Coverage starts in 15 minutes, will be wall to wall on every network tonight. Mad Charlie to be crowned as King, is there a public holiday in it for us? No. The scum.

The Celtic fans say it best.

 
Wow! Wonder how long the monarchy will survive?

I honestly think it has only survived this long because Queen Elizabeth II was so loved and was a decent and even an inspiring person. No one wanted to make a move on the monarchy during her reign.

I don't know what it would take to end it. They own a lot of stuff and I'm not sure what it would mean for all that if the monarchy ended. I guess it really depends on how it ends.

I would bet it will last at least one more monarch after Charles.

So Charles plus one and then maybe it ends? Yeah, I could see that. I think QEII really did a huge benefit to the whole thing and it could mean two more generations of rule.

If that's true I think QEII needs major props and maybe consideration in the monarch hall of fame (she's obviously a first ballot shoe-in, but she needs elevated honors). She really never ****ed up. She was proper as ****. She made many lesser leaders (Trump especially) look like uncultured rubes.

She took rule before I was born. I fully expect to be alive when Charles dies. I don't think I will see William die, but I might. I would certainly get a kick out of little George being coronated. Little **** has been cute as a button and seems sweet. Of course he'd probably be an old grumpy **** before becoming king, but I'd remember when...
 
Post Brexit there is a lot of momentum behind another referendum in Scotland for independence, if the Scots leave the UK, it may become a real issue.


Great statement from the Celtic supporters group.

I watched the coronation, albeit a few hours later. I'm a fan of it all. It must be my almost pure English blood and my having been born there (American Air Force Base). Plus I have no skin in the game now.

Well the Royal family is German...
 
I haven't paid enough attention to the Harry & Meghan drama to take a side, but I do feel sad that the family is so fractured.

Not about Andrew though. He's a POS. I have the newspaper announcing his birth that my mother saved for me. I am just a few months older than him. Pleased to notice today that I still look younger than he does.
 
I actually think it’s cool. Respect for tradition, a look at an older time, etc. I don’t really have any problems with any of this.
