This is just my own opinion, of course, but I believe that the Sussex's will do what they usually do - bring attention to themselves and cause negativity to the Royal Family. 

This will be a huge and exciting royal spectacle. Just seeing the guest and their clothing will be significant. I can't wait!

Will there be postcards of the Coronation?

Why would there be postcards? Do people still send postcards to each other? I actually haven?t heard of people doing so since smartphones began to be used by practically everybody under eighty.

There will undoubtedly be dozens of special magazines and newspapers packed with photos of the Coronation though, in the UK and Commonwealth countries anyway. And countless YouTube repeats of it as well.

The Mounties are to feature in King Charles III's coronation procession in May, as part of a prominent Canadian contingent, including the Governor-General. -

RCMP riders are to accompany the Household Cavalry as part of the King's official mounted escort in the procession from Westminster Abbey to Buckingham Palace. -

Four Mounties led the Queen's funeral procession last September in plans approved by the Queen herself during her lifetime. -

"While plans are still evolving, we can confirm that an RCMP mounted contingent, similar in size to the one that took part in the funeral procession for Queen Elizabeth, is being planned for the coronation of His Majesty King Charles III," said Corporal Kim Chamberland, an RCMP spokesperson. -

yes people do still send post cards. Sorry.  ANd Im well under 80 and dont have a smart phone.

^Yes people do send and even collect postcards.  Friends of mine save them and put them in a photo type book so that a person looking at them can even read what was written on the back.. I am really hoping that there are lots of different postcards of the Coronation with pictures of King Charles in the crown and robes, I will even save those for this is a once in a lifetime event for those that care about the monarchy.

Smart phones, well I have what I call a *dumb phone* and found it is way smarter then those that are called smart phones, it does everything I need it to do and works better then the smart phone I used to have.

Two things mankind can do without in life, carpet and phones!

Yes, I know people collect postcards. Friends of mine in England do this and have some quite historic and interesting ones.They also keep them in albums. I haven?t heard of anyone actually sending one when on holiday to someone else for a very long time though.

This sort of collecting can be a lovely hobby. I used to collect vintage Xmas, Valentines and birthday cards and even Victorian ones until they began to be horrendously expensive about twenty years ago. Some of the Victorian Valentine cards were homemade and very sweet.

Wonder whether any royals send valentines to each other, lol. I know they used to send Xmas cards to friends and former servants because every now and again ones from HM and PP come onto the market. Don?t know about post cards though!

On May 6th, Canada will mark the Coronation of its new monarch, His Majesty King Charles III. In Ottawa and across the country, Canadians are invited to take part in events and activities to mark this important occasion. -

The events will include speeches, artistic performances, and special unveilings. - 

Dignitaries from the Table of Precedence of Canada, including members of the King's Privy Council for Canada, eminent Canadians, and individuals with ties to causes dear to His Majesty will be in attendance. -

"His Majesty has a long history and a special relationship with Canada, and we look forward to celebrating his Coronation in May. -

In addition to the ceremony in Ottawa, I invite Canadians to take part in events and activities that will take place in their communities to mark this important occasion. Together, we look to the future and the continued betterment of the Commonwealth and its people."

Thank you for sharing the news @PrincessOfPeace !

Traditionally the Coronation and Jubilee's of the monarch are commemorated with a special medal. Typically I've noticed that it's worn by the men and older boys on their suit jackets.
Question-Would  the King's grandchildren receive them as a memento so they could be worn later in life? Also have any of the ladies ever been seen wearing them? I am presuming that Anne wears hers when she's in uniform.

A very young Charles and Anne received Coronation medals. I believe that I have seen a photo of them wearing them that day.
Of QEII's grandchildren, they only began receiving  their first Jubilee medals in 2002 as none of them were born until after the Silver Jubilee celebrations with Peter being born in Nov. 1977.

I don?t think there has been any announcement of coronation medals for King Charles has there? Those in charge of such arrangements are leaving it a bit late if nothing has been arranged. Nevertheless, I?m sure there will be commemorative medals and they will be available for all the usual recipients, including family members, grandchildren as well. They just might be distributed a bit later, after the Coronation.

I asked about this on the other big forum. As I observed there, young royal males can display Coronation/Jubilee medals on their suit jackets/uniforms on appropriate occasions but their female counterparts usually don?t. The poster there seemed to feel that in the past Coronation medals have been handed out to ?every family member with a pulse? which I agree with, so it?s likely the grandchildren will receive one.

Big screens will be put up around Britain to allow communities to watch the King's Coronation together - with more than 30 locations already confirmed. -

Riding in a Coronation procession is hardly ?starring?. Grandchildren of Edward VII were in carriages to and from the Abbey in 1902, including Edward and Bertie. The children of King George V rode in the 1911 Coronation procession, that is Mary, Edward, Bertie, Henry and George. Elizabeth and Margaret rode in the carriage in the procession of 1937 when their father was crowned. It?s usual at Coronations, and expected. .

The working royals and the Wales children seem like a reasonable choice to be in the procession.  I  expect that other family members who do not perform royal duties on behalf of the monarch and the nation will likely take different transportation that day.

Yes, and that includes the vast majority of the late Queen?s grandchildren, Harry, Peter, Zara, Eugenie, Beatrice, Louise and James. The King?s son, brother and nieces and nephews, leaving the carriages mostly filled with very elderly people like the Kents and Gloucesters and late middle-aged Wessexes for the public to cheer. Not to mention inside the Coach!

So if I am correct,  the only living BRF members who were present at the last coronation would the King Charles III,  the Duke of Gloucester (Richard), as well as the  Kents: Edward, Alexandra and Michael. The Princess Royal made a balcony appearance but was not at Westminster Abbey. Now they'll be present again for the second coronation in their lifetimes.

Who says so? The media? Yes, well we know how much that can be relied upon! And actually it was one tabloid media outlet that began the whole thing of ?Harry and Meghan are making some demands before they will come to the Coronation.?

That was because the narrative of ?Will they, won?t they?? had been going in the tabloids for some time and was getting boring, and the stories about Archie and Lili not being invited never got much traction though, like the other stories, it was being constantly repeated.

That was due to the fact that a child of almost four and toddler just two, were hardly likely to be invited anyway. Any more than August, Sienna or Lucas (the very young children of Harry?s cousins will be. And I will be extremely surprised if five year old Louis lasts for an hour of being quiet and not moving either!

The only demand from the horses mouth is an apology from Charles, Camilla, William and Catherine publicly towards Meghan, then he changed it to, it can be privately.

The entire family should present a united front at the coronation. If a King can't manage a family crisis, how will he manage the nation? King Charles must end the family division and bickering and present as a family with all issues resolved or at least hidden behind the scenes. Its tiring to read about Royal family feuds.

Amabel2, EDIT: Okay, to manage what he's been tasked with managing. However, this is not to detract from my main point, which is for the King to find a way to bring his family together.

Charles is not tasked with managing anything.  He is the King. 
and as for his family, how is he supposed to manage someone as unmanageable and as difficult and deceitful as Harry backed by Meghan? THe past 3 years have proved clearly that Harry is unstable, unpleasant and never satisfied.

WA is to close starting April 25, 2023 in preparation for the Coronation. Nearby St. Margaret's will take over the religious services during this time. WA will reopen on May 8, 2023.

Thank you for a positive and honest comment, could not have said it any better.  Some people in life are never satisficed with anything, not even a fat full bank account, or lovely children to love and cherish.  They are the ones that are worthless in life regardless of who they think they are, life is way to short to take them on.  Money and titles are just *things* that come and go, integrity is worth more than any fat full bank account.

The late QEII could not "manage" her grandson Prince Harry and as we know he made several statements between 2020 and 2022 about the respect and love that he had for her. If she could not accomplish this task, then I'm not sure that KCIII would be able to do so either. Overall the  majority of the BRF be they "working royals" or part of the larger extended family, appear to make up a united family who are prepared to support the monarch.

I agree, and additionally, he?s a grown man who is no longer a part of the working RF. I?m not sure what there is to manage. He can?t stop Harry from speaking, and shouldn?t. He buries himself each time he does. His self indulgence has actually had the effect of creating good press for the monarchy because they look better by comparison.

