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

[Biri]

In what language is he singing?

 

[wbenson]

Yes, but the prince and princess of wales walked behind him?

That's not what was in the order of service. I don't know if it was an intentional late change or something that happened on the fly.

 

[Fem]

I'm sorry to the King and Queen, but Princess of Wales stole the show today. First time we see her so regal. How far she came from the shy girl around 2010s.

 

[MARG]

Bryn Terfel just made me cry!

 

[AC21091968]

In what language is he singing?

I think it's Sir Bryn Terfel (bass-baritone) singing 'Coronation Kyrie' in Welsh.

Bryn Terfel just made me cry!

Absolutely, his interpretation of Ave Verum Corpus by Karl Jenkins sends shiver down my spine

 

[Lumutqueen]

In what language is he singing?

Bryn was singing in Welsh.

 

[Sunnystar]

In what language is he singing?

Welsh. He was magnificent!

 

[suztav]

I still don't understand why the Wales walked behind the King. It seems backward, doesn't it?

 

[Moran]

Wow! Everyone's robes were such a nice surprise. Majestic. Judging by the tone of the press, I almost expected a funeral-like moroseness. And the King and Queen look amazing. So regal. And yes Charles does look emotional.

George is doing great.

 

[Tilia C.]

I don't think that Catherine and Charlotte are actually wearing flowers, but fascinator-style hair adornment in a floral design. Something created by a milliner, not a florist.

That said, I think it looks stunning and beautiful. I've always been a tiara lover, but imho it would have been a strange choice if Catherine were the only one in the entire congregation to actually wear a tiara.

 

[FigTree]

Bryn Terfel just made me cry!

What gift. All those Welsh voices just giving to expansive singing voices. Even Adele is half Welsh.

 

[MARG]

I'm sorry to the King and Queen, but Princess of Wales stole the show today. First time we see her so regal. How far she came from the shy girl around 2010s.

Sophie is looking every bit as lovely wearing the same robes and hairpiece/

 

[Durham]

Welsh. He was magnificent!

The oldest living language of Britain. Much more ancient than English.

 

[FigTree]

In another life Charles would have been an actor. Such an emotional man with all emotions at the forefront.

 

[Moran]

No, not a tiara. On my screen, it's evident it isn't but even if we take my visual opinion out, you don't place a dress code for everyone but your daughter in-law.

 

[FigTree]

I still don't understand why the Wales walked behind the King. It seems backward, doesn't it?

Could be a very prominent statement. They also had their children walk after them.

That or there was a last minute panic with one of the children perhaps. Anyway worked well.

 

[Mbruno]

In what language is he singing?

He is singing the Kyrie eleison in Welsh.

 

[Sunnystar]

Charlotte is the real standout, in the white dress and, I think, fur cape.

 

[Erin9]

The oldest living language of Britain. Much more ancient than English.

Wow. I didn’t know that.

 

[An Ard Ri]

The oldest living language of Britain. Much more ancient than English.

That was really beautiful and the first time it was ever used at a Coronation.

 

[Toledo]

There are 1,716 people here now in the Forum!

 

[Nico]

Camilla is so serene ...

 

[CrownPrincessJava]

Both Charles and Camilla look exhausted

 

[Toledo]

This is the new Prime Minister, right?

 

[FigTree]

Both Charles and Camilla look exhausted

I don’t think they do. Charles looks immensely emotional. Camilla serene. Fairly typical really for them.

This is the new Prime Minister, right?

Not that new.

 

[Mbruno]

Poor Rish Sunak. He looked so nervous and stiff reading the Lesson.

 

[Lumutqueen]

This is the new Prime Minister, right?

This is the current Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. The Rt. Honourable Rishi Sunak.

 

[Toledo]

Camilla was smiling as Charles was dealing with the ink pen. That was cute

 

[FigTree]

Anyone seen Tom and Laura plus daughters arrive?

 

[JGio]

Camilla is so serene ...

It looks like she barely knows what’s going on, where she is. Haha. So relaxed. Anyway the State Diadem would have been a nice touch of regality, I miss something
