I watch so many different places to keep up to date on the royal's but this program is above the rest with keeping it true, and to the point so thank you for your guests that are very informative with information. Cheers. 🕊️
14' : the lady has got the point. People keep this quaint form of gouvernance for a reason, the pomps and the theatrics! Beware not to slim down the institution too much! Stay dignified and appear humble and attentive to the people but keep some objective visibility, otherwise what is the purpose ?! Going all margaretha of Danemark would be ridiculous, stripping her own son and his wife who served her well and decently from their titles is a major fault. This episode is quiteinteresting regarding the coronation and mr tindall (who is a big opportunist) although you all look a bit bored and tired, lacking the usual flame.
I thought it was great. Diversified, interesting, informing and entertaining. Can't ask for more than that.. well done, indeed. Have a wonderful week ALL ands many Blessings till next time.👍👍👍👍
I'm a year older than Diana was and I never thought William would find a wife who could live up to her as a fashion icon. And he didn't. He found someone who is even better. Camilla may be the new Queen, but Catherine is the new royal fashion queen. She proved that with the gold number she wore to the James Bond premier. She was absolutely stunning.
Diana's fashion is overrated. Many of her clothes are dated, but you can wear what Catherine wears in a 100 years, and it'd still look chic. Catherine is more like Jackie Kennedy.
@@Kezia.G I agree. Diana was a frumpy until after the divorce when she blossomed. Men were interested in her because of who she had married not for her looks or intellect.
@@anitawilkinson6943 BS!!! You've got this the wrong way around; SHE was the first reason anyone was ever really excited about milquetoast Charles, who couldn't get a picture of him doing anything dashing and really sell it--from being invested with the ping-pong ball crown to sailing away on his first command that saw him promptly out of the Royal Navy! Meanwhile, the first picture of Diana "to go viral" 80s style (as in get printed in publications far and wide, including Newsweek in the US, where as a kid I saw it in one of those collected tidbits-of the-week pages up front) wasn't her standing beside her future ex-husband; it was the one that exposed she wasn't wearing a slip when the sun suddenly shifted as she widened her stance and held a toddler on her hip! She didn't need Charles or William to have every straight male thinking "MILF" from that alone, but then in addition to the way her long legs looked was the way she played those eyes beneath her hats and bangs that read the kind of demure but with comedic timing that you just knew had something more was there, especially with her alternating sparkling smile and pouty model-like expressions that got her lots of magazine covers where no one really cared what she was wearing long before they cared what she was wearing down the aisle!!!!
I don't mind that shortened version, but I would absolutely love to have the full regalia brought out for the coronation. Unlock the royal jewels, shake the dust off the robes, and let's all enjoy this spectacle. This has not happened in 70 years.
I agree, the shorter service works for me but I don't know what the thinking is about the robes. Every year the garter ceremony parades robes around so why not dust them off for the coronation
Well as an Irish woman who whole heartedly followed the 10 days of mourning after the passing of QE2 and was blown away by the magnificent funeral I would be so disappointed by a slimmed down coronation. KC hopefully will have at least 20/25 yrs on the Throne which means for myself and many we won't be around to see Prince William and Princess Catherine become king and Queen. ( 😭 ) I know I'm not a British taxpayer but I plan to visit Britain as a tourist again very soon after the funeral. So fingers crossed the coronation will be as beautiful you should absolutely go all out. I'm sure billons will tune in .. show it all off xx
Curious choice for Mike Tindall to join a reality show. I hope it won't be a slide down the dignity pole. Between H & M's high profile antics, a lower profile might be better. Lady C isn't part of the royal family.
I agree. I really admire Mike Tindall and how he has managed to balance being connected to the royal family with having his own life and the freedom to do his own thing. He has managed to stay real while maintaining respect and keeping his dignity. Reality shows do not support dignity.
@@janetclaireSays Yes. If they aren't hurting for money, why do it? I don't know their financial situation and perhaps I sound judgmental. The royal family need dignity and a certain amount of pomp to survive.
I admire Mike and Zara, as they have been successful in their own careers and behave with dignity. I'm sure the Queen loved having Mike around, as he is a grounded, normal citizen. I just want him to remain dignified, but I am sure he will. He has a lovely wife, three children, and his mother-in-law and Sir Tim to think about in his choice of actions.