All Charles should do is focus on the work done by the monarchy. He?s trying to get the accounts in order (Frogmore/Royal Lodge) and he?s cutting the fat where he can. I was ready to critique him, but he?s done a pretty good job so far taking over for the Queen?a momentous task.

Reportedly this is the somewhat "confirmed" list for the members of the British Royal Family. At this point in time, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are not on the "confirmed list." However  I'm delighted to see that the Duke AND the Duchess of Kent are both on the list.   :high5: I will admit that  I'm a little surprised to not see the spouses for the Earl of Ulster, the Earl of St. Andrews, Lady Rose Gilman, Lady Helen Taylor, and Lord Nicholas Windsor on the list. Typically their spouses have been in attendance at the weddings, memorial services, funerals and Jubilee services. The only  under ten years of age children on the confirmed list are the Wales trio.
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FsU3_OKWIAslZh4?format=jpg&name=large

Below is the "confirmed list" for foreign royals. There's a much larger number of reigning monarchs on the list than there would have been in the past when traditionally the heirs are the ones who attend so that the newly sworn/crowned monarch is the highest ranking individual. There's one former monarch on the "list," The Netherlands' Princess Beatrix. It seems that Denmark's QMI is going to send the CP Couple in her place. Hooray! It seems that Japan's Emperor AND Empress will be present!!  :high5:

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FsU8kncWIB4x6L5?format=jpg&name=large

Could I just ask where the source for these ?somewhat confirmed? Coronation guests came from please? BP or media sources? Because really only the Lord Chamberlain?s offices at BP would know the current ?state of play? for any of these royals. AFAIR in 1953 though there was ongoing speculation in the Press about which guests had been invited (though nothing like what it is today in the Internet world) the list was confirmed by BP itself shortly before and until then nothing was certain.

@Curryong, Sorry I forgot to post this in the previous post. It's from The Telegraph. I would say that there's a great deal of "expected to attend" references, hence my use of the quotes around "confirmed."

As per tradition it appears that POTUS Joe Biden will not attend the coronation of KCIII.  Seventy years ago, then POTUS Dwight Eisenhower also declined to attend the coronation of QEII and sent a delegation instead.

In fact no American President has ever attended a Coronation. It?s not expected of them, given US history. I believe in the early 19th century the son or nephew of one of the Presidents, who was residing in London at the time, did, but that?s another question!

While there may very well be a ?special relationship? between the United States and England, I don?t believe that should extend to celebrating the coronation of a new monarch; lest it be interpreted as deference. I think there?s other ways that both the United States and England have shown their ties to one another.

A first look at the official Coronation souvenirs including the quintessential tea cups, plates, saucers and teapots.

Having seen an invite to the Coronation, I am sad to report that the dress code for the Coronation is Day Dress/Uniform and not Gala (with White Tie, Gowns and Tiaras) as was expected. However, while the Guests may be in Day Dress, it does not mean that the entire British Royal Family would be wearing Day Dress too. It could be like the State Opening of Parliament, at which the Royal Family and Peers are in full Gala while guests and observers are in Day Dress.

Or so this blog on the Coronation preparations reports. I actually expected some of the guests to be in day dress, though, if this report is accurate it does contradict a report of the other day that Peers have been told to wear their ordinary peerage robes as worn on the days of the Opening of Parliament and not hire the ermine ones. It all sounds a bit muddled at the moment.

I?m not waiting to see anything. Like many other Aussies I shall be doing other things rather than watching that ceremony. I?ve got a day of sailing, whether permitting and then a family birthday in the evening. So I?ll probably miss it, something I?ll hardly be crying in my soup over.

I post the blog item because everything about the Coronation is up for discussion in the media at the moment.

so why bother discussing soemthig in which you clearly have no interest, and talking about the Coronation of a king you clearly dislike

I?ve already answered that question in the last line of my previous post when explaining why I posted the blog piece, viz ?Everything about the Coronation is up for discussion in the media at the moment.? End quote.

And if all posters here refrained from posting any discussion about people they dislike, then the Sussex threads for one would be much emptier than they have been for the past three years!

According to this report Tom Bower, who supposedly knows everything within Palace walls has been writing articles stating that he is changing various details that were decided months ago.

And why this Aus journalist above points to the refusal of top line artists to appear at the Coronation Concert as attributable to the Sussexes, when really she must know otherwise is strange. She must know that, as well as clashing schedules being to blame, many younger musicians and other show biz people are actually convinced republicans, who know that their demographic, British people and others under 25 are moving into their camp in ever increasing numbers.

The artwork is stunning IMHO. Considering KCIII's love of nature, I'm not surprised to see the beautiful flowers on the border.

Well I am not surprised to see that the couple asked their older grandsons to participate as pages.

As for the Earl of Wessex, IMO he seems to be a bit old for that role. Most pages that I've seen at events such as the opening of Parliament tend to be  older boys but still pre-teens. James is now sixteen and is far too tall for the page uniform. Also it's obvious that Princes Louis and Archie are far too young to be in that role as they'd be expected to help carry the coronation robe and sit through the two hour service.

Thanks for confirming that the age is typically 12-13 for these events as I believe that perhaps many people are thinking of the pages seen at various royal weddings who can be very young. George is a tall 9 year old who will be 10 at the end of July. He'll have three older boys to assist with the Coronation robe, so I believe that he'll be fine.

Quote from: wannable on April 04, 2023, 09:30:22 PM

Actually  9 year old George will be the youngest of the eight pages.

QuoteThe king?s pages also include Nicholas Barclay, 13, the grandson of Sarah Troughton, who is one of the Queen?s companions and oldest friends.

He will be joined by Lord Oliver Cholmondeley, 13, son of David, the Marquess of Cholmondeley, and his former model wife, Rose. Oliver?s father was recently appointed to be the King?s Lord-in-Waiting ? a significant royal role.

QuoteThe fourth page is Ralph Tollemache, 12, son of British banker and aristocrat The Honourable Edward Tollemache ? a godson of the King and a page of Honour to Queen Elizabeth.

QuoteThe Queen Consort?s pages of honour all come from Her Majesty?s family. They include her grandsons Gus and Louis Lopes, 13, and Freddy Parker Bowles, 12.

Her great-nephew, Arthur Elliot, 11 ? whose father is former Tory Party chairman Ben Elliot ? will be her fourth page.

Quote from: LouisFerdinand on April 04, 2023, 09:36:19 PM

I think it is very nice that Prince George of Wales will be a Page of Honour.   
Is this the first time a monarch's grandson has been a page of honour at a coronation?

I don't know the answer as most Kings and Queens of England and later Great Britain have been decades younger than Charles when they ascended to the throne.

Two of George VI's pages were his Lascelles nephews George and Gerald.

Here's another article with information on the young pages for KCIII and QC.

Here are some of the BRF extended family members who have served as pages of honor in recent years. According to Gert from Gert's Royals the length of service does depend upon how long the page can wear the uniforms. Once they grow out of them, their service has ended.  :shrug: We know that George is tall for his age, so he might not hold the position for too long. Traditionally the pages of honor also serve as the State Opening of Parliament as well.

Is this the first time a monarch's grandson has been a page of honour at a coronation?

Most monarchs were youngish when they came to the Throne, not old enough to have grandsons serving as Pages. Certainly in fairly modern history I can?t think of any. After Victoria came the 60 year old Edward VII. He had grandsons by his son George V but in 1902 they would have been a bit too young to serve as Pages and didn?t. Maybe if the Duke of Clarence had lived, married and had a son soon after marriage, ??but that didn?t happen.

Elizabeth, being Queen regnant, had only two Royal Pages. They weren?t her grandsons of course but George V's grandsons were pages for her in 1953 - Prince Richard of Gloucester and Prince Michael of Kent.

Prince Richard is of course now The Duke of Gloucester.

As TLLK has noted, George VI also had grandsons of George V as pages- George Lascelles was the eldest grandson of George V and later the Earl of Harewood and Gerald Lascelles was his younger brother. .

Here are copies of previous coronation invitations for KEVII, KGV and QEII which are ornate but less colorful.

Of their pending RSVP status, a rep for the couple said ''this week there was no update on whether they were attending''

Harpers Bazaar
Omid Scobie employer

could we stop talking about them and hte coronation.  If they do go, so what?

Someone days ago asked if the media was inventing stuff about will they won't they.

So Omid's employer replied yesterday.

