Countdown to Coronation of Charles III

Music will feature a wide range; including gospel and Greek Orthodox...

A new, coronation version of “CATS!” since things are so catty with the BRF?

Sir Elton John must be pissed!

No one cares.

Sir Elton chose wrongly when befriending members of the BRF, then. He chose the ones who dislike Charles and Camilla.

Applications are now open for closing of streets to enable coronation day street parties.

Queen Camilla is swapping out the Kohinoor diamond for something else in her coronation crown.

CPB's grandchildren will have a prominent role in coronation.

If the Sussexes had any sense, they'd eagerly accept an invitation, be on their best behavior, stoically be unresponsive to any boos or catcalls, take whatever treatment the family wants to dish out, or, withhold from them, and fly back home.

From a pure PR standpoint, that's a win-win for both sides.

Adel, Ed Sheeran and Shania Twain turned Charles down, but don't despair, Kate will give a two hour rendition of Chopsticks

Music and musicians - Coronation of Elizabeth II

[quote] Countdown to Coronation of Charles III

I'll check back in on about part seventeen of this incredibly boring thread on this unbelievably dull topic.

When even Shania Twain says no ...

Camilla’s commoner grandchildren will play a big part in the coronation, but the royal quadroon Prince Archie isn’t invited?

That is racist.

Will Abbey seats be assigned according to complexion?

At last, at least one music artist has said "yes".

Is Lulu available?

I DEMAND that all music at the coronation be of African origin.

Yeah, Charles....nobody cares.

Its funny how with the death of HRM all of this seems so silly and outdated. Bowing for Camilla? And Charles? Really??

They should have just given it to Will.

Andrew probably just refashioned the theme from Love Never Dies. Watch.

Despite invites being cut right back, at least one power-gay peer has a prominent in the ceremony, and will be there in freshly steamed ermine. No, not Mandy!

Charlie bit me!

Street parties? You mean like the Folsom Street ones that Great-Uncle Edward has told me about???

Old white men in OP’s photo.

I dreamt I was at the Coronation last night. Somehow Charles has adopted me and I sat right beside Camilla, and then Charles was asking my opinion of stuff. I wonder how many people are dreaming about the coronation amd Charles as their father?

Camilla is to be outfitted with a new collar and leash.

Queen Camilla will be crowned with Queen Mary's crown.

"At the moment of his coronation, the king will wear St. Edward’s Crown, a 17th-century solid gold frame set with rubies, amethysts, sapphires, garnets, topazes and tourmalines. And the queen consort will be crowned with Queen Mary’s Crown, which was recently altered to include three diamonds totaling more than 175 carats from Queen Elizabeth II’s personal collection."

I think Elton will be ok, r5.

Attaboy Charlie.

Illegitimi non carborundum.

Prince Albert and his consort Princess Charlene are first royals to announce their acceptance of invitation to coronation of KC3. Their children however will not accompany their Serene Highnesses to UK.

This should be his theme:

And ABBA will do a special one-off live performance of "Does Your Mother Know?" for Prince Andrew.

Did Their Serene Highnesses confirm separate hotel suites, per usual?

"Young Girl" will play in honor of Prince Andrew

"Charles the turd, Super shart,

Just who the fuck do you think you art?"

Prince and Princess of Monaco and family are planning a trip to USA later this year. Can't wait to see how that goes.

Princess Charlene is likely laying in a supply of drugs to get her through meeting the Kelly family in Philadelphia. Her Serene Highness likely will have someone look up exactly where the place is and explain why she must go.

Well I guess I don’t need to be checking the mail every day for my invite.

Fuck that old homosexual boy and Andrew Webber!

Betty Lynn and Miss Dunaway will sing ALW's newly-composed emotional duet, "Heavy is the Head."

I don't think Elton is siding with the Montecito Moaners anymore....

The Sussexes have been offered Princess Margaret's Kensington Apartment, fully furnished with fabulous antiques.

What is that varmint on Elton John's head in R40?

"All three of the Prince of Wales’s children are expected to take part in the King’s coronation procession at Westminster Abbey, The Times can reveal."

MM's head will explode in one, two, three....

"The Duke and Duchess of Sussexes’ children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, are not currently factored into the plans, The Telegraph understands."

I'm angry at God for not killing Charles before his mother died.

This worthless dolt's entire life's purpose was to sit around and wait for her to croak. It would have been SO friggin' hilarious if she'd outlived him.

This is such a cheap arse affair compared to ERII's coronation. Then they closed the Abbey for the best part of a year for construction!!

I rather thought the anthem should be Ding dong the witch is dead.

[quote] It would have been SO friggin' hilarious if she'd outlived him.

I'm lol-ing just thinking about it!

R46

Westminster Abbey only has capacity for 2,200 persons (2,000 were invited to funeral of QEII). That railway and other extensive work done in 1952 was to add tiers and galleries which expanded seating capacity to 8,000. Modern safety regulations will not allow such a thing to happen again (nor really since IIRC), so no need for a railway and so on.

It also explains why guest list for coronation of KC3 isn't as extensive as it otherwise might have been. They've only got those two thousand some odd seating and that's it.

Yes, r15. They're aiming for an ombre effect.

charles and camilla couldn't find a singer from England to sing at the coronation?

I guess no one wants to associated with those two

Welsh bass-baritone Bryn Terfel will be singing at KC3's coronation.