Question: What's going to become of Angela Kelley, and what will happen to the Queen's wardrobe and especially her jewelry? Love the show! from Oklahoma
Excellent question. I suppose Angela will enjoy a well earned retirement. I'm confident that HMTQ made provisions for her in her will. The jewels? Who knows? 👐
The great traditions of England should continue. It's fine to cut back but the people love it all and it would be a shame to go woke. Our history in the US of A is being erased and cancelled, I hope this doesn't happen across the great pond. I'm now living vicariously through British Tradition because it makes me feel wonderful and I feel a part of something ! 🎉💖🎉 It's amazing how everyone comes together to celebrate. Your show is wonderful and thank you !
To RICHARD EDEN... you seem to have forgotten that now King Charles actually made quip about "perhaps" William and Catherine will eventually move to the "big house" (referring to Windsor Castle... I see it as only fitting now that they are Prince and Princess of Wales and with William,becoming heir to the throne... hardly fitting to cram their family into a house that does not even have room for a nanny...
I think not having room for a nanny is exactly what William and Catherine wanted for their children - as normal a life as possible while they are children.
Can we stop calling Camilla the queen consort. It goes without saying. She’s Queen Camilla. We’re not morons, we know the difference between queen monarch and queen consort and don’t need to be reminded every second. Come on Daily Mail, stop acting like a sulky teen.
Diana was adorable but watching so many photos in quick succession I fear she may have been 'given to moods' - unfortunately. Sometimes joyous, sometimes sullen. Whereas Catherine still shows us the contented child at her father's knee during her childhood in Jordan. Interesting.
Oh for god's sake - USE FAKE FUR!!! Who in the world could ever tell the difference watching it from the crowd or on TV? This is beginning to seem totally ridiculous!
It’s interesting when listening to William I had the feeling he was referring to Harry suffering, having to face huge changes and having challenges dealing with it, not being prepared how to deal with this situation…..it did not occur to me he was referring to himself…
Love the idea of a design competition for the robes Richard. Could all Commonwealth artists take part? I'm in with bells on!!!! No bells on the robes though - I promise.
YES, King Charles if you watch this ,we need to see the jewels during the Coronation, tiaras ,earrings,bracelets & necklaces 💎 I don’t care if they wear their bath robes,I want to see the bling and I want to see that huge diamond in Queen Camilla crown also! The world has been so drab ,first we had Covid/ lockdown and now war in Ukraine,the world needs color!
Basia Briggs needs to remember that this isn’t just about England. Charles is King of the United Kingdom which includes Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland as well as England. Camilla could wear the crown Queen Mary bought herself for her Coronation in 1911. The Koh-i-Noor was replaced with a crystal when the original was put into the crown of Queen Elizabeth in 1937.
The kohinoor was mentioned a lot in the comments during the queens funeral. Queen consorts crown. Yeah this could be so wonderful for the commonwealth not to use that crown “as normal”. Why don’t you do a show on those diamonds?. It’s exciting really. . . Truth and reconciliation. Fn fare but not so long. Showcase all the leaders, verterans.
There are people on eBay selling ermine hides in bulk for costumers and reinactors. The creatures will be hunted regardless of whether or not they make robes for the coronation. Ermine are not endangered. Fake fur can be used, but it just won’t be as beautiful.
I would think that Princess Anne flying under the radar while on official engagements would hinder highlighting the charities and causes she visits and works with. They need the publicity. Also, I read (source ?, sorry!) that the King will move into BP because that is where the monarch lives. I feel he would take his own staff with him and they would replace the BP equivalent staffers. I doubt William would want to live in Windsor Castle; they want a family environment for their children. Best wishes from Canada!
The Crown worn by Queen Elizabeth in 1937 should be worn by Queen Camilla, the Koh-in-Noor was given over 100 years ago, these tiresome woke people should butt out and let the wonderful spectacle of a Coronation enlighten everyone's life after the sadness of HM The Queen's death, the sadness of the losses due to Covid-19 and the Cost of Living Crisis and the Energy Crisis due to Putin's invasion of Ukraine. God save the King. As for the montage, Catherine being a more mature woman than Diana actually wears the clothes with more elan and style.
The energy crisis has not been caused by the war in the Ukraine - it's been caused by the stupidity of our government interfering in something that is none of our business. In other words, it's the sanctions, and the current crisis is entirely self-inflicted.
