The coronation of King Charles III and Queen Camilla was a spectacle to behold, with multicultural representation and a blended family on the balcony.
Say this for the British royal family. They know how to keep us entertained. First there was the Platinum Jubilee that provided hours of live television programming. Sadly, in a matter of months, Queen Elizabeth II was dead, and her funeral was not just an emotive occasion, but a prime example of the kind of pageantry that only the Brits can pull off. Now, a few short months later, we have the coronation of King Charles III and Queen Camilla.
The star of the Coronation was undoubtedly the Lord President of the Privy Council, Penny Mordaunt, who was tasked with carrying a heavy sword at different angles. (Twitter/@pennymordaunt)
It was refreshing to see a blended family on the balcony of Buckingham House, as Camilla’s grandchildren walked on to stand beside her and the King. (Reuters)
