Did you miss last weekend's #Coronation?

 

[VIDEO] Yeah I know this is America and we don't care about those royals we broke away from them over two centuries ago. Either way this is a fascinating look at how the British does things.

As you know Charles' mother the Queen Elizabeth II passed away last September and by right the throne of the United Kingdom fell to Charles III who was the Prince of Wales. His coronation as King took place on May 6, 2023 some eight months after his own ascension to the throne.

The snippets I have seen is almost part governmental and part religious services. Charles III is not only the head of the British state, he's also head of the state churches of England ( that is the Church of England and the Church of Scotland). He has both a temporal and a governmental or secular role in the United Kingdom.

As you see his Queen Camilla was also crowned, however, she's only the Queen Consort as she is the wife of King Charles III. 

Well, anyone have any thoughts?
