Charles will be crowned in a surprisingly uninterrupted ceremony since his coronation Edgarthe first king ever England’, in 973. But the gilded rituals that called the nation into existence a thousand years ago are now as vibes as the Met Gala in New York or the NMACC launch party in Mumbai. Is there any way this fancy dress can stand out from the crowd? Yes, she has a much older fanbase. Not only is Charles 74 to Elizabeth’s 27 at the moment of coronation, there is now a significant generational divide in support of continuing the monarchy. For a lot of youngsters, their favorite part of coronation is the three-day weekend, which means extra time at the bars.
Unfortunately, the only way some of them can push the larger beer mark over the weekend is to skip two meals during the week. Even the cost of living crisis in the UK has left teachers and nurses queuing at food banks. Even when seeing chariots of gold, scarlet robes, swan feathers, et al in The Crown’s version of things is a happy diversion, the real-life extravagance of the Windsors can lead to inequality too painfully.
In pondering what this mighty tension between greatness and hardship might arouse, remember the stormy fortunes of the two ancestors from whom the new king took his name. Charles I kept rubbing parliament the wrong way and paid for it with his head. Charles II He was a scandalous “merry king” who died with no less than 13 children without a legitimate heir. Between these two, 1649-60, England was a republic. The coronation of Charles III is a gigantic PR stage to convince his country not to want to return to this fate. Will he succeed in appearing as “the king of the people”? Will you be calling for refugee choirs and NHS workers doing for the needy? maybe. Or maybe Adele Harry Stiles I read the general mood better, at RSVPing no.
