Whatever they choose to wear, someone somewhere is bound to be unhappy - they can't win, and I hope they know it and wear whatever they like to wear and do not bow to pressure to appease others.

most of us know this worry

EPHRAIM HARDCASTLE: King is taking it easy to stop fingers swelling up

EPHRAIM HARDCASTLE: Officials don't want any problems when the Archbishop of Canterbury has to place the Coronation Ring on the fourth finger of his right hand.

www.dailymail.co.uk

but they have butter on stand by to get the corrination ring on

This is Queen Victoria's Coronation ring, which is even smaller than William IV's. It was wrongly made to fit her pinky and had to be forced by the Archbishop on her ring finger. Queen Victoria was not amused and had to keep her hand in cold water to take it off after the Coronation.

William IV's ring is larger and is the only one that has been worn by subsequent Monarchs. It has a simpler design of the band and a more oblong sapphire compared to QV's octagonal one.

Pictured together with Queen Adelaide's ring, which Camilla is expected to wear:

Queen Elizabeth II wouldn't have approved...red nail polish...

Queen Elizabeth II wouldn't have approved...red nail polish...

When Queen Mary saw Princess Marina's red nails, she said 'My husband wouldn't approve of that', to which Marina replied 'Mine does'.
I never believed this rule anyways. After all, Lilibet's dear friend Daisy is known for her bright red nails.

Perhaps Daisy, being a good friend of King Charles III, is not attending the coronation in person so soon after her surgery?

Coronation invitations through the ages

From King George III to King Charles III, the invites capture hundreds of years of royal history.

www.bbc.com

King Charles will be 74 when he is crowned on 6 May, but his invitation speaks to his progressive and green connection with the natural world.
His coronation invite was designed by Andrew Jamieson, a heraldic artist and manuscript illuminator whose work is inspired by the chivalric themes of Arthurian legend. Mr Jamieson is a Brother of the Art Workers' Guild, of which the King is an honorary member.
Reflecting the King's many years of environmental campaigning, the artwork for the coronation invitation uses the folklore figure of the "green man", with features made from ivy, hawthorn and oak leaves.
The original artwork for the invitation was hand-painted in watercolour and gouache.
In touch with the King's green credentials, the design will be reproduced and printed on recycled card, with gold foil detailing.
According to Buckingham Palace it is a symbol of spring and rebirth which celebrates a new reign.
The design also includes images of the natural world, including wildflowers, birds and insects native to the UK, as well as national and heraldic emblems.

Why no leeks for Wales?

What do we call Pavlos now? He's not really King Pavlos since there is no Greek Monarchy anymore. Will he take the Romanian approach as "Custodian of the Crown?" What about Marie Chantal's title?

French President Macron's trip to Amsterdam and The Hague is the first state visit by a French leader since Jacques Chirac 23 years ago and underscores the close links between the Netherlands and France and the two leaders

I guess the president and Brigitte already had their outfit picked out for Charles and Camila
