Charles seems far more humble than I had given him credit for. When William was speaking just now on stage and he said "Thank you, Pa" it was obvious Charles was trying not to cry. He must be tripping balls right now. Pretty surreal shit. He's the King! Finally! It's all happening.

R12 The message of Charles' reign is turning out to be, simply, Love. "Higher Love" was a perfect theme for this concert. This whole weekend has been so big-hearted and wholesome!

As ridiculous as the concept of a hereditary monarch is, having a politically neutral and non partisan head of state who can effectively take on philanthropic causes works for the UK.

What can I say? I'm a fag. I Mary-ed out. This Coronation weekend has been heartwarming and cathartic. It's been a weird, shitty, painful and destabilizing few years. The Trump election and pandemic fucked up my brain chemistry and my connection to friends, family and the outside world. Since 2020 I have felt degrees of hopeless, and at times, suicidal. This weekend is the first time I've felt truly alive, optimistic and connected to the world in a long time. If that makes me cringe, so be it.

The Coronation has been a triumph for beauty. The beauty of Westminster Abbey, the carriages, the crowns, the swords, the clothes. the music, the singing, the history.
It was a ceremony with its roots deep in history yet reflective of the country as it is at the moment and looked forward to the future.
I hope you continue your recovery - fill your life with joy!

It was really well produced and moved along at a pretty brisk pace. Lionel Ritchie was impressive, for a guy in his 70s, and I normally don't care for Katy Perry but she acquitted herself well here. Take That were entertaining, the crowd clearly knew their oeuvre and loved singing along.
Had been wondering about the lack of classic British rockers, who seemed to jump up every time the late Queen had an event. Rod Stewart, Brian May and the like were notable no-shows. Eric Clapton has previously spoken of his friendship with Charles and Camilla so was surprised he wasn't there. Was Steve Winwood a last-minute addition? He is Camilla's sister Annabel's in-law, his daughter is married to Ben Eliot. His grandson was one of the pageboys holding Camilla's robes at the coronation.

I was wondering that too, R70. The Kinks, The Who, The Stones, Rod Stewart, Def Leppard? Boy George, the Pet Shop Boys, Depeche Mode? Harry Styles? Spice Girls?? Damon Albarn/Gorillaz would have been fantastic up there. So many questions.
Clearly they were going for a very G-rated, family-friendly vibe. Themes of triumph, love, community, joy, etc. Honestly it was kind of perfect, which I was not expecting it to be. (But you can't help but mourn for the death of rock and roll sometimes!)

That is very interesting about Steve Winwood. I just watched a doc about Camilla (liking her more and more all the time). Her nephew Ben Elliot gave good talking head. He's cute and seems sharp. You're saying he is married to Steve Winwood's daughter, R70?

One thing I've been noticing since Queen Elizabeth died and was demonstrated clearly tonight, the royals are more comfortable "letting loose" in public now. We would never have seen the royals get out of their seats and dance at a concert during Elizabeth's reign.

r72 yes, Ben is married to Winwood's daughter. Charles and Camilla were at their wedding several years ago, so they have met Winwood.
I think they were going for a light musical vibe, they didn't want a lot of loud rock music. Charles was never a rock or pop fan, that was Diana mostly.

What's with George? ^^^
He's 9. And like every other child his age, has never heard of Take That, Lionel Richie. Steve Winwood or even the Muppets. Everyone older than him has never heard of the rest of the line-up
Katy Perry may have resonated with a girl the same age as him, but even that is highly unlikely.

R80, my point was that he didn't sit up even to watch his father, even when Charlotte elbowed him. Surely he has heard of Prince William?
Charlotte was singing along with Katy Perry's first number, so you're right about a girl that age being into it. Mind you, she seemed alert all night and conscious of the excitement of the occasion itself. George may have been sulking, but he just looked signed-out. I suppose he could have been tired after the strain of his role in the Coronation.
