The CC did have Louise ahead of James but James is ahead of Louise in the line of succession. They were born before the date the change in the law.
Love how George is encircled by the robes.Their Majesties and pages and Camilla's ladies

I have wondered why all four of KCIII’s pages are in identical scarlet jackets, while two of QC’s are in black, two in red?
Don’t think such things are random!
But a pity they did not make a better photo/ hire a better photographer. It seems that they were all photoshopped in seperatly from each other.
I'm thrilled we have now seen two more photos, I really like the 'three kings' image; one more of the complete Wales family would be lovely, along with the whole Royal family including the York princesses and the Armstrong-Jones cousins, but I think we have more chance of seeing the former than the latter, especially in this age of the lets-keep-harry-and-meghan-happy-at-all-costs brigade, and anyone else who wants to point out that this family is of anglo-saxon, norman, germanic, pict and celt descendancy and therefore (unsurprisingly) only have pink complexions.

Lovely idea for a photo and a historic image indeed. Prince George looks very proud!

If somebody had put a pillow behind the King's back, HM would have been able to sit straight. The crown is not straight on HM's head either. As it is, it reminds me more of a poster for a comedic movie than anything else.
The standing photo is less bad. Nice to see the Queen next to her sister. It must be special and comforting to be able to share such a day together ánd to be able to rely on your sisters help during it.
: Buckingham Palace notes "The Purple Coronation Tunic was newly designed for King Charles III but inspired by those worn by King George V and King George VI. Ede and Ravenscroft designed it with purple satin and gold artillery lace." https://royalcentral.co.uk/uk/a-king-at-his-coronation-the-outfit-worn-by-king-charles-iii-189302/
As I have stated before, I agree with you about the lack of "glamour and regality" as you put it, when it comes to this last coronation. They wanted to have it all, tradition and modernity (and save money) - and I guess that´s not possible. At least not if you ask me!At bloody last, two photographs that are essential to the collection. Had they released those last week, it would have saved me from a hangover. The only one missing is a Wales family portrait.
The coronation was not what I had hoped for. Now I realize I miss Queen Elizabeth II's glamour and regality - something neither Charles nor Camilla has IMO.
And I agree about his tunic. To be fair it makes me think of a satin pyjamas sweater.
I also agree about the photograph quality, they don't stand out. Which takes me back to my original question why Hugo Burnand was chosen in the first place. What makes him such an exceptional photographer.
He may have a royal warrant, as only one, but I don't see it.
For me, it was not worth it, and I'll pass this reign. I'll wait until it's William's turn.
Goodbye, so long, auf wiedersehen, farewell.

I agree the whole thing didn't hit the mark for me at all. The Wales family looked regal but Charles and Camilla just looked very pantomine. Also I haven't met one person, not one, among my friends or work mates who want them as King and Queen and a few of them are big royalists.
