Long Live the King

[InkaUtexas 26026]

History is being made. Coronation is live on PBS. I work with a few Brits and it means something. 

The Monarchy may collapse, but damn the ceremony is well done.

An awesome empire, before WWI. As an Episcopalian, I admire and respect what they had. 

Camilia with the shit eating grin is the best part.

Internal Monologue: "Don't go CR, don't go CR, don't go CR."

*looks over*

Huzzah(!) for a well-done ceremony, but it'd be nice if they could do it without the heredity title part or, especially, the hereditary obscene wealth.

Yadda yadda yadda here’s the crown, don’t fuck it up yadda yadda yadda

[InkaUtexas 26026]

So don't fucking watch it. 

This is history, no matter what your feelings are.

God save the King.

The thing is the Royals are mascots (of history) and make the country a lot of money—interest in the UK—tourism. It’s a beautiful event and historic. I am just not a Charles nor Camilla fan. I can’t think (outside of Andrew) of two royals I like least. Wish he had abdicated and passed the title on to William. But it’s a very well done event. The royals do have their place. I’m just not a fan of Charles and his sausage/tampon fingers and his BKE. I do like he followed thru keeping Andrew out of the loop so to speak. Of all the children, it would have been cool if the title had passed to Anne I guess. Like I said, beautiful and historic event.

Cool I woke up ten minutes before they smacked the 5 pound crown on his head! Score!

The music has been incredible.  They are doing it up right.

[Nicole44 22072]

I imagine it is not easy to go to the restroom at these events. Like all those kids have to (and olds) pee…there is no way they don’t have to pee.

Bob Wills is still the king.

Sung by a Brit, no less!

[Nicole44 22072]

The military aspect of the procession is very cool. All the branches. Plus I love horses.

Hey Charles I will take that orb from you real quick and polish it…be right back.

I’m pretty sure I’m still only obligated to care about Hohenzollerns

[BehoId, The Underminer! 11669]

Such an interesting tie into history.  I get in Wikipedia holes all the time of the stuff.  I wonder how much like the ceremonies of centuries past this was like.  Weird thinking of the elite of a thousand years ago doing this… Longshanks, War of the Roses folks ...

Now THAT would make this interesting.  

[Nicole44 22072]

Forget the jewels….and all that. I will be content with just that coach. Not sure where I’d keep it though…

[Captain Ron 12889]

Just went back and watched the actual coronation. They aren’t kidding that UEFA ripped off Handel. 

[Nicole44 22072]

Didn’t know Jackie was at QE’s coronation when she was 23…that’s interesting.

Ah yes, a jolly good time was had by all. Well except for the people of India, Africa, Ireland, etc.

Of all the coverage I think I am enjoying NBC the most. Flipping thru all the channels.

Now it’s pouring down rain.

Got lost on her way to the Kentucky Derby

She and Lionel Richie are performing for the coronation concert. So they got invited. Most of the Plan A singers (Elton John and so forth said no—had other plans.) 

why KC thought Elton would say yes is hilarious though. Given Elton’s close relationship with Diana.

Is it just me or has Lionel Richie not really aged in about 40 years.
