That's earlier than predicted. I can't wait for all the pageantry.

I am looking forward to seeing it. They said on the news that it will blend 'tradition with modernity' so it will be very interesting to see what they do.

There’s been a fair bit of speculation in the press about how it will be changed from the Queen’s. Definitely something to look forward to.

Oh crap. This is a good problem to have, I realize, but we will be in Italy then! I guess I'll hope I can somehow catch it in between sight seeing.
I was hoping for June and planning to make a day of it with some British food and my (rhinestone) tiara.

I will look forward to it. I wonder if it'll be scaled down at all... I saw it will be scaled down - from 8,000 guests to 2,000, from 3 hrs to 1, something about a gold brick or something not being presented... of course, can I find that article now? NOPE. LOL |

LOL I'm sure, in view of the cost of living crisis, there will some reduction to the scale of things without losing the sense of occasion. |

I'm looking forward to some happy pomp & ceremony for a change after all the recent sadness and hopefully Catherine in a tiara.
On a related topic, I just realised the other day that we probably won't see another "royal wedding" as a massive public event for quite a long time, probably not until George and he could be The Prince of Wales by then.
Based on age, Edward's daughter, Louise should be next to marry but I doubt either of his children will have the big wedding, they seem much more private. None of Anne's grandchildren have titles and Andrew/s girls are married...so that's it until George or Charlotte - which could be 20 years away!

That's earlier than predicted. I can't wait for all the pageantry. Ha, when I read the date I thought it was waaaaaay later than I expected. I hadn't heard any predictions about it though. UK Peas, why is the Coronation date so far away? ETA: Question already asked and answered. Broke my rule of not reading all the replies first! Although I still don't know why it's going to take seven months. |

Although I still don't know why it's going to take seven months. Guessing here, all their diaries are pretty full months in advance so maybe this was the best natural spot. But my main guess is that the chance of the weather being good is better than any of the other months between now and then. At least the Duke of Norfolk will have his driving licence back by then. He arranged the Queen's funeral and is arranging the Coronation, he drove through a set of red traffic lights, while on the phone, all in front of a waiting police car. www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-63037633 |

www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-63037633OMG someone needs to get that dick off the road! What a pompous ASS (from the article): The Earl Marshal, 65, was stopped by police after his BMW cut across the officers' car, going through a red light, the court was told. The officers drove up to his car and saw he was using his mobile phone. He told the officers he was "in communication with his wife", prosecutor Jonathan Bryan said. Mr Bryan told magistrates the highest-ranking duke in England already had nine penalty points on his driving licence due to previous speeding offences and a compulsory endorsement of a further six points, which would lead to a ban. |

I plan on making coronation chicken sandwiches! is this a special recipe, or something you're making up??  somewhat ignorantly, I had no idea it would take that long to arrange. But the weather should be nice, and between now and then, we will have all the 'coronation-lead-up' excitement to keep the interest level going, even here in the US! This will be the first (and probably only) time I'll get to see a British monarch crowned, so I plan on watching! I'm sure Instagram and Pinterest will be filled with tons of decorating and food ideas by then... |

I'm sure most of the coronation planning has been in place for years, with just a few final details to be sorted out, just as the Queen's funeral was planned. With a funeral you can expect international leaders to drop everything to attend. There is less urgency in having the coronation so you can easily give a few months notice.
As now Supreme Governor of the Church of England, I couldn't image King Charles squeezing in a coronation party before Advent and that leaves only a month until Lent starts. Since the weather can't be counted on in January, May is really the earliest to do this.

I really hope the pomp isn't so toned down that they do away with tiaras. I mean I know the main players will have them, but for the Queen's coronation all the royal ladies, aristocracy and I think pretty much anyone woman in attendance who owned a tiara wore one. I really want to see ALL the jewels. It's my favorite part of royal watching. Well that and genealogy, but that doesn't come up so much in watching events. |