@@annamack5823 Anna, if Putin had not ordered his troops into a Sovereign Nation that is the Ukraine the Western Countries would not have protested in the way of Sanctions and then selling weapons to Ukraine, the EU depended on Russian Gas and that has been cut off. Seriously had the World not protested and taken action Putin would look to another country after Ukraine, the Baltic States could be next in his expansion quest. The world stood by when Hitler invaded the Rhineland and Czechoslovakia and it was only when he invaded Poland that action was taken. Had we taken action when Putin invaded and annexed Crimea, Ukraine might not have been invaded although the former Colonel in the KGB has no compunction in showing megalomaniac tendencies. We are all standing on the abyss of a Nuclear War which will destroy the planet should it take place.
@@christinabacon7412 If the Ukrainians hadn't killed more than 13,000 Russians in the Donbass since 2014, and hadn't been massing for an all out attack on that region,in February, Putin wouldn't have ordered his troops into the Ukraine. Learn the facts before virtue signalling 🙄
I’m from Zimbabwe and yes acknowledging the segregation and not having a vote is important but it is worse to make every generation now and to come pay for it over and over again. How does this heal. The black chief at the time sold their own people into slavery they would also capture blacks from other tribes in battle and keep them as their slaves. So it’s part of history how things were at that time
I don’t get why people want the monarchy to scale down on pomp and circumstance. They are the royals. They’re supposed to do the most. Otherwise what’s the point?
Interesting that Princess Anne can travel without major protection--and can carry her own bags! I am also puzzled about the book release, the constant bad mouthing of the family and at the same time PLANNING a year of reconciliation! You really couldn't make this up--first we are going to damage the family as much as we can, then will take a year to reconcile with you!!!! What is wrong with their thinking? Is it just me who finds this ludicrous?
Its the thinking of the narcissist. They say and do whatever gets them what they want. It isn't the thinking of someone responsible for their actions. They will always feel they have been hard done by no matter what you do.
Honestly, no one cares about more whining from Harry regarding the Queen’s funeral. What gobsmackingly awful manners he has. His wife’s aren’t so wonderful either. They think they’re popular. They aren’t. 💜🇺🇸🌵
I learnt today that the story of William having an affair was started apparently by MM herself, the gossip lawyer put out a blind item about that, no ones sued them over that little nugget, if this is true is a disgrace
Yes, show the world of celebrity and woke mob that the royal family is above all that! We need some national pride and encouragement during these hard times. Roll in the golden carriages, the crown jewels and the velvet robs, they need to be seen to be believed (quoting the Queen here).
I’m with Richard cut down the time but keep pomp and pagentry, a large majority of us grew up with the late Queen and many didn’t get to see her coronation, I want to see it all 🎉
Hello Daily Mail Royals ❤. You asked for questions - here is ours - why can’t you have a full hour broadcast - we don’t get enough of Richard - yes - we’re the ones who want to adopt him. 💐
I agree let it be what it was meant to be. Some kids can't even read Dr Seuss now. Because someone had too much time on their hands. We know someone is going to complain but I think the most of us would be amazed.
This huge blingy diamond . . . the world should be grateful that it is kept in such a safe and secure place where it can be seen and appreciated from time to time. It was striking to me, watching this montage, that the clothes seem to wear Diana while Catherine wears the clothes. They are both lovely, and it is a subtle thing.
Love your show. Twenty five minutes goes by so quickly! I agree with Richard with regards to the Royal Regalia. It would be wonderful to see Camilla wearing those beautiful jewels with all the pomp and pageantry that should go along with a Coronation.
Absolutely ❣️King Charles and Queen Camilla! As an Irish woman ( and obviously not a British tax payer ) I would love to see a magnificent Coronation like the magnificent funeral of Queen Elizabeth. Royal Family minus the Harkles is England USP xx
The Queen always thought it so important to be seen. Look at how the funeral hearse was lit up. She really did find it important for the people she served to see her in life and in death.❤️
I feel that taking from the traditional coronation would be almost as detrimental as if the Queen's death ceremonies had been "economized". There's many ways the cost of The Firm's and the BRF can be modernized and made more cost effective but I don't think the Coronation is the time and place.
The RF has the money to pay for the extras if they wanted to. If it was told to the public that their tax won't be paying for the extravaganza, that they are doing it for the people to see the full ceremony as it doesn't happen often. Just an idea.
@@lesleymcshanemitchell9651 I agrée it is over the top for a 75 year old man and his wife. It is also too long for a good TV show. They need to determine the significant parts and take it from there.