Line up thus far:

"These include a new Coronation Anthem by Andrew Lloyd Webber, a Coronation March by Patrick Doyle, a new work for solo organ embracing musical themes from countries across the Commonwealth by Iain Farrington, along with new works by Sarah Class, Nigel Hess, Paul Mealor, Tarik O'Regan, Roxanna Panufnik, Shirley J. Thompson, Judith Weir, Roderick Williams and Debbie Wiseman. In total there will be six pieces for orchestra, five choral works and one instrumental work."

[quote]a new work for solo organ

Pics please.

R19 is the “HRM” troll. It’s so subtly wrong that it enrages me every time 😂

Time for spritz... the reek here is bad .. Deranger Thread Fumigant

^ Lil Archie?

R53 Crikey! Excitement is in the air!

I like the York Girls are Nice and Should Get More Royal Duties troll.

The derangers are the klan grannies.

I can't imagine anyone really being remotely interested in this. An excuse to party perhaps but other than that a huge bore. It's 2023 and the brf is inconsequential.

[quote]If the Sussexes had any sense, they'd eagerly accept

Maybe they aren't interested like millions of other people? I mean I'd rather watch TV myself.

Thank you for those three comments masquerading as three separate comments, R60 - R62.

The block will out.

Now fuck off.

Read it and weep Derangers (15.6%) LOL

^^

Fuck him.

R63 a tad OT but why do you block someone if you keep reading them? Actually how DO you? I've never blocked anyone, so I'm just curious.

R67, I didn't read them. But when I posted R63, there was a three post gap. I have blocked that vandal previously I suppose. Pretty obvious what was going on.

R66 No longer necessary dear. I got the job.

I thought ALW was dead.

If the SNP succeeds in putting republicanism on their agenda platform, which is the intention of their likely new muslim leader, it will be a complete disaster not only for the Union, but for the future of the monarchy in Britain.

If somehow it did happen - Scotland abandoned the throne - I wonder what they'd do with the Scottish properties, Balmoral, Birkhall, etc.

On one hand, there's a lot of happy memories and history attached to Scotland, over generations. On the other hand, if Scotland departs the union, does it look right for the royal family to maintain strong ties to the country? You could get a massive amount of money in selling Balmoral or any of the places. They might want even more cash on hand, if the deluge seems likely.

I heard ALW suggested to Charlie to take center stage at the end of the ceremony, and sing:

"This time I'm staying,

I'm staying for good...

I am back where I was born to be...

With this crown, I'll be meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee"

Glenn Close is coaching him on how to deliver the lines.

R71 Is it a coincidence that Royalists derangers and Trumper deplorables tick all the same boxes?

If the monarchy is abolished, I think life will continue.

After finishing Harry's book "Spare", there really is no reason for the monarchy. He makes compelling cases why this should have been buried along with his Granny in September.

They were they just don't know it yet dear.

I cannot imagine caring about this.

He couldn't sing it any worse than Glenn, though I suppose she'll try for the crown anyway.

Honestly, she's worse than ever now she hears the clock ticking.

Countdown to my country cunt coronation

Glenn turned 76 the other day (March 19). I wonder if she still believes the movie of the ALW musical is still getting made, and she will be starring as 50 year old Norma Desmond ?

Quite honestly, I wish she'd write her memoir - that's one book I would love to read. Especially the "Sunset Blvd" chapters. Would they rival Patti's ?

If only the sun would set on this foolish notion. Old ladies.

God that means the only performer there's gonna be Sarah fucking Brightman.

Queen Camilla stole a gem she likes from another woman and will be wearing that to the coronation.

What an exciting gathering of septuagenarians and other really old people....

So exciting!

Continuity. Tradition. The nation's history.

For you your Majesty!

OLDFINGER !!

[quote]Continuity. Tradition. The nation's history.

Wow, breathtaking...I can't possibly miss it now.

[quote] Continuity. Tradition. The nation's history.

Sentiments like this are fine, but the funny thing is, when Americans say the same sort of things about their own country, they’re scorned as sentimental rubes.

R88 why do you care? Amazingly, the Coronation isn’t designed to appeal to Americans. I’m sure this will come as a shock to you but your opinion is completely irrelevant.

R90, you’re right, it’s not designed for Americans. That’s why we kicked British ass in 1776.

Everyone has an opinion. The thread doesn’t say, “don’t post your opinion unless you’re British,” does it…

Good Lord, could we please save a fucking "countdown" for 1 May??!!

I'm still working off the carbs and alcohol I imbibed during the ten days of QEII's funerary observances.

Why does everything associated with this have to come down to wars fought 250 years ago?

I mean to say, why not start tying it to the Wars of the Roses and the Battle of Bosworth whilst at it?

DL misanthropes are the dullest of all.

I was at the Battle of Bosworth. You're no Battle of Bosworth R93

R93 for dolts like R91 if it’s not “we kicked your asses in 1776” it’s “we saved your asses in WW2”.

They have no other response.

It’s as relevant as Britain and Canada (1812 war), Vietnam (Vietnam War), Native Americans (Red Cloud’s War), China (Formosa Expedition), Laos (Laotian Civil War), Cuba (Bay of Pigs), and Lebanon (Lebanese Civil War) not being able to resist “we kicked your asses”. It’s done and mostly more recently than 1776.

Good times.

Hilarious that these deranged royalist lickspittles assume anyone who is not wildly enthusiastic about Charlie and his Side Piece or who doesn't want to drink the blood of the Sussexes must be filthy Americans. Same way Trumptards think we must be ANTIFA. Cultist gotta cult regardless of nationality. Mental illness knows no borders.

You sound pretty sane yourself, doll.

It never ceases to amaze me how Brits always have a group to blame for the dwindling interest in their archaic monarchy but the monarchy itself.
