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.

I cut my hair VERY SHORT when I started having hot flashes, they start at the roots of your hair, they are unbearable years after getting through those I decided to keep it short so much easier I don’t think I could buzz my head HOWEVER my hair is the same cut as Jamie Lee Curtis!!! Demi Moore buzzed her head for that movie GI Jane, and she looked beautiful with no hair!!

William and Kate are the reason that the Monarchy is not being abolished.

They need another Henry IV, Henry VII, or William III to land with an army and install a real king.

He’s not a fine king. He is just pandering so they will keep him as king. They need to make all those royals get real jobs. I’m glad we don’t have an official royalty in the USA. As far as I’m concerned they are lazy bastards sucking on the public tit. England can keep on supporting them for all I care. All we have is criminals like the Biden crime family, the pelosi crime family and the clinton crime family.

Looks OK except for the funny hats.

Note the Fleur de Lys. Must be the king and queen of France.

Dumb societies have kings and queens as their leaders. Dumber societies use democracy with no limitations on who can vote.

No! In fact, He🏒🏒 no! William is next in line, followed by his kids. Hairy and Me!Me!Me!gain are well down the list.

Hairy is fifth in line and the more kids William and Kate have, the further down the list he goes! Keep up the good work, William and Kate!

I wonder, is Me!Me!Me!gain related to Wallis Simpson? Wallis Simpson screwed Edward VII out of his crown and Me!Me!Me!gain screwed Harry out of his self respect. Two gold diggers, Wallis Simpson and Me!Me!Me!gain Markle.
