She looks like dude

[gundog]

Joe and Jill may be sporting hats like that, next week.

See my post 21.......you might need new glasses brother.

These things would be so much better if they weren’t so self serious. I mean imagine a world where the new king walks out to great his peasants with the Sex Pistols “Lazy Sod” blaring. So much more awesome. Then he flips the bird, and slams a beer. That’s a king.

It’s not our tradition, but it’s a tradition the majority of the British people seem to like and believe in.

Westminster Abbey where coronation took place is nearly 1000 years old and it still look beautiful.

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

The crowns look ridiculous but are in fact real with gem stones.

This ranks up at the top of my who gives a sh*t list. The very thought of these royals and their lifetime of sucking off the hard working taxpayers of Britain is disgusting.

So two divorced and adulterous individuals have been able to become King and Queen of England

Oh well. Once again, the realm can’t/won’t meet its own standards.

To me, at least, they closely resemble Joe & Jill Biden...

The result will be the same...

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Presented without comment:

I don’t know about Camilla. She looked pretty old to me and seemed to have trouble getting around.

[FlingWingFlyer]

I suppose now Jo Jo Bidenskyyy is going to want us to buy him his own cool crown and appaloosa cola bear hide robe.

[Deaf Smith]

Yep, that is where my brain went with that pic.

[discostu]

Standards? They hand down power like a venereal disease. There are no standards there.

[Sacajaweau]

What is...is. I wish them well.

[caww]

The greatness of Hypocrisy right there....both boast their medals and regalia while both disgraced their families and the British Public...

[Jane Long]

Now, THAT would be awesome!

Diana should be there....not horse face mistress Camela.

[Brian Griffin]

Prime Minister Rishi Sunak can read off his plans to King Charles (or a mirror).

[Lockbar]

Ridiculous people...ridiculous ceremony.
