Love the fact Prince William is wearing forget-me-note (one of his mother’s favourite flowers) in his button hole at #Coronation BP garden party. And was just as delighted to meet Dame Elizabeth (from ) as she, him! And apparently Kate is the strict parent!!

And of course, I too always wear Princess Diana’s gold Cartier tank watch (worth around £40,000) when I go hiking. Always get the gems out with the hiking boots… 🥾

It’s interesting (must be a coincidence surely…?) that it’s always the same photographic agency that get these ‘off-duty’ & ‘candid’ (ie pap) pix of Meghan.

“It was hard to escape the sense of the absurd as a 21st-century democracy relived a medieval fantasy…
Luckily, for once the pen with which he had to sign his name worked perfectly. Otherwise he might have snapped.”

Absolutely loving Penny Mordaunt in bespoke Safiyaa with the fern motif embroidery of the Privy Council. She has such an important role as Lord President (of the PC) & also Leader of the Commons. Magnificent sword-bearing!! 🗡

Love this! C&C have recorded a special announcement to be played to commuters on the rail & tube networks as they travel to the #Coronation celebrations (and anywhere else) over the weekend. Very amusing from 👑 Charles: “And remember, please mind the gap….”

As I pointed out to Polly; King Charles will be swearing homage to us as our public servant. He takes that duty extremely seriously: the theme of the #Coronation is ‘Called to Serve’ & in the King’s oath on Sat he “solemnly promises” to serve.

So lovely to meet this morning to chat about the #Coronation & Homage of the People (or People’s Pledge as I’m calling it!). Archaic & misguided or innovative & inclusive? Certainly mixed opinions ; thanks for having us and great to be part of the team today!

Millions will be asked to say a pledge of allegiance to the King. argues it's 'not archaic' but 'innovative.' While says 'It's not going to happen.'
Is it really realistic for people to say it in their TV lounges? -

The BBC has commissioned a Panorama prog & poll on the popularity of the monarchy; with almost 5000 adults asked it’s a good sample & highlights higher polling with 65+ age group.More unpopular with younger people amid perceptions of attitudes towards race

Well this is fascinating… and the timing too!! The king wrote to Meghan after THAT 💣 Oprah I/view expressing his sadness & M replied. Key phrase which sums up whole saga; ‘their feeling that their family plays second fiddle to the Waleses’. Great read

The Duchess of Sussex expressed her concerns about unconscious bias in the Royal family in a letter to the King, The Telegraph can reveal.
It is understood that the correspondence was sent in the wake of the March 2021 Oprah Winfrey interview

"While we do not comment on private finances, your figures are a highly creative mix of speculation, assumption & inaccuracy" This response shows the arrogance of royal press management & a system exempting a core institution of state from accountability

Our social media culture rewards unpleasant qualities such as narcissism and self-absorption and proclaims them good. Something doesn’t become good practice just because it is common practice.

Reports continue to appear - in print, online and on TV - that a royal countess was formerly obliged to curtsey to a royal duchess. Nonsense. HRHs do not curtsey to HRHs. HRHs curtsey - or bow - only to kings and queens.

Investing in our 0-5 year-olds is probably one of THE most important issues facing government today. It is the most important time in all our lives & dictates the adults we become. We need society to prioritise both this age & the care-givers who look after them
