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?

They remain Crown Prince and Crown Princess.

well i missed the memo
the quest list will be more similar to a royal wedding than QEii's corrination 70 years ago
so kings and Queens will be on the quest lists, not heir apparents (excuse spelling)

Will foreign royals be attending King Charles’ coronation?

Queen Letizia and King Felipe are reportedly expected to attend King Charles' coronation.

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

Let's focus on the diamonds on display, not Macron's faux pas (again!).
Laurentien was there two, wearing the laurel tiara and Maxima's modern (Arabian?) earrings.


Are Brigitte's earrings GRAFF? I think they have a similar design.

the Daily mail is just foccusing on the clothes and not the event

The Ateneo De Madrid was founded at the beginning of the 19th century.

During this time, political, social and cultural turmoil took place between 1808 and 1814 when the Napoleonic invasion occurred.
The event which was held to commemorate the centenary of the first Casa Del Libro bookshop.

Another French State Visit, another pair of blown up sleeves


*the French MUST change the sash to a more narrow version. This male size looks ridiculous on women.

It is reported that the coronation attire is morning coats, military uniforms and morning dress for the ladies. As such, no tiaras for guests? Is this true..say it ain’t so! Will there be a formal dinner(s) for visiting dignitaries?

im sure there is a function for commonwealth represesntatives

also foreign royality (that might have tiaras but will we see pictures?)
especially as Kings and Queens seem to have been invited this time around
I read somewhere the King is planning an early night so maybe Princess Anne or Prince William is hosting

The reception on Friday is for foreign heads of state (and their +1). It will probably be lounge suit/cocktail dress for those attending.
I still have some hope left that the dress code might include tiaras for the big day, but I fear they might go for working/non-working royals nonsense.

There's nothing planned (that we know of) for the evening of the Coronation, there might be a big white tie banquet that hasn't been announced yet.

Yup, that's what's been reported.

Hopefully, there will be some kind of banquet during the weekend, however, I have not read about it.

the gutter press obsessed with costs of things purchases long long ago by long dead people

King Charles's Coronation crown is more expensive than Kate's necklace

The Royal Family own lots of expensive jewels that are often on show at state dinners and royal weddings. Financial researchers have informed Express.co.uk of the most expensive jewels in the royal collection, which even beat Kate Middleton's £66million necklace.

That article made me both laugh and sad at the same time!
They speak of the Imperial State Crown, yet the pic is of the Imperial Crown of India. They mention that the "second most expensive jewel" in the Windsor vault is the Nizam necklace (late Art Deco by Cartier), yet completely omit the Cullinan III & IV brooch, which Camilla is set to wear as part of her Coronation Crown and which contains more than 150 cts in just two simple stones.
Seriously, these click bait articles can't be called journalism. I can point to a few IG accounts and forums that that can give a better estimate of the collection and actually reveal an interesting fact or two about the jewels based on research.

My share of wise words for the week - don't read this article.

this is why i do not trust huge swathes of the media -including in NZ
if they cant get something simple like this correct -that we know is wrong -how can i trust them on things i know nothing about

today i read an article about whom Gary calls the bad brother and half way down the aricle they are calling H Prince William
