I'm watching the coronation of King Charles III, not because I'm a monarchist (I'm a republican) but because I'm 61, not in good health and this may be my only chance to see one.

Can't help wondering, though, what non-British people make of all this flummery,

I didn't bother watching; I watched (most of) Liz's funeral, because I thought she'd been sort-of lumbered with the job and carried it out, mostly, with a good bit of dignity. Chuck is a non-entity. Anne would have been better! (Though she'd have turned it down had it been offered, I'm sure.)

If Chuck conks it after a few years (he's 74, isn't he?), we can watch Wills's coronation (assuming he has one)!