^That is to be expected of them...so they arrive late, the last ones in like before so that everyone can see them and acknowledge them, playing a game of who is better than me or you type.  So if they do go and arrive late, will the doors be locked on them for disrupting the Coronation?  This is just their way of grabbing attention as they still need the royal fairy dust to let everyone know they are royals....only they aren't anymore!

IMHO if any invited guest who is meant to be seated in Westminster Abbey is late for any reason ie transportation, then they would be quietly escorted to their seat along the side aisles at an appropriate point in the service. It would be the same if it occurred  during a theater performance.

This is why. The tabloids.

It is what everybody has been talking about and they've been keeping everybody waiting, not just those who are interested in whether they're attending but also the organisers," Daily Mirror Royal Editor, Russell Myers told Today.
"They still haven't sent back their RSVP, we're still the none the wiser - we are led to believe they're close to making a decision, so I suppose we'll hold our breath until they do."

After the tabloid ranting about the Sussexes not RSVP-ing for the Coronation and informing the media about their reply, the Express had a two way bet about this four says ago.

It couldn?t be, could it, that the Lord Chamberlain?s office have in fact received a reply from the couple accepting the invitation but have chosen not to tell the Press about it because BP doesn?t want to preempt any announcement from the Sussexes, does it? Oh, the horror of it, the Lord C Office AND the Sussexes not telling us about the correspondence! Lol!

there is sitil no legal or moral obligation to read the tabloids or make comments.  THe Sussexes may go or not. We'll see if we watch the Coronation.

Could be. Although all that says is that guests were politely asked to please RSVP. Not that everyone did RSVP. But I do agree that BP would never announce that they did or didn?t. But this goes to my earlier point that if they haven?t said and have already given their response, I do believe it is a yes.

Charles sparks huge row with Church leaders over Coronation role of non-Christian faiths | Royal | News | Express.co.uk (https://www.express.co.uk/news/royal/1756350/King-Charles-coronation-Church-England-faiths/amp)

This is interesting. Love the move from Charles. I can somewhat understand the Church of England wanting a monopoly on the event since he is being anointed under that specific faith. However, this is 2023. There?s plenty of people in the Commonwealth with diverse faiths or no faith at all. To have leaders from different faiths there would be a statement that the King accepts any and all faiths.

I don?t think being the defender of the faith requires him to exclude other faiths, but an interesting discussion, especially with the close ties that monarchies have with religion.

Charles has had many years to think about this subject.  'The Faith' is the Protestant reformed religion established law. It doesn't mean can't defend other faiths.

He's really create a an issue when none exists. He didn't mind swearing an oath during the council. Secularists don't like it but it's never been an issue with other religions as far as I know. They understand why he takes that particular oath.

They will be of many representatives of different faiths. It's just that it's an Anglican service for a country that has an established religion.

I?m not sure that his proposition makes it not an Anglican service. I think from Charles? perspective, he is seeking to include all faiths in the ceremony itself to make the ceremony more than just an Anglican one. We?ve not had a English coronation in the modern age, so it?s clear he wants to show people what he believes his reign will be about.

https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-65213428.amp

Similarly, with his move to invite so many community leaders, I think he wants to show that this isn?t just about a religious oath he is taking. I think it highlights his own commitment to help the Commonwealth and making the day about them just as much as it is for him.

My opinion is, of course, highly biased, as I do not belong to any organized religion. And while I fully respect the right of those to worship how they wish, I also appreciate Charles trying to expand the meaning of the day from just an Anglican one to one that?s centered on the Commonwealth and it?s diversity in the 21st Century. For all that talk about what a ?modern monarchy? might look like, I think this is a small example.

^^ Yes that's true.

I don't think this has been posted up thread. -

Press release:

People who will play historic roles at the heart of the Coronation Service announced -
Details of individuals with historic claims to take part in the Coronation have been revealed. -

https://www.gov.uk/government/news/people-who-will-play-historic-roles-at-the-heart-of-the-coronation-service-announced

^And what a perfect follow-up! We have a change that could occur that would be unprecedented to a continuation of roles that have historic symbolism. This is why this event intrigues nerds like me so much. To have an ancient tradition occur in an age of so much cultural and societal change really highlights all of these contradictions that we live with (for better or worse). Love it. Thanks for posting!

QuoteOn the morning of the 6th May, Their Majesties will travel from Buckingham Palace in The King?s Procession to Westminster Abbey in the Diamond Jubilee State Coach. Created for Queen Elizabeth II to commemorate the 60th anniversary of Her late Majesty?s reign in 2012, the coach has only ever conveyed the Sovereign, occasionally accompanied by the consort or a visiting Head of State.

The list of the foreign reigning royals is now being confirmed by their respective households.

The Spain Palace has confirmed to local media that King Felipe & Queen Letizia will attend King Charles's Coronation.

Prince Albert of Monaco officially confirms he and Princess Charlene will attend King Charles' Coronation. He had said months ago, he expected to attend. But Prince Albert says The Twins won?t attend as there is a limited number of invites per delegation.

Reigning houses: Still waiting on confirmation from Belgium,  Lichtenstein,  The Netherlands, and Norway among the European reigning houses. Among the European non-reigning: Still waiting on Bulgaria, Italy, various German houses, Romania and Serbia. I do believe that all mentioned will send a representative especially if there was a representatives at the late QEII's funeral in September. 
I haven't seen anything for the many other Asian, Middle Eastern and African monarchies.

In my opinion the Sussexes have already replied to the Coronation invite with a ?Yes?. They did that to the Lord Chamberlain?s Office direct, maybe late in March, maybe the beginning of April.

The Press reacted angrily because they have more or less stated that it is their RIGHT to know how the Sussexes have replied to the invitation. The Sussexes disagree and their non response to all the media?s insulting, grotesque and rude articles about their not replying has reaffirmed their determination not to issue any statement about it until the last moment. The Palace won?t do it because they don?t want to pre-empt any Sussex reply. So it?s stalemate leaving the media extremely annoyed but clueless.

Yes

So, it sounds like the decision was finally made. Rather odd choice. I?d stay at home with my kids and call it a day.

Yes Harry go alone to King Charles?s coronation but Meghan stay with kids last time Harry and Meghan went to platinum jubilee last June 2022 celebrate late Queen Elizabeth?s 70th years of her Queen and fans booed Sussex

^ I can see that being a factor. They?re not popular in the UK. I can imagine this as an attempt to remain close to Charles? I don?t know. I can also imagine William won?t be put in a position where he?ll have to interact with him. Luckily it?s a huge event. No need for them to.

Gert?s Royals Twitter says

Crown Prince Haakon & Crown Princess Mette-Marit of Norway have confirmed they will attend King Charles?s Coronation next month.

The Albanian Royal House (former monarchy) has confirmed, to me via email, that no member of the Royal Family will be attending King Charles?s Coronation next month. (None attended Queen Elizabeth?s funeral either). Not surprised that

Grand Duke Henri & Grand Duchess Maria Teresa of Luxembourg also among attend to King Charles?s coronation due via email

The Serbia/Yugoslavia Royal House responded to my email saying, ?We will issue an official press release regarding the coronation of HM King Charles III in the following period.?

Which indicates to me that someone from the royal family will be attending. I will update with who when the announcement has been made.

I expect it will be Crown Prince Alexander & Crown Princess Katherine who will represent the Serbia/Yugoslavia Royal House at King Charles?s coronation.

The pair attended Queen Elizabeth?s Funeral.

But i have kept eyes for upcoming European Royals who come to King Charles?s coronation include Dutch Royals,Belgian Royals,Luxembourg Royals and mores on the lists due limited seats and also world leaders

Yes, why is Harry triggring himself more with anything related to his family, he has trashed them to oblivion, going....it must be Netflix money.

Who knows. Odd people, overall. I would say it?ll be over soon, but with every family event it?s going to be a thing. Such awkward unpleasantness. I can imagine that?s why Charles just wants to move on from it. Nobody has to like anyone. It?s family. Grin and bear it?or just don?t come because it doesn?t look like the apologies got lost in the mail.

They both went to the Queen?s funeral last year, obviously after the Jubilee and weren?t booed, so that?s irrelevant especially as there were cheers from the public for them at the Jubilee as well. And Meghan was hugged by a member of the public at the walk about later on.

