The Absolutely Fabulous actress, who provided commentary for Sky News for the Queen's Jubilee last year, attended the service at Westminster Abbey in May as a guest of Charles and Camilla. We haven’t had the best history after that little war”, he joked, referring to the American Revolution, “but people still like the history. The theatre of it, the pomp and the circumstance.”
The evening will include orchestral moments, spoken-word interludes, dancing, songs sung by the Coronation Choir and a virtual choir, which sounds like different singers from across the commonwealth Zooming in for a number. There will be a massive light show with lasers and drones. feel about Charles?

These include the Coronation Glove, worn to hold the Sovereign’s Sceptre, and the Girdle (or Coronation Sword Belt).

Stand proud waving your giant flag as you celebrate the King's coronation. Wear it as a cape, wrap over, top, dress, skirt, or hang it up indoors or outdoors as a fantastic party decoration. Still, after the queen’s funeral, he enjoyed a boost in public opinion: 63 percent of Brits surveyed in one postmortem YouGov poll said he would do a good job; fast-forward, and a YouGov poll released in early April (by an anti-monarchy group, to be clear) suggested that just over half of U.K. adults were not interested in Charles’s coronation.
