squirm as Camilla and Prince William participate.

Let hope it's the same person in charge of placing the candles as was at the Queen's funeral. And this time they won't have to choose!

Harry and Meghan must be having some huge rows if he's attending the coronation and she isn't.

Isn’t he playing some polo this season, that the dates he wasn’t playing are around the coronation date?

Four year olds have no sense of dates. The birthday could be celebrated a month later and the kid would be none the wiser.

Thanks goodness! Good riddance that minx won't be coming!

He’ll go to the ceremony and then fly out right after. No way is he attending all the other events.

No one, I mean really no one, will talk to H. His face will look like a twisted Trump's asshole the whole time during the coronation.

Still no signs of a Royal Family Order of Charles III. He has to pay for it himself, so maybe that's why. If he does decide to open his wallet, I suspect only Cams and Kate will receive one. Until then, they'll have to be satisfied with the late Queen's Family Order.

Rats! I was looking forward to hear the crowds booing at the Countess of Monticeto. I don't think they're as apt to boo at just Harry.

R13 huh?

You know your reputation needs work when an ex Sex Pistol nails you:

And what about fellow British exiles Harry and Meghan, who live just 60 miles up the Pacific Coast Highway? “So messy,” is his assessment. While he has sympathy with their decision to leave the UK, he doesn’t like the noise they’re making. “If you want to be normal and outside of [the Royal Family], then f___ off. Just f___ off and shut up,” he says. “I’ve had to make decisions like this in the past. I had to leave the Pistols, I had to break up PiL a couple of times because the situation was unsustainable. And if that was their dilemma then please go away, alright? And we’ll love you for it. But they won’t. And I’ve never been one for kiss and tell books. They’re very, very spiteful to families and friends.”

I do the flag dance every 4th of July in my living room for my little dogs and whenever I feel like channeling little Edie.

Good to see that The Princess Henry is sticking to her guns. She's got the titles, she doesn't need the racism.

Sure. In a Lee Radziwill sort of way.

Bitchy headline... lol

It is not known whether he plans to attend a private family gathering after all the festivities on the Saturday, to which the Duke of York’s ex-wife, the Duchess of York is thought to have been invited.

Contrary to reports that there has been a row over what Prince Andrew should wear on his brother’s big day, one friend told The Telegraph that “there’s a warmth around the place and a proper rallying around the King, who in turn is showing some serious EQ (emotional intelligence) by ensuring the family is given the opportunity to pull together”.

Briefed against

Pointing to the fact that Prince Andrew and the Duchess of York, both spent Christmas and Easter with the King and Queen, the friend added: “All four siblings spent most of the Easter weekend together with assorted children and plus-ones - including the Duchess.

“I suspect some palace staff and parts of the media are well behind the curve in their understanding of this private family unity. The Duke stands four-square behind the King.”

Everybody here in the U.S. laughs at her r42. She's a huge laughingstock because of those titles. Everybody knows she's a grifter and gutter heaux and that's why she's mocked so consistently. Those titles here are akin to Eurotrash pretend royals. She is a global joke.

Don't forget, former Sussex fangirl Don Lemon now thinks Harry is "gauche."

One battle over (Prince Harry and MM) done, now another has popped up.

Suppose the Queen had not ordered the divorce when she did and that altered what lay ahead, so Diana lived. Would Camilla have become Queen? I think Charles would have pursued his divorce in due course but I think a living Diana would have been an impediment to Camilla as Queen, if not necessarily Camilla as second wife.

I don't think Charles would have married Camilla if Diana was alive.

I'll have more fun staying at home and prank calling in bomb threats on the day. We'll see how smoothly my father-in-law's stupid coronation goes by the time I'm finished.

Uh-oh Envoye Special the investigative report on French TV Antenne 2 just reported that Archewell is a scam with fake offices. They also point out Harry and Meghan started a similar 'charity' in the UK in 2020 and all the funds raised went to overhead.... Harry was scared of the Daily Mail when he should have kept his eye on French TV!

La fondation Archewell ressemble à une coquille vide… mais elle aurait les poches bien pleines. Dans le dernier rapport financier, Harry et Meghan déclarent avoir récolté 13 millions de dollars (près de 12 millions d'euros) pour leurs bonnes œuvres. Ils ont distribué 22 chèques à des associations, pour un total de 2,9 millions de dollars. Les comptes font apparaître 1 million de dollars de frais de fonctionnement. Il reste donc 9 millions qui dorment sur les comptes… Comment Harry et Meghan s'y prennent-ils pour "faire le bien" sans dépenser l'argent donné à leur fondation ?

Ce décalage entre les chiffres et leur discours philanthrope rappelle l'histoire d'une autre fondation, datant de l'époque où le couple était encore à Londres, le Queen's Commonwealth Trust. Pour l'année 2020, 782 000 livres sterling (près de 900 000 euros) de dons avaient été récoltés. Sur cette somme, 705 000 livres ont été dépensées non pas pour des associations, mais en frais de fonctionnement. Ce qui signifie que 90% de l'argent reçu n'a jamais aidé personne…

Once Zadok the Priest begins playing all the bad will be forgotten. Those in attendance, watching on television, listening to broadcasts are gripped by the purpose and solemnity of event.

Anyone notice that Prince George has grown several inches in height since the Queen’s funeral. He is level to William’s shoulder. I think Harry fears Prince George as much as he fears William.

[quote] Once Zadok the Priest begins playing all the bad will be forgotten.

There will be no Zadok the Priest. This is a modern and scaled down coronation. There will probably be some Muzzy chanting and a few hip hop numbers. And no uniforms or morning suits for the guests: ONLY TRACK SUITS WILL BE ALLOWED.

OP, I'm not interested at all in Charles's coronation. This whole royalty thing seems silly and outdated in the age of the internet, where everyone knows the fact that people are just people.

However, I love the gif that started the thread. God bless Edie!

R55 Harry has the right to fear William. If your own flesh and blood is leaking to tabloids and those tabloids are writing stories which incite hatred and death threats then its logical to fear William. Have linked tweet by reporter who states Kensington Palace leaked continuously on Harry and Meghan. KP alleged leaks have put the Sussex lives at risk.

You're getting it backwards r58. William and his family are in danger because of Harry. We could only be so lucky that someone take out Meghan.

🤹 The "Royal Coronation" will have the atmosphere of a street carnival.

Perhaps Harry wil change his mind and [italic] Just Say No.

Harry is the fucking juggler...duh.

If only Dum Prince Harold would stay away, absolutely no-one would miss him.

R50 - I agree with you 100%. If Diana had lived, divorced from KCIII, Charles could not have married Camilla.

Finally a bit of news that might cause one to watch this low budget coronation. Dame Joanna Lumley will be attending both as guest and then doing commentary.
