Re: Things we did like!
The music was amazing as is the parade back to the palace. I love the outfit of princess Charlotte and Penny Mordaunt looked good too (would have liked a floor length gown but still). She did carry that sword beautifully. I have to say the crowns were less impressive than i had expected. I agree that reusing older garments was both appropriate as well as effective. The most touching moment was the homage of the Prince of Wales. Previous Message I found the service uplifting and moving despite its ancient origins. I liked the mixed attire of The King, a Georgian waistcoat along with what appeared to be military trousers with buckled shoes. I appreciated the recycling of pieces of George VI’s attire, the robe particularly even though the ermine showed its age it was charming. I’m a bigger fan of Queen Mary’s crown with all the arches intact, but it looked marvelous nonetheless on Queen Camilla. I loved seeing St Edward’s crown close up and in such detail, same with The Orb. Seeing some royal ladies and gents in chivalric robes was a nice compromise to us not seeing them in ermine. Anne looked outstanding in the robes of The Thistle. I couldn’t see Zara, I’m curious if she wore her OBE pinned to her dress. Previous Message I live in America. I was looking forward to seeing tiaras and it am so disappointed as other posters are. I was disa3 the The Duchess of Sussex was not attending the coronation. And now lack of tiaras. Previous Message It's a shame when the musicians and singers are dressed in long gowns and white tie but formal representatives are in day dresses as if for a wedding. With Jill Biden, Madame Macron and Ursula von der Leyen all in short dresses i don't expect foreign royals to be in anything bigger. The most glittering jewels so far were the rhinestones on the South African opera singer.
