The Coronation of King Charles III and Queen Camilla, 6 May 2023

[Toledo]

Charles wearing one glove makes me thing of the king of pop, Michael Jackson. There are two crowns, when is Queen Camilla crowned too?

Queen Camilla's children are sitting right in front of the Wales

Yes, on the Queen's side after her coronation : logical.

And the oath of allegiance to the King sworn!

Charles looked like he had tears when William kissed his cheek

 

[Toledo]

Wow, amazing. And now it feels we are about to be in the opera Aida during the March. Extraordinary coronation moment

 

[Adda]

Camilla's big moment. I'm so happy for her.

Louis has done spectacularly well for a 5 year old. I think William was very very nervous, because he pledged loyalty in a very unispired way.

Love the way Queen Rania was looking at Camilla when she curtsied to Charles. She knows, hashtag real love wins.

Now Queen Camilla is going to be crowned

 

[Durham]

The King is not a young man & I suppose a higher dais would have been too much of a challenge but it looked more dramatic in previous coronations when those doing homage had to climb up six or seven steps. And then down again. Backwards!

I know I am probably being thick but who is the man attending Charles in the kilt?

Major Jonathan Thompson or Major Johnny as a lot of people call him!

 

[Toledo]

Queen Camilla at last. Their love story's greatest moment and Charles is smiling

 

[Biri]

Close-up of Prince George! What must be going through his mind today?

The awareness that such a moment waits for him in the future!

 

[Nico]

And done !

Favorite moment so far was Wiliam kissing Pa after offering his homage.

 

[Toledo]

They take a break and I finally get to move and get my 2nd cup of coffee...

 

[Durham]

Trumpeters of the RAF doing a splendid job!

Absolutely. Crowned beside the love of his life.

 

[Lumutqueen]

Louis is no longer next to his sister?

 

[Sunnystar]

Awww - great moment of eye contact and smiles between Catherine and Charlotte!

 

[FigTree]

And Louis gone too. Seriously though. Hour and a half at that age. Amazing.

You gotta think that Wallis Simpson is spinning in her grave. JMHO

The Coronation Anthem composed by Andrew Lloyd Webber was spectacular and genius

Awww - great moment of eye contact and smiles between Catherine and Charlotte!

Yes! It appears Prince Louis isn't there....

I don't think so

 

[JGio]

Where are the crowns?

 

[suztav]

Yes! It appears Prince Louis isn't there....

This is alot for a 5 year old child. Perhaps just a potty break?

Did I see Charles say “I love you” to William?

 

[CrownPrincessJava]

Did I see Charles say “I love you” to William?

I think he said "thank you Son"

 

[Purrs]

I assume only the King and Queen will be taking communion today rather than the entire congregation?

 

[Sunnystar]

Where are the crowns?

Gone for the Communion portion of the service, it would appear.

 

[Blog Real]

Very moving ceremony.
Where are the crowns?
