King Charles III and Queen Camilla are crowned in elaborate ceremony
NPR ^ | 6 May 2023 | Willem Marx

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.

He certainly didn’t hookup with her for her look that’s for sure.

I think we can safely say she didn’t marry him for his looks!

He's just cringeworthy. No decorum. Disgraceful.

On some of the other boards, folks are referring to her as “Queen Tampon”. :P

Call her ‘Doctor Queen.’ It would be as legit as Jill’s claim. Although Di was a better teacher than Jill and would have been a better loved (by all but Charles) Queen than Camilla. Alas Charles’s head isn’t as hollow as Joe’s. The sooner they get to Queen Kate the better!

Hi.

Did you know John Kerry attended?

He had a bunch of salad on his chest.

I thought the sob threw them all over the White House fence.

They should both be crowned, but not in this manner. Two people who couldn't keep their own marriage vows, taking a vow to serve their subjects. The jokes keep writing themselves. I heard that the Archbishop of Canterbury added something new as part of the ceremony, that every British subject take a vow of allegiance to Charles the Tampon.

"Looks OK except for the funny hats."

Her crown looks bigger than his in the picture. I'm sure she wears the pants in the family.

“Since it doesn’t effect anything in this country, why trash it, it’s a fairly tale except in real life.”

You’re right to scold nasty Americans for not bowing toward the new English lizard king. Maybe if we’re extra nice, we can convince Charley to send his royal fleet to burn Washington DC again.