Right

I should hope no one would be crass enough to boo at a funeral, regardless of how they felt about some people involved.

Allegedly the public were requested to behave. There is a police officer every 50 meters.  At least this is what RJ is saying in reference to the Windsor (surprise) walk, police officers did tell the public the Sussexes were also going to walk with the Waleses and to please behave.

That and Harry?s book, having been published after that, can?t have helped in terms of popularity.

If this is true, than it was the appropriate decision. No matter how anyone feels about the monarchy, the late QEII or any member of the BRF, it wouldn't be acceptable to boo during that time.

andrew got booed.

Yes he did and based upon the reaction of those surrounding the man who booed, the public didn't care for it.

I like the fact that the head of state from Hungary will attend the Coronation.

Buckingham Palace said no release pictures of King Charles?s holy oil in canopy will kept private and shields from public but late Queen Elizabeth did holy oil in canopy on televised in 1953

Quote from: sara8150 on April 12, 2023, 11:33:41 PM


On the contrary, the anointing with holy oil has always been done in private behind a canopy. It is the most strictly religious part of the ceremony. It was NOT televised in 1953. At Queen Elizabeth II's Coronation in 1953, the sacred pouring of the oil was done in private behind a gold cloth canopy.

Only Henry, what a pitiful creature, is attending. He responded 9 days late, past due date.
Megan is not going.
  It is official in an official statement from BP.

My opinion, Meg made the right choice. Henry should not go.
The children will never go back here. King Charles does  not know them and will not know  them.Meg will  rarely, f ever go back there.
There is no point.
Being that she implied BRF was racist to her and that England was tool, after all the interviews, the reality show, it just looks silly.

A look at the Diamond Jubilee State Coach  ? Royal Central (https://royalcentral.co.uk/features/a-look-at-the-diamond-jubilee-state-coach-188144/)

Queen Elizabeth was under a canopy during her Coronation, but the comment made yesterday that she allowed or the Church allowed, the BBC TV cameras (or photographers of any kind for magazines and newspapers, who were not in fact allowed in the Abbey) to televise or make any film of the actual anointing of the holy oils, is completely incorrect.

Neither she nor Charles nor any of the former monarchs stretching back a thousand years have ever been seen by the congregations at the Abbey or anywhere else while the anointing takes place. There has always been a canopy or shield of some kind hiding them for the anointing. It is the most sacred and private part of the ceremony, is recognised as such and that is the reason.

?The anointing ritual is always hidden from view ? a private moment for the monarch to reflect on their duties and the significance of being touched by that oil ? and so a canopy was held over the Queen by four Knights of the Garter, and the televison cameras turned respectfully away, as the Archbishop anointed her with the fragrant holy oil on her hands, breast and head.?

You know it and I know it but Sara can?t have known it as she stated in her comment yesterday under one of the newspaper articles posted here commenting on the anointing that Queen Elizabeth II had allowed her anointing to be shown on the BBC film made of the Coronation. Which is why I pointed it out.

Gee this Coronation appears to be firming up as a bit of a damp squib rather than an explosion of excitement and sheer joy. Still, tourists will enjoy it and turn out on the streets, so, with some skilled camera angles the BBC will be able to make it look as if the whole country is out there, I?m sure.

I do recall similar projections from polling companies regarding the 2012 Olympics Opening Ceremonies.  And yes I agree that while many Britons seemed to be inclined to initially say "No, I won't watch it," in the end they did tune in and they enjoyed one of the most spectacular and storied Opening Ceremonies in Olympic History.

Will it happen again for the Coronation? We'll have to wait and see.  :happy:

Prince Harry will 'stay just 700 yards' from 'betrayed' William during Coronation trip - Mirror Online (https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/royals/prince-harry-stay-just-700-29711266)

The 700 yards referred to in that headline is Frogmore Cottage, which is where it is presumed Harry will be staying during the Coronation trip. It is about 700 yards from Adelaide Cottage, where the Wales?s live. Both residences are in Windsor Park. That?s what the article is discussing.

That has nothing to do with where Harry will be sitting in WA. He?s the King?s son, of only two siblings, and in terms of precedence he now outranks his paternal uncles, aunt and all his cousins, so it will be interesting to see where he will sit. But it won?t be with the Yorks!

@sara8150, Thank you for: Queen Elizabeth's Coronation: 15 Fun Facts About 1953 (http://www.people.com/royals/queen-elizabeth-coronation-fun-facts-1953-crowning-ceremony)     
It was interesting to learn that the coronation ring dates back to 1831.     
I would have thought the ring would have been a lot older.

Up until the early 19th century rings presented to the newly enthroned monarchs at their Coronations were regarded by them from then on as their personal possessions. It?s not known why William IV decided to have a permanent one made for his Coronation in 1831. Especially considering he was adamant that the ceremony be held as cheaply as possible, and his brother King George IV?s ring was presumably available. Didn?t like it, too gaudy, who knows?

Anyway, apart from adjustments for size, the ring used has been the same since 1831. I do remember reading that Queen Victoria had exceptionally small fingers and therefore the ring was adjusted accordingly, but the stupid and elderly Archbishop of Canterbury insisted on pushing it on to the wrong finger during the ceremony, with the result that when the poor Queen tried to remove it after the festivities it was jammed on. She and her Ladies had to ice her finger in the end and managed to get it off, which must have been a relief.

Few Coronation rings prior to 1831 survive. Below is the one made for King Charles II in 1660, which was among the other Crown regalia that had to be replaced after the Interregnum when most of it was sold off.

England - Coronation ring (https://www.rct.uk/collection/441925/coronation-ring)

I wonder whether George IV wore this at his Coronation in 1821 as it was a bequest from Cardinal York and a relic of the Stuarts?

Most Britons not really very interested in the forthcoming Coronation. YouGov poll taken this month. The proportion of interest goes down quite substantially with young Britons but even over 60s aren?t that enthused. At the big royal forum one poster had been on a cruise that had quite a few British passengers from the 60 to over 70 years demographic and she was surprised to hear remarks from them like ?Well if Charles wants a coronation he should pay for it himself? and ?Why should we be bothered??

Most British people are not interested in King?s coronation ? poll | The Independent (https://www.independent.co.uk/news/u...-b2319742.html)

^Seems to be pretty on-trend with how things always are with the RF. Most people don?t really care about them one way or another. Most people have their own lives to worry about with everything going on. Yet still, almost half say they?ll likely watch it anyway.

That?s why these polls are a bit difficult to read in terms of what people actually feel/want. They seem to take one question at a time without putting thought to the whole.

Kate told Meghan to 'sit at back if she attended Coronation' - author | Royal | News | Express.co.uk (https://www.express.co.uk/news/royal/1758736/kate-Middleton-meghan-markle-coronation-sit-at-back)

This article is completely made up, consisting of Tom Bower ranting as usual about Meghan and Harry to Nigel Farage at the right wing (and failing outlet) GB News. As if Kate had any responsibility about where Meghan (or Harry) was to sit at the Coronation! She had and has nothing to say about where anybody is to be seated!

Bower is obsessed about the Sussexes even more than Angela Levin is. Every interview these two elderly people give is about the couple, especially on Sky and GB News. And Dan Wootton is almost as bad. Just move on guys. Find somebody else to attack, write another book, move on! It?s ridiculous!

The war had changed a lot of things, including how many carriages the Royal Mews could maintain and repair. Aristocratic families in Britain had been getting rid of their carriages as well, since the end of WW1. Sir Alexander Korda the film-maker, whose company made several historical films in the 1940s and 50s, was about the only person who had a supply of them. Even with what he supplied many foreign royals travelled between BP and the Abbey in bulky late 1930s cars, which were reasonably comfortable.

Meghan has never caused drama or any noise at any formal royal occasion.

And if you believe what a trashy tabloid reports about Kate being able to order where anyone is seated at the Coronation, then I?m sorry, that is completely incorrect. There is a BP Committee that is in charge of all Coronation arrangements, via the Lord Chamberlain?s Office at BP and Kate is neither on that Committee or working in the Lord Chamberlain?s Office.

Even when Kate is Queen, if the monarchy lasts that long, it will be as Consort not Queen Regnant. And neither Queens Consort or Princesses of Wales are in charge of any facets of Coronation arrangements. That is something the author Tom Bower has made up, his hatred of Meghan having made him odd and obsessive about her as I stated before. That linked report doesn?t have any fact backing it up, typical of tabloid reporting.

