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.

What I find annoying is that the only reason these people are even in the royal line is because Edward VIII abdicated the thrown to marry a divorced American.

But this joke, marrying this ho and becoming king and making the ho queen is AOK!

Did Edward have any children with any woman? Was Wallis his first wife? If he had any, I expect they would’ve raised hell about succession long before now.

he never had any kids, but I guess he could have if he had wanted. Wallis Simpson had been married twice before.

That hideous beast John Kerry was there wearing his medals. Even the three Purple Hearts that got him home from Nam early.

Family member said it looked more like a funeral than a celebration.

I never got the impression that Mrs. Simpson was the motherly type. (Of course, neither am I - LOL!)

Well I didn’t much care for Diana either after she dumped on the royal family back then while she was messing around with the horse stable man. So then Harry basically followed suite dumping on the family. ....like mother like son.

I'm a little surprised they didn't play this British Royal music for the new Monarchs at today's festivities.

Mmmmmm.....I think Diana ‘messed around with the horse stable man’ as a retaliation against Creepy Charles.....who was long messing around with his lowlife squeeze (who he was caught telling he wished he was a feminine product of hers). Gross.

I think she thought she could somehow make him jealous, and, change his nasty ways.

Diana wasn't much different than any other Princess of Wales from the past. Queens and princesses were doing corporal works of mercy for eons, Diana just made sure a camera was there while doing "it". Mass media created her “image” in life and in her death.
