That's a milestone. Best wishes to her and many happy returns!

Agreed. She put her hair up and didn't wear real flowers, but her headdress and that of Sophie Wessex looked like the royal version of something you'd pick up at JOANN or Michaels at Christmas. I'm afraid without bling and toffs in robes and some serious bending of knees the business just looks like a wedding. Camilla looked great and you have to hand it to someone who has stuck with the same hairdo she had in 1975. The music was really wonderful, though, and I tune in to these royal affairs just as much to hear the music and see the horses and precision marching as anything else. The music and the military were in great form. John Eliot Gardiner and Antonio Pappano in the pre-coronation segment, the Monteverdi Choir, Terfel singing Kyrie Eleison in Welsh, Yende, Roderick Williams, the Ascension Choir, on and on - it was just a feast.

There have been small anti-monarchist protests at some of C&C's public appearances, which would not have happened in the late Queen's last years (although she had her own spells of unpopularity). In other news, Kate may choose to channel her inner flower child rather than wear a tiara.