Buckingham Palace is pleased to announce further details of the twelve new compositions that have been written for the Coronation of Their Majesties The King and The Queen Consort at Westminster Abbey on Saturday 6th May 2023.

https://www.royal.uk/coronation-music-commissions

Thousands of veterans and NHS staff given prime spots to see Coronation procession ? Royal Central (https://royalcentral.co.uk/uk/thousands-of-veterans-and-nhs-staff-given-prime-spots-to-see-coronation-procession-188269/)

QuoteAlmost four thousand military veterans and NHS staff have been given the best seats in the house for the Coronation processions.

Over 3,800 have been invited to prime viewing spots in front of Buckingham Palace where they will have a close up view of the royal processions to and from Buckingham Palace as well as the balcony appearance and the special fly past after the ceremony.

The special guests include veterans from the Armed Forces as well as NHS and social care workers and members of charities supported by the Royal Family.

They will all have tickets to a specially constructed viewing stand which will allow them to see the King?s Procession, the Coronation Procession and the balcony appearance by the Royal Family.

Tens of thousands more are expected to line the 1.3 mile route between Buckingham Palace and Westminster Abbey where places will be allocated on a first come, first served basis.

As the news of the special stands was announced, Culture Secretary Lucy Frazer said ??As a mark of the nation?s profound gratitude, it is right that in celebrating the Coronation we include and champion those who have dedicated their lives to public service.?

Philippa Rawlinson, Director of Remembrance at the Royal British Legion said ?The Armed Forces hold great importance to the nation as they work to protect us, our freedoms and our society?s way of life. We know that it will be a great privilege for members of the Armed Forces community to see their new Commander in Chief on this significant day.?

https://www.gov.uk/government/news/armed-forces-personnel-to-feature-in-coronation

QuoteMore than 6,000 men and women of the United Kingdom?s Armed Forces will participate in the historic Coronation of Their Majesties King Charles III and Queen Camilla next month.

In the largest military ceremonial operation for 70 years sailors, soldiers and aviators from across the UK and the breadth of the Commonwealth will take part in two magnificent processions accompanying Their Majesties to and from Westminster Abbey, where the Coronation Service takes place.

Later in the day, military personnel will conduct a breath-taking Coronation flypast of more than 60 aircraft from the Royal Navy, British Army and Royal Air Force flying over The Mall in Central London.

From military bases in all corners of the country and on His Majesty?s ships at sea, gun salutes will sound out to herald the moment when The King is crowned.

Across the coming weeks, Armed Forces personnel around the country will be busy rehearsing for their role in a display of pageantry, professionalism and pride to honour their new Commander-in-Chief, The King.
Prime Minister Rishi Sunak said:

^Very good to see, especially after the pandemic. I hope to not see any politician that?s taken shots at the NHS applaud this move, however.

^^
This is the very best news in a long time about the royal family, the nation's military more than anyone else deserves it totally. Glad to see Charles takes this seriously and lets the best have the best seats in the house...... :stars:

Yes the Coronation events dates were going to be coinciding  with one of the The Netherlands major public holidays- May 5th-Liberation day, that does require the King and Queen to be present at home. Sending the two Princesses to the reception is an excellent idea. Beatrix has a long standing relationship with the older members of the BRF and Amalia can now gain some additional experience and meet more than one of her peers who are their nation's current heir to the throne.

Lionel Richie reveals being selected as performer at King Charles Coronation Concert was 'surprise' | Daily Mail Online (https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-11979691/Lionel-Richie-reveals-selected-performer-King-Charles-Coronation-Concert-surprise.html)

QuoteLionel Richie shared that it was a 'surprise' and an 'honor' to be named as a performer at the upcoming coronation of King Charles.

The 73-year-old legendary singer while attending the Breakthrough Awards on Saturday at the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures in Los Angeles told People about performing at the coronation along with Katy Perry, Andrea Bocelli and Take That.

'I mean, you don't get in the business and say, 'You know what? I'll be at the King's coronation.' You know, that just never comes up,' Richie said. '[It's] A, a surprise. B, what an honor. And C, the fact of all the names that are out there that he could have had for this, he called my name.'

Richie noted that he has known Charles, 74, 'for a long time' and added: 'I really do celebrate his now stepping into the king role.'

The All Night Long singer said he was looking forward to the full pageantry of the upcoming coronation.

https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-65308884

QuoteHundreds of military personnel were seen parading through the streets of central London in a midnight rehearsal for the King's coronation.

Dressed in military attire, they travelled in rows on horseback through the quiet streets on Monday night in preparation for next month's event.

It will feature more than 6,000 men and women from the UK's armed forces.

Roads were closed along the 1.3-mile route and the procession began later than the expected 22:00 BST start time.

With darkness having fallen, military personnel could be seen silhouetted against street lamps, while a carriage was drawn by several horses.

QuoteThe King will honour Britain?s relationship with the Commonwealth during the most sacred moment of his Coronation when he is anointed with holy oil behind fabric screens, it can be revealed.

Charles has for months worked on a secret project with skilled embroiderers who have stitched the names of all 56 commonwealth countries into the partitions that will shield him from public view, when he is blessed with holy oil.

Royal sources said the delicate lace embroidery, created by the Royal School of Needlework, are His Majesty?s way of demonstrating his respect and his late mother?s love for the union of nations.

Charles and Camilla to host dazzling reception night before Coronation

GUEST numbers for the King's Coronation are so tight that many foreign royals and British aristocrats have missed out on invitations to the Westminster Abbey ceremony.
But Charles and Camilla are hosting a dazzling reception at Buckingham Palace on Friday, May 5, the night before they are crowned, to greet the good and the great, including some of those who have been excluded from the main event.
The first recorded Coronation banquet dates back to 1194, while King George IV's in 1821 was so lavish that 23 temporary kitchens were built next to Westminster Hall to produce 160 tureens of soup alone, along with 3,271 cold dishes.

In my opinion out of the 30 present Dukes in the Peerage, approximately 25 have no Coronation invitation.

QuoteThe anti-monarchists planning to protest King Charles' coronation say they will not copy Extinction Rebellion's stunts - because they don't 'help the cause'.

Graham Smith, chief executive of Republic, said more than 1,350 activists have pledged to gather in London.

They will chant 'Not my King', wear yellow T-shirts, boo loudly and carry yellow placards in groups along the procession route and also gather for a major demonstration in Trafalgar Square on May 6.

And the 48-year-old has vowed to make the peaceful demonstration unmissable and loud - but told The Times that they were not staging any Extinction Rebellion-style demos because 'it's not a good look'.

Late Queen Elizabeth refused listen to protest during her coronation in 1953 ? The Queen received this message coldly, and refused to listen to their protests. The young queen personally routed the Earl Marshall, the Archbishop of Canterbury, Sir Winston Churchill and the Cabinet ?she had made her decision! The Queen arrived at Westminster Abbey looking radiant, but there was a problem in the Abbey: the carpet! The carpet in the Abbey had been laid with pile running the wrong way, which meant that the Queen?s robes had trouble gliding easily over the carpet pile. The metal fringe on the Queen?s golden mantel caught in the pile of the carpet, and clawed her back when she tried to move forward. The Queen had to tell the Archbishop of Canterbury, ?Get me started?.Another problem was that the holy oil, with which the Queen was to be anointed at the ceremony and which had been used at her father?s coronation, had been destroyed during a World War II bombing raid, and the firm who made it had gone out of business.?

The bell struck midnight, Richard Kay's article in the Daily Mail hits front page news

The Mountbattens and Windsors have been entwined for decades - but the late Earl's daughter, a bridesmaid to the Queen, is denied a coronation invitation. The King has apologised for offending so many friends, but the gripes are growing says RICHARD KAY

In my opinion, as I previously stated, good luck but the 2,000 guest budget is doomed to this type of gripes.  Every person not invited has a ''perk'' gripe.

Certainly Extinction Rebellion hasn?t helped their cause any by their actions. Throwing and daubing anything onto works of art or artefacts and glueing themselves to it just caused extra work for museums and galleries etc, as they soon must have realised, as the actions of a few months ago when these were occurring frequently don?t seem to have been repeated.