I hope the Coronation’s pageantry isn’t scaled back too far, I agree with your panel this is History in the making !! Come on Britain 🇬🇧 show us how it’s done !! (plus We’ll probably need cheering up by next May) Love your channel by the way 💕from Canada 🇨🇦
Did I hear right, Bastia Briggs (whoever she is) just said we have to keep the people of ENGLAND happy. Surely she should have said the people of the UK.
I am just going to say that I have had dogs that needed to have their anal glands expressed, so that is not cruelty. Keeping these non domesticated animals in captivity is though.
An American here. I can understand the shortening of the coronation but hopefully it won't compromise the serious and spiritual nature of the ceremony. I think the peers and their ladies should put on their full regalia for the occasion. I can't understand why you would have such beautiful items for such sacred (and rare) occasions that may come once in a lifetime for the peers . And yes, Queen Camilla deserves the crown as she is now the queen. I agree with Richard Eden; there's always a complainer in the bunch with an axe to grind. You can't please everybody. Ermine are simply short tailed weasels in winter coats and are not an endangered species. But there are some fabulous fake furs on the market if a compromise must be made. I'm looking forward to the coronation. Thank you for your insightful commentaries on the British Royal Family.
Sorry but Catherine knows how to wear the clothes and she outshines ever the Sainted Diana, Catherine has so much confidence in all the clothes she wears. I love all the female Royal members but when Catherine walks into a room all I can say is Wow.
@@Emmajaymusic Almost all of Diana's fashion flops were at the beginning when she was choosing her clothes herself but when she started letting others choose for her the clothes were better.
Those two don’t deserve to be invited to the Coronation. It’s unbelievable that no matter what Harry & Megain do and no matter how bad they behave, and no matter how many lies they tell, and no matter how many people they hurt, they would get to be part of the pomp and ceremony of King Charles III Coronation. HOW IS IT THEY ARE NOT HALF IN AND HALF OUT ?
@@derekliso1211 The coronation is a state affair. Horrid Henry is a family affair. Not sure how you are not seeing the differentiation between the two? Harry has repeateldy, eyes wide open, sliced and diced his Queen, his country, and his family (not to mention numerous countries around the globe). If KC desires for his reign to be a success, then he must separate the two. You realize that if H is invited, then by default his wife will be attending with him, wearing a tiara? If KC allows this to happen, his reign will effectively be over, and pronto. And rightly so. I've supported the Monarchy for decades. Not that my opinion matters, at all, but I'm giving KC the benefit of the doubt and some breathing room to do what he must know needs to be done to sort out his traitorous son and the swamp creature that slithered into the BRF. God save the King!
I, personally, have as much right to be there as Harry. I stand proudly and sing God Save the King while Harry glared in anger! It is NOT a family reunion!
I think Mike's the only member of the royal family who has a chance of doing the "I'm a Celebrity..." show and keeping his and the Windsor's dignity intact. I still don't think it's a good idea--I don't like reality shows, so tawdry--but Mike has a good head on his shoulders, and, as others have said, he's an accomplished man in his own right and not married to a titled, working royal.
Being titled should have nothing to do with it. He's cashing in and trying to be a celebrity because of who his mother in law is. You're only okay with it because he's white! There's no difference in what he is doing and what Prince Harry and his wife are doing except Prince Harry married a black woman and that's really why he's always criticized. He's trying to make a living off of his married into family for his own fortune. What's next a movie, a book, a Tshirt with his face on it!
@@reneec.venegas6560 What rubbish! Mike is a celebrity in his own right, and one before he met Zara. Not having titles they have to earn their own income. I suspect that you're not British and this is beyond you.
The lady commentator....as always with the random, eyeorish, remarks. Of course the robes from 70 years ago won't have 'disintegrated', of course they can design something that won't include real ermine. I bet she'd just be happy if everyone wore morning suits....the woman has no understanding of British pomp and ceremony. Latest comment on Camilla wearing the controversial crown, "it's just not Camilla", silly comment. She always focuses on the negative, Eden is much more clued in. I also hope that the decision isn't taken to leave BP or to make Balmoral a museum. KC will be making a poor choice to abandon the heart of the country.
Just think of all the embroiderers and other craftspeople who will be employed for a coronation. Support your local artisan! Royal School of Needlework rocks!
