Camilla looks absolutely splendid in that outfit and is obviously very pleased and proud to have this role as the regiment's Colonel-in-Chief.

Thanks for that information, Sun Lion. I am looking forward to watching it.

Thanks for the close-up. It seems to me that one of the tassles is missing. I wonder if it dropped off? If so, someone will be crawling around searching for it before long! :lol: This is exciting! I have long thought that Camilla might wear some of Queen Mary's stomachers.?

I felt the depiction of the relationship between Mohamed and Dodi was well done. It left me feeling sympathy for both of those characters as I think it made them feel real. Flawed, of course, both of them, but real. He wanted to please his father, as so many people do. Over all these years...

I have just finished watching the first four episodes and I enjoyed them. I thought the story gave a reasonably well-balanced account of all the characters and events.

I think that's one of Camilla's best looks. Absolutely stunning and a perfect look for the occasion.

My reasoning was based on the premise that princess by marriage is a lesser status than duchess by marriage. Duchess is a courtesy title whereas princess is just a courtesy dignity. In the case of a divorced duchess, e.g. Sarah Duchess of York, "Duchess of York" is her surname. In the case of...

I am inclined to think that she would be just Marie Christine Kent. Prince Michael doesn't have a peerage title, or any other style, title or attribute. He just the titular dignity of "Prince" because he is the son of a son of a sovereign. Thus the usages relating to divorced wives of...

A good chance, but not a certainty. I watched but I didn't swear allegiance. I'm sure I'm not the only republican who has a sufficient interest in history to not want to miss the opportunity to watch, in the comfort of my living room, this historic event that could be the only coronation that...

:previous: A thoughtful post. I, too, wonder about the wording. 'Not my king" implies there is someone else they would prefer as king, not that they are republicans and against monarchy generally, or against this spectacle, because a coronation after 70 years was bound to be a fancy affair...

A whole horde of Australians are going, too. 14 assorted representatives of sport and the arts and professions in addition to the PM and GG.

I agree that the issues that have led to some people in the realms wanting to ditch the monarchy have been around for decades and their decision is unlikely to have been precipitated by issues relating to Meghan and Harry. However, this movement away from a monarchy to a republic is an ongoing...

How very interesting. It looks like they are using the same little gold leaf books that I bought to turn papier mache reindeer into shiny Christmas decorations. It was very effective and the shine has lasted for years on the reindeer. Easy to use on a few little reindeer but I imagine it is a...

:previous: Thank you for linking that video, CyrilVladisla. I enjoyed it.

I've just finished watching it too and I agree with your assessment. It was all quite benign, but there was lots that I found very interesting nevertheless and I am looking forward to next week's episodes. I see it that way, too.