Quote from: wannable on April 19, 2023, 05:06:22 PM
In my opinion, I wish them well, but I think it's a mistake from the official Coronation budget of 2000 guests only.

I totally agree with your assessment of how many guests Charles is having, this is a once in a lifetime for so many people that were there for HM and now her son is being crowned is very important to many.  This is not about who has what title, it is about one thing only, Charles, so even cutting the seating to 4,000 would be much better then what is happening now.    I do wish Charles and Camilla well and hope things improve for the future.

I?m sure that those guests who were at previous Coronations or whose ancestors automatically attended each ceremony are offended. The fact that Peers will not be wearing ceremonial robes and coronets will diminish the pomp somewhat.

However, this is a State occasion and the King is not in charge of the entire affair. The Government pays, ie the taxpayers, and therefore it is the Govt has the last say on every part of the budget. They don?t care what potential guests, including MPs, have to say. He who pays the piper plays the tune.

The Coronation Oath is being revised and updated for 2023.

https://questions-statements.parliament.uk/written-statements/detail/2023-04-19/hcws727

QuoteOn 6th May 2023, the Coronation of Their Majesties will take place. The King will take the oath prescribed by the Coronation Oath Act 1688. The precise form of words has been varied over successive coronations to reflect changes to the constitutional position. As set out to the House in a statement by the then Prime Minister Sir Winston Churchill on 25 February 1953, with one exception, the changes to the oath have been made without express legislative authority.

For the Coronation of Queen Elizabeth II in 1953, changes were made to the oath without express legislative authority to reflect the constitutional position. Some updating to the wording of the oath is required to reflect the current position as regards the Realms and Territories, whose number has evolved since the Coronation of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, and who will be referred to collectively. As Churchill set out, the position was considered carefully in both 1937 and 1953; and it has been again for HM The King?s coronation. I propose to follow the same approach as then, that no express legislative authority is required to make the changes on the basis that they are to ensure consistency with the position regarding the Realms and Territories, as reflected in legislation. This follows the clear and consistent approach taken in 1953 as per the statement given by the then Prime Minister Sir Winston Churchill, which I have appended to this Written Ministerial Statement.

I?m sure that those guests who were at previous Coronations or whose ancestors automatically attended each ceremony are offended. The fact that Peers will not be wearing ceremonial robes and coronets will diminish the pomp somewhat.

However, this is a State occasion and the King is not in charge of the entire affair. The Government pays, ie the taxpayers, and therefore it is the Govt has the last say on every part of the budget. They don?t care what potential guests, including MPs, have to say. He who pays the piper plays the tune.

Thank you @Curryong for pointing out that this is a State occasion and that the monarch is not the one making all of the decisions especially since they are paying for this event with taxpayer funding. The Government has been a major decision maker in determining the date of the Coronation, the guest list and the number of guests to be invited, the level of security required and the budget. (Regarding the date, it wouldn't have mattered to the Government that one the King's grandsons would be celebrating his fourth birthday.)

That being said, the latest YouGov polls show that the majority of Britons do not believe that the Government should fund the coronation. The Palace and the Government are certainly aware that the current cost of living crisis is having an impact on the Coronation itself with fewer guests being invited than at the last one and festivities being scaled down from previous coronations.

Polls show more than half of Britons don?t want the government to fund the Coronation ? Royal Central (https://royalcentral.co.uk/uk/king/polls-show-more-than-half-of-britons-dont-want-the-government-to-fund-the-coronation-188447/)

QuoteAccording to a new poll by YouGov, more than half of Britons do not think the government should fund King Charles?s Coronation.

The new poll was carried out just a couple of weeks before Their Majesties King Charles and Queen Camilla are crowned at Westminster Abbey on 6 May. To be exact, 51% of adults are against the government funding the big event; 32% believe the government should fund it, and 18% are unsure of their opinion.

More than 4,200 adults were surveyed, with a majority (62%) of those between the ages of 18 and 24 against the Coronation being funded by the government. In this particular age group, 15% favoured the funding. Those over 65 were nearly split down the middle, with 43% believing in the government funding the historical event and 44% being against it.The Coronation will cost millions of pounds, ultimately leaving taxpayers to foot the bill. As of this article?s publication, the budget for the historic national state occasion has not been revealed, and the government has not commented on the expected total cost. Critics say the event wastes taxpayer money because of the cost-of-living crisis and the wage strike of doctors, teachers, and other public servants.

For reference, the Coronation of Queen Elizabeth II cost ?912,000 in 1953, which in today?s money, would be about ?20.5 million. When Charles?s grandfather, King George VI, was crowned in 1937, the event cost ?454,000, which would now be about ?24.8 million ? making this the most expensive Coronation in the last 300 years.

The Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster, Oliver Dowden, has previously said The King and government are mindful of ensuring the Coronation has value for taxpayers and will not be ?lavish or excess.? As seen with Jubilees and other events, it is likely we will learn more about the total cost and breakdown and funding after 6 May.

^Quite right. These are not good economic times for many people in the Commonwealth. I do not think it prudent to have the King demanding that every person who attended the Queen?s coronation or considers themselves a friend of Charles needs to be invited. This is not a personal, family event. It is a state occasion, so it would likely behoove those planning it to consider the financial aspects of the state.

And frankly, I?d personally rather see people from the NHS and the army invited over someone whose only claim is that they were friends with Elizabeth and attended her coronation 70 years ago.

As far as King George VI?s Coronation was concerned, nearly half a million pounds would have fed millions of hungry mouths. In 1937 Britain was just staggering out of the Great Depression, factories all over the north of England and in Scotland, were working on ?short time?, and there was the sort of poverty in the slums of major cities that would be impossible in a First World country today. And the nation was gearing up to prepare for a major war, which would break out only a little over two years later.

Almost all Britons were a great deal more deferential then, the working classes less educated and so few questions were asked about the expense. Even so, if the costs of that ceremony had been publicised by newspapers at the time I do believe there would have been riots in some cities.

@Curryong-Correct me if I am mistaken, but didn't you watch the late Queen's coronation as a little girl? Do you recall anything from it?

I agree. I am aware that there are those who are critical of the decision to not invite Lady Pamela (Mountbatten) Hicks, but even she appears to find the decision sensible. She's in her mid-nineties and required a wheelchair to attend QEII's funeral. I don't believe that she'd be very comfortable for the two hour service as well as the long waiting period before the event begins.

I've read somewhere that the King is going to forgo a Coronation banquet in favor of a quick, light luncheon after the service.

I did see it, yes, on an extremely small TV screen in a neighbour?s house. About a dozen of us, including my school friend, gazing at a black and white picture. About the only thing I can remember seeing, apart from the coach going to the Abbey through huge crowds, is the actual crown being placed on the Queen?s head by the Archbishop, as everyone around me ?Ooh?d? and ?Aahed?. That and her processing back down the Abbey in her robes, and followed by attendants in white. And a lot of us eating a bowl of curried Coronation chicken and rice.
Seen it in full colour several times since, of course.

Yes, her reply was so gracious. And I?m sure had Charles expanded the list to include them, there would have been a percentage of the population that would have been unhappy about that. Being a public figure oftentimes means always having at least one person unhappy with a choice you made. I think Charles is balancing it all out pretty well. A coronation is an expensive, ornate event by its nature, but he?s doing well to include members of the community and trying to cut the guest list to limit spending. It?s all a balancing act.

So Charles is having a doggie garden party without dogs, just how do you do that without dogs? Invite all the people that work to take care of dogs, so have dogs there, a few even and wearing doggie diapers and yes there are such things a doggie diapers as I put one on my dog right before bed time, even when I walk him before bedtime, he still might have an accident so a doggie diaper helps him and me.  It is a huge business in the doggie world of things that are made for them today besides sweaters and boots. I keep telling my dog in my next life I want to be you..so spoiled and loved and cherished and well cared for, every one of them and he is number 5, all my dogs except one have been old senior abused dogs who were dumped on streets to die by the so called wonder human race.........grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr   

I have a sign on my door at home, *Dogs are very welcome and humans are just tolerated*......LOL, makes some very careful when knocking on my door.....