In 2016 Indian Solicitor General Ranjit Kumar said that the Koh-i-Noor "... was given voluntarily by Ranjit Singh to the British as compensation for help in the Sikh Wars. The Koh-i-Noor is not a stolen object". Should that not suffice?
Also adding that the Koh-i-Noor is attached to superstition. It should be worn by female persons only. It is said to bring bad luck to any male owner or male person wearing it.
I think with regards to mental health and Prince William having suffered getting overlooked most often, it was very telling, when it was William who mentioned that the Queen's funeral reminded him and brought back memories of the funeral of his mother. It was also telling that he did so during a casual statement with a citizen during one of his engagements, instead of during a big interview or speech. It was simply a very authentic statement about his feelings instead of making it into a big deal.
@@kaz6254 The Royal are known for killing animals and birds for sport, most rich landowners do it, even going to Africa to kill Lions and India for Tigers.
Why is the 'fashion' sense of royal Princesses 'so' important to the media? Yes many ladies love to 'follow' the fashion choices of Royalty. What we have lost is a sense of respect for members of the Royal family. The Princess of Wales is a 'senior' member of the Royal family and needs to be seen and respected as such. The British Monarchy is an institution that needs to be respected. Yes it is 'traditional' but if it is just regarded as a 'photo opportunity' in order to sell more newspapers, then it has been turned into a 'commodity' and is not being given the due respect that should be given. The United Kingdom is a 'Kingdom. It is not a Republic and as such, the King and members of the Royal family should be treated with respect including by media writers and photographers. Pop stars etc etc are not members of the Royal family.
The Queen Mother chose the styling of her crown why shouldn’t Queen Camilla? Wouldn’t it be lovely to see the Burmese Ruby rose motif as the centerpiece of a new crown for a new millennium?
Simple solutions using new, natural, and creative things: Use synthetic ermine and English walnut oil! Design a new crown for Camilla, made by a British jeweler. Richard, you’re a dear, but YOU wear the civit oil on your forehead, and let King Charles wear the right end of something “fresher.” Great show.
Woke doesn’t even deserve a response! It needs to retain it’s dignity and tradition, it’s an important ceremony for Great Britain, and wokeness is just silliness. It can be slimmed down without sacrificing the greatest bits.
I love this tv program. It's great finding out about people and things we didn't know. Fun to watch and addictive. Here in Australia it's a big program and we all love it. Just how brave is he lol. Good on him, he's gonna have a ball and let's see how far he'll go to to reach the end and be crowned lol😂😁👍 I think it's both fun and brave. Hahahahaha classic ✌️
Apologies for this suggestion in advance if anyone might be offended. Why not update The Coronation crowns? Use a deep very very dark purple velvet. Replace the tufted cap look with straight lines that would highlight the jewels. Replace the Ermine with the same purple velvet. An updated look for a new Reign.
Sounds like a dogs breakfast what you are suggesting. As I said above, there’s nothing wrong with slaughtering a few ermine every 70 years or so. If it makes you happy yes I am offended.
Bling it up! Make it as flashy and as extraordinary as possible! People love it! I’m from the U.S. and we love it AND EXPECT it from England. While most of us don’t want a king, not one of us, going to England, would refrain from going straight to “Buckingham Palace” hoping to catch a glimpse! If they try to make it too common it will just BE common. Who wants that?!? No, no, please tell King Charles to make it as fancy as he can.
I so hope the Coronation is full of all the pomp and ceremony, as in days gone by. Our country loves all the Regalia. It won't be the same if its a watered down Coronation. There is nothing better better than a coming together to celebrate.
There's a reason why its controversial to wear the Kohinoor right now, and its not being woke. The UK government is trying to clinch a trade deal with India, which would benefit the UK economy a great deal, especially after Brexit. And Queen consort wearing a crown with the Kohinoor is just not good optics right now with the trade deal and relations with India.
Just crack a bottle of extra-virgin olive oil! Problem solved - no anal glands squeezed. I think this is just something that ought to be updated. Obviously! If they're looking at streamlining and updating, isn't changing the type of oil a small thing? Or will the ghost of Henry VIII come back and ruin the whole thing?
Greetings from California, I am so amused by all this talk about Archie being snubbed by the coronation being on his birthday. The reality is that no one in the family even has a relationship with the kid. I doubt anyone even gave it a thought. Imagine picking a date based on a kid who has only been seen a couple of times by the RF. In regards to which PC host I would like to have as a neighbor, Richard wins hands down (only if he is single 😊), if not, Jo gets my vote.
