King Charles III and Queen Camilla are crowned in elaborate ceremony

King Charles III and Camilla, the queen consort, were officially crowned king and queen during a coronation ceremony Saturday at Westminster Abbey, the first coronation there since that of Charles' mother, Queen Elizabeth II, back in 1953.

Massive crowds lined the royals' route to and from the ceremony over the course of several hours.

Charles and Camilla began their procession toward the coronation from Buckingham Palace through Central London in a golden carriage led by eight horses.

About 200 members of the British military were mounted on horses as part of the procession, largely drawn from what's known as the Household Cavalry Regiment. On either side of the route to Westminster Abbey were around 1,000 other soldiers, sailors and Royal Air Force personnel.

They disembarked from their three-ton carriage at the Great West Door of Westminster Abbey, flanked by church officials and followed by a retinue of support staff dressed in red uniforms.

Is it treason for a Canadian citizen to hope that King Chuckie did NOT inherit either of his parents’ longevity genes? He is 74, after all.

Give the younger generation a chance!

PLOT TWIST:...... Prince Andrew is placed in the Royal Vanishing Box at Westminster Abbey. King Charles closes the cabinet, waves his Rod of Equity in the air, then opens it to reveal Andrew gone. At a side door, Diana emerges, clutching the Golden Orb & pelts it at Camilla!