So many US outlets questioning the "relevance" of the British monarchy (in which they have no stake) but they're all flying to the UK at great expense to cover the Coronation and their programming on the day is starting at 4am

^For what it's worth, the US stations were also broadcasting live for QEII Jubilee and Funeral. Although their rating numbers were low due to very little UK history knowledge. The Americans prefer to watch a UK station, their ''international'' viewing ratings were extraordinarily superior.

The UK Parliament urging the Foreign Office to disinvite the Zimbabwe President due to grave political and human rights situation in that country.

In the friend of the Waleses/Sussexes thread, the Women of Windsor are basically stating what is 'trending' in social media, with a reasonable language, no dirty language included, yes they are pro monarchists.  :flower:

QuoteSinn F?in?s Michelle O?Neill to attend King Charles?s coronation

Party vice-president says gesture demonstrates commitment to building good relations and advancing peace



Sinn F?in?s vice-president, Michelle O?Neill, is to attend the coronation of King Charles, marking another step away from the party?s strict Irish republican heritage.

O?Neill said on Wednesday that she had accepted an invitation to attend the 6 May ceremony in London in order to further peace and reconciliation in Northern Ireland.

?We are living in a time of great change. A time to respect our differing and equally legitimate aspirations, a time to firmly focus on the future and the opportunities that the next decade will bring,? O?Neill said in a statement.

?I am an Irish republican. I also recognise there are many people on our island for whom the coronation is a hugely important occasion. I am committed to being a first minister for all, representing the whole community, building good relations between the people of these islands, and advancing peace and reconciliation through respectful and mature engagement.?

Many MPs of all Parties from the House of Commons are also republicans. That is not new. Political analysts and commentators have been saying this for decades, not just about Labour MPs either.

I think she is being considerate to her people. That is what I gather reading the comments under her tweet, the landslide majority are happy of the way she wrote her tweet with respect, honor, etc. 

Like it sounds she wanted to make the direct announcement via her social media rather than her people turn on the TV come 6th May, there she is, surprise.

Approximately 40 personnel from all Services, represented by Australia's Federation Guard, will travel to the United Kingdom and undertake duties including participating in The Coronation Procession for Their Majesties during the Coronation ceremony. -

In Australia, Defence will support events marking the occasion including a National 21 Gun Salute on the forecourt of Parliament House followed by a flypast by the Royal Australian Air Force. -

The Yeoman Warders aka "The Beefeaters" have received new coats prior to the coronation.

Beefeaters at the Tower of London get new coats bearing King Charles' initials ahead of coronation | Daily Mail Online (https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12008061/Beefeaters-Tower-London-new-coats-bearing-King-Charles-initials-ahead-coronation.html)

QuoteIt's a change in uniform to mark a change in monarch - with Beefeaters getting new coats emblazoned with the King's initials, just in time for the Coronation.

Officially named Yeoman Warders of the Tower of London, the guards have worn the monarch's initials on their breast since 1570, when Elizabeth I was on the throne - and now, with a new King, they need new coats.

From today, the 35 warders have been decked out in their new garb, known as the 'Blue Undress', with a large royal crown in red and CIIIR - in honour of Charles - below.

The uniforms were made by a team of more than 40 tailors at Kashket & Partners - who have created uniforms for many members of the royal family - and paid for by the Historic Royal Palaces charity, which runs the Tower of London.

Each coat took over 30 hours to complete and weighs between 2.3kg and 3kg.

From @sara8150's previous post Princess Anne rewarded for her loyalty as The King gives his sister a major coronation role ? Royal Central (https://royalcentral.co.uk/uk/anne/princess-anne-rewarded-for-her-loyalty-as-the-king-gives-his-sister-a-major-new-role-188710/)

This is an incredible honor for the Princess Royal. She will be there in uniform for the Coronation Service.

QuoteThe Princess Royal has been rewarded for her many years of loyalty to both The King and the Royal Family with the 72-year-old handed a starring role at the upcoming Coronation.

According to the Daily Mirror, Princess Anne has been chosen to act as the Gold-Stick-in-Waiting at the Coronation of King Charles III and Queen Camilla on May 6.

The highly important historical role is handed to the person who the monarch entrusts with their personal safety

As Gold-Stick-in-Waiting to to The King, Princess Anne will travel behind Their Majesties in the Coronation procession on horseback.

Her Royal Highness will follow behind The King and Queen?s Gold State Coach, leading around 6,000 armed services personnel.

Sources told the Daily Mirror that Princess Anne was ?incredibly honoured? to have been approached for the role.

The Gold Stick is a very rarely used role and is now only seen at major state occasions.

The role is held jointly by the Colonels of the Life Guards and the Blues and Royals. Princess Anne is current Colonel of the Blues and Royals, with Sir Edward Alexander Smyth-Osbourne Colonel of the Life Guards

There is also the Silver Stick who is in charge of the ceremonial aspects. That role is held by the Commander of the Household Cavalry.

So glad to see Anne recognized like this. She is one of, if not the hardest working royal and seems to understand her supporting role in the monarchy better than anyone.

Buckingham Palace is pleased to announce further details on the Ceremonial roles to be performed by individuals in the Coronation Service at Westminster Abbey. -

The Ceremonial roles include bearing the Regalia in the Procession and presenting the items to Their Majesties. Those undertaking these historic roles in the Service have been chosen to recognise, thank and represent the Nation due to their significant service, and include representatives from Orders of Chivalry, the military and wider public life. -

The first processions into Westminster Abbey will be made up of Faith Leaders and Faith Representatives followed shortly afterwards by representatives from His Majesty's Realms. -

Flags of each Realm will be carried by national representatives accompanied by the Governors General and Prime Ministers. Bearing the Flag of the United Kingdom ahead of Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and Mrs Akshata Murty will be Cadet Warrant Officer Elliott Tyson-Lee, who said: "It is a great and incredible honour to be a part of Their Majesties' Coronation Service as a representative of the Royal Air Force Air Cadets." -

This will be followed by The Procession of The King and The Queen which will be led by the Marquess of Anglesey, the Duke of Westminster, the Earl of Caledon and the Earl of Dundee who will carry the Standards of the Quarterings of the Royal Arms and Standard of the Principality of Wales. Francis Dymoke will carry The Royal Standard. -

Mr Dymoke's claim to undertake a historic role in the Coronation was upheld by the Coronation Claims Office. The title of King or Queen's Champion has been held by the Dymoke family since the Middle Ages. The King's Champion would previously ride on horseback into the Coronation Banquet and challenge any who doubted the right of The King or Queen to the throne. There has not been a Coronation Banquet since that held by King George IV in 1821 so the Champion has instead undertaken a different role since, usually bearing a flag or Standard. -

Also taking part in the procession will be Admiral Sir Tony Radakin, Chief of the Defence Staff, acting as Lord High Constable of England, an office held for the day only. Traditionally the Lord High Constable is a Great Officer of State and has historically been connected to the military. He will take part alongside the Earl Marshal, the Duke of Norfolk. -

The Earl of Erroll will act as Lord High Constable of Scotland. Similar to that of Lord High Constable of England, this role has historically been connected to the military and the Earldom of Erroll through a Coronation claim. The Earl of Crawford and Balcarres will act as Deputy to the Great Steward of Scotland, HRH The Prince of Wales. -

The following will then process to the altar carrying Her Majesty's Regalia: -

-Baroness (Helena) Kennedy of The Shaws - Carrying The Queen Consort's Rod. -

General Sir Patrick Sanders - Carrying The Queen Consort's Sceptre -

The Duke of Wellington - Carrying Queen Mary's Crown -

The following will then process to the altar carrying His Majesty's Regalia: -

General Sir Gordon Messenger, the Governor of HM Tower of London - Carrying St Edward's Crown as Lord High Steward of England -

I?m sure the Beefeaters at the Tower are happy and feel that the change in their uniforms is as good as a rest. However, maybe it?s just me, but I?m going to miss the scarlet of their uniforms in the late Queen?s reign. I?m a colour person so navy blue, though smart, doesn?t do it for me I?m afraid.

As the colours change for each reign I wonder what the main colour in the Beefeaters uniform was in George VI?s time. Most film of royal events in the thirties and forties was in black and white, but, and maybe I?m wrong but I?ve got an image in my mind of something quite light, fawn maybe, with quite a bit of yellow and gold on it. Anyway, I?m sure the Beefeaters are happy they?re wearing something new!