I would like to see the full fanfare. If they keep slimming down then they will slowly end up like everyone else, regular people. I don't think they want to go down that path. Everyone in the world, including myself, waits for the big fanfare. And I'm American. I shared the love with my French grandmother. If they take it away, then what's the point?
I agree! No problem with a shorter Coronation, but please give us the “magic” of Royalty! It’s an historical event and I am looking forward to it, I am thrilled: please, no disappointment! I am a Swiss in love with pageantry and British uniforms and robes and coronets.
I'm an American who just found your show the week before the Queen's funeral, now I'm an avid fan! Totally agree with Richard on the coronation (if anyone cares what an American thinks), a shorter ceremony is great, but get all the beautiful things out and USE them! Also, I'll take any of you for neighbors! 🙂
I saw the Queen's coronation in 1953 on TV and I think it would look glorious in colour. It would be a shame not to have the Lords in their (fake fur?) robes placing their coronets on their heads when the King is crowned.
This week, the dream team. Richard always seems to say what im thinking. I also hope the RF dont go woke but maybe they could jst use coconut oil instead of the possum bum oil.
I am astounded that Civet cats are still kept for the properties of their anal glands. This was traditionally an ingredient used in all expensive perfumes, but I thought the practice had ceased. Poor civets.
@@carole-f8x Don't know, don't care. Smells nice. They don't say on the bottle. Anyways, my cat has volunteered in exchange for seat at the coronation for me
The last batch of Coronation Oil was made after the Deanery was bombed in 1941 (I think that was the year) and the oil was destroyed. It's not like they are making this anymore. It was made before the practice was stopped.
I ❤ your show Jo. Richard is funny and Charlotte so polite, Rachel is also, just too great! What about start to “educate” the foreign public regarding the diamond? A strong and constant, over the next months, documented campaign. Short, modern, to different ages, fun; utilise media! A strategy that will make us feel curious, instead of critical “woke”. Since the problem involves different cultures, use that! Turn it around- Richard’s right… I want to see that diamond on Queen Camila. Wow, talk about “soft power”. Greetings from Costa Rica.
As an American, I really want to see ALL OF IT! Pretty please!!!! We don't have anything like that here in America so we have to live vicariously through all of you!!! So polish up the gold carriage and that big fat diamond and put it on that sweet Queens head and be proud of it! I do like the idea of maybe having it go to Africa next, after the coronation. I can't imagine that KC3 couldn't come up with some reasonable compromise. Love from America🇺🇸
@@PS_testing321... Even better, in a very evil way, because those 2 are like the bad side of Golum 😬 that’s probably why KC is waiting on those titles, which I hope he never gives anyways, regardless.
The montage in the end, Princess Diana is soo beautiful (this word can't even describe fully her true radiance and beauty), everything she wears even in the 80s look soo iconic!
Princess Diana should have been the crowned queen. But you are stuck with Camilla! I bet Prince William will be thinking of that on the day of the coronation.
@@reneec.venegas6560 I like Camilla and happy to see her as Queen. It's odd for you to still think Princess Diana 'should have been' Queen. Did you not read the histories and books? Charles and Diana divorced before she died and Camilla was always Charles one true love and Charles was forced/arranged to marry Princess Diana out of duty to the country (they met a total of 12 times before the wedding). All three of them were in an impossible situation. You need update your outdated views!
@@reneec.venegas6560 Diana had a lovely smile but she could never have been a good queen - she was moody, often sullen, unable to put her personal feelings on hold and "thick as a plank." William loved his mother but he is too smart not to realize her limitations!
Saying they want to do edits is being done to boost sales. When the publisher says no then everyone will really want to see what is in there that's so awful.
"Sudden Changes" It's not always about diana!!! Stop it, please. Losing a job, Losing a family member, a sudden change of living arangements, moving across the country (USA here, it's a huge country). Old age, medical stuff! Not everything has todo with Diana.
Regarding the Coronation. Less is more. There is certainly enough bells and whistles that a trimmed down Coronation, less people, shorter, can still be very beautiful and traditional.
"WOKE" Sick to death of this word and the people using it as an excuse and also fueling the constant fire it sparks. I personally would love to see the whole shebang to be honest, I think we as a country and people want it as it is our history, tradition and who we are, its our culture and its grown with each monarch and new age.