I don't know the exact number of people who realize that it's in the shape of a cross. That's the traditional shape for most Christian churches in Western Europe and North America.

I think she is being considerate to her people. That is what I gather reading the comments under her tweet, the landslide majority are happy of the way she wrote her tweet with respect, honor, etc. 

Like it sounds she wanted to make the direct announcement via her social media rather than her people turn on the TV come 6th May, there she is, surprise.

Very good comment, positive instead of negative like other do.  She is doing this for the people and herself and it is a very important time in the history of Great Britain with a Coronation of a new monarch.  :goodpost:

Historic Stone of Scone moved to London for King Charles' coronation | Reuters (https://www.reuters.com/world/uk/historic-stone-scone-moved-london-king-charles-coronation-2023-04-28/)

QuoteLONDON, April 28 (Reuters) - The historic Stone of Scone, the ancient coronation stone upon which monarchs in Britain have been crowned for centuries, has left Scotland for London under tight security ahead of next week's coronation of King Charles III, officials said on Friday.

Also known as the Stone of Destiny and regarded as a sacred, historic symbol of Scotland's monarchy and nationhood, it is being moved from its permanent home at Edinburgh Castle for the first time in more than 25 years, Historic Environment Scotland (HES) said.

HES, which looks after the stone - an oblong block of red sandstone, said it had worked with police and other agencies to ensure it "can be transported safely and securely", saying it was being taken in a special carrier constructed largely from Scottish oak.

There seem to be quite a few Yanks headlining this British Coronation Concert, at least one of them being King Charles?s age. Very very few British headline acts of under 40 years of age have eagerly stepped up and even Elton John declined.

If Australians dont want to pledge allegiance noone is m aking them do so.  ANd if they dont want the monarch as tehir monarch, why dont they inaugurate a republic and have done with it.

^Exactly 😂 I find this kind of amusing. No one has to even acknowledge that royals have any privilege to be addressed differently than any other person. If they wish to have them removed, then I suggest they join the already existing campaign to do so. Everyone has a right to do as they wish. But that?s the thing, most of those people saying that won?t lift a finger to join or support the Republican movement.

Amusing is it? It won?t be so amusing for the King when another realm goes, and Australia is a big one, a continent, in fact. And it will be assured that NZ won?t be far behind.

There?s already a Minister for a Republic in Australia, appointed shortly after Labor won the general election last year by the PM Anthony Albernese. Australians don?t and won?t need to join any Republican Party because a referendum on the monarchy will be organised by the Federal Govt.

The PM is going to get a Voice for our Indigenous population through Parliament in Labor?s first term in office and then in the second term the republic referendum will be held, having been organised by the dept of the Minister for a Republic from 2022 onwards. It?s long been discussed and MPs in both main parties are mainly republicans. It?s part of Labor?s manifesto and has been for a long long time.

However, as I?ve explained here in many posts there has to be a referendum on this issue as it is a constitutional question and our Constitution, formulated in 1900, is going to have to be changed.

It?s therefore not a question of a stroke of a pen by Parliament, as it has been in realms in the Caribbean, so ?why don?t they (we Aussies) just have one if we want one? is not possible. But it is coming.

It's a very slow process, in my opinion it is still in the stage of IF rather than When, polls still favorable with the Monarchy, for now the Australian government is spending moneys too to actively participate at the Coronation.

Well, you disagree with the Australian Govt then, and the PM, who have taken active steps to establish a future framework for a republic. The PM has already stated there will be a referendum in the Govt?s second term. That?s a promise.
And sending a relatively few defence personnel to London to participate in the Coronation does not mean that Australians are rapt about having a monarchy. No State has proclaimed a Bank Holiday for it, no special public celebrations have been planned for it anywhere here, and the most popular free to air channel here in Melbourne, in a major Aussie capital city, is showing AFL football in preference to the Coronation.   

From the Sydney Morning Herald January (there are few recent polls.)

?Australians have increased their support for a republic at a time of intense publicity over Prince Harry and his falling out with the royal family, with some voters saying his revelations have influenced their shift towards breaking ties with the monarchy.

Support for the republic increased from 36 to 39 per cent among eligible voters over the four months since the death of Queen Elizabeth, while the number of voters against the change fell from 37 to 31 per cent.?

It's not that I disagree with a band or other. So far my family living there are happy, safe and sound. My only wish for every government and country in the world is good things for their citizens.  I'm quite wary these days with too many bad news, weird news, creepy news.

I also think Australia can/will do fine if they turn Republic. Just hope that its politicians don't go corrupt rogue making/committing contracts, moneys, etc. with China, it would be disastrous for the allied forces. At the end of the day. Factually the Caribbean is going China. Money makes the world go round, money helps the country. Like the Russian oil ban (is stupid), they are selling it all to India, India refines and sells it back to Europe.  That is the weird news part that makes west and east political management look  :censored2: India did something for a change to the Allies, stating that they think fristly of their own people who need to eat, and what not, etc. Asking the allies what can you give me in exchange to NOT sacrifice our citizens. The allies are up to their necks with debt and can't offer anything. Times have changed, nobody wants to sacrifice their people for a leader cause, USA isn't top dog anymore, the French want to do it their own way, Europe is looking at the French with interest.

I'll switch fully back to Coronation mode.

I am looking forward to the Coronation! King Charles III is already putting his spin on the BRF, with more influence to come. The feel is already very different from HMQ's reign. I can't wait.

My parents just surprised me with a souvenir Coronation mug! It's joined a few other QEII mugs in the cupboard.

Every school child in Great Britain (including me) received a cup or mug with a colour print of the Queen?s head on it, along with other symbols and a small plate to match. I don?t think the authorities are doing that this time, it would cost a fortune, but I can remember everyone being pleased to get a set, so there would be several hundred thousand of those still tucked away somewhere on shelves in private homes.

I can remember decorative spoons being popular and probably people may well buy something small like that as a souvenir this time, as well as thimbles, because there are serious collectors of those as well. I can remember collector teapots then, but everybody uses teabags now so I don?t think they will be goers! Tea cloths with printed scenes might be bought though. They?re bright and useful and don?t cost too much.

The colour printing on it must have been a good one, and the gilt on the plate etc fine because I can?t remember anybody saying it was cheap-looking or tacky. My grandmother had mine when I went moved out of my childhood home and went off to college etc. When she died I don?t know what happened to those items. A bit of a shame really.

Memories of 1953 and a school child a bit older than me. Coronation street parties and mugs and plates, with illustrations. I can?t remember getting a glass and my mug had the picture of the Queen full face in tiara with flags either side.

I truly hope that Arthur will have this opportunity to photograph this historic event.

QuoteThe programme - titled Arthur - follows the Sun snapper?s remarkable career taking iconic pictures of every member of the royal family on trips around the world.

Arthur says: ?My annual performance review for The Sun asks ?what are your plans for the next year??

?For the last 10 years I answered ?I would love to photograph the coronation of the King Charles III?, never thinking I would be able to.

?Now, at the age of 82, I?m going to do it and I?m kind of nervous because it is a big occasion and I want to produce a great picture, not just for the paper but for myself.

?I have waited so long for this. After well over 40 years covering the King I will finally see him get the job that he has been waiting for all his life.?

Members of the Royal Family will be out and about at #coronation events over the weekend 👇

More information on their events this weekend.  https://twitter.com/RE_DailyMail/status/1653454244588945418
The Wales' activities will be shared in the coming days.

There's rain expected for the Coronation weekend.

Weather for the Coronation - Met Office (https://www.metoffice.gov.uk/about-us/press-office/news/weather-and-climate/2023/weather-for-the-coronation)

QuoteCurrently Saturday is forecast to be another showery day, though with less widespread and intense showers compared to Friday.

Met Office Deputy Chief Forecaster, Steven Keates, explains: ?On Saturday we will see showers developing from late morning in some central, eastern and northern areas, but also with some sunny spells through the day. At this stage it looks like London could avoid the showers in the morning before some develop through the afternoon. Heavier rain is expected to move into the southwest of the UK and heavy showers are likely for parts of Northern Ireland. Winds will remain light away from the far north where gusty winds will begin to ease. Highs of 20?C are possible in London in any sunshine, with mid to high teens possible elsewhere.?

I thought that choosing early May for the Coronation would be a mistake weatherwise. Although the one in 1953 was grey and overcast as well.
