For the coronation usually monarchs don't attend, but what about countries like Spain? They don't really have a heir of age that can attend and sending a former king and queen isn't a really good look...Or like Japan, Naruhito is an emperor and he outranks a king, but there are rumours that he at least will attend, so do you think that everyone will throw the "rule" out of the window and attend such a big party? hahaha

Yeah, I think the rule isn't as strict as people make it out to be and I'm not as sure as I was about who will be attending the coronation.

First there's the countries that are part of the Commonwealth and monarchies in their own right (Brunei, Eswatini, Lesotho, Malaysia, and Tonga) most of which sent the monarch not the heir in 1953. I would not be surprised if they did the same this time around. There are also more countries following the Dutch example of the monarch abdicating as a form of retirement so former reigning monarchs are in the mix in a way they weren't before.

Then you've got the young heirs. For Spain I think it will either be Queen Sofia or Queen Letizia. My dream would be for Queen Letizia to accompany Infanta Leonor since she's underage but both of them go. I wouldn't expect her to wear a tiara or anything and I know it's not going to happen but I can dream. There's also the heirs that are technically of age but still pretty young like Princess Catharina Amalia of the Netherlands, Princess Elisabeth of Belgium, and Prince Moulay Hassan of Morocco. I can't imagine being 19 and attending an event like this on my own. Are they going to send someone else with them or send someone else entirely?

Now we seem to have other sovereigns saying that they are planning on going. I was surprised when Prince Albert told People that him and Princess Charlene would attend because at the last British coronation Prince Rainier III sent his father, Prince Pierre, as Monaco's representative. I was expecting Princess Caroline to go but I'm hoping this means Princess Charlene will finally wear a tiara at a royal event.

A couple of weeks ago there was an article in Aftonbladet where Margareta Thorgren, the head of the Swedish Royal Court's press department, seemed to say that King Carl XVI Gustaf and Queen Silvia are planning to attend the coronation. I assumed that something got lost in translation but now I'm not so sure. They use kungaparet which means the king couple not kronprinsessparet which means the crown princess couple.

I Sverige kröns inte längre kungar, det började med att Gustav V avstod från ceremonin. I Storbritannien kröns däremot prins Charles den 6 maj i Westminster Abbey. Att kröningen kommer att bli lika spektakulär som när hans mamma, drottning Elizabeth, kröntes 1953 är inte troligt. Men det svenska kungaparet kommer att finnas på plats. Det är planen, säger Margareta Thorgren.

In Sweden, kings are no longer crowned, it started when Gustav V refrained from the ceremony. In Great Britain, on the other hand, Prince Charles is crowned on May 6 in Westminster Abbey. That the coronation will be as spectacular as when his mother, Queen Elizabeth, was crowned in 1953 is not likely. But the Swedish royal couple will be there. That is the plan, says Margareta Thorgren.

I didn't see the rumors of Emperor Naruhito attending but now that I read back how Prisma translated this article it does kind of sound like that's a possibility.

So I'm just really not sure about who we're going to see at the coronation.

They probably send the wessexes because they don’t get as much attention as the others

@royal-hair just said something similar: Gibraltar is still a sore subject between UK & Spain, so it was said (at least here in Spain) that after considerations Edward and Sophie were sent because if William and Catherine went it would be a spectacle and the UK Government want to avoid any confrontation with the Spanish Government over a royal visit. So I think that they wanted to keep it kinda low and the Wessex are the couple for that (?)

QVC - "we just got back from Central London, Mackenzie and myself just got back from Central London. We we're doing Royalty and they were like...Bradley, Mackenzie we want the CHI interchangeable wand"

Okay, I know that could be anyone. However it could be Princess Catherine, Princess Beatrice or Eugenie, It could even have been Princess Michael of Kent. Who knows? Maybe Queen Camilla.

Princess Charlotte of Prussia, later Duchess of Saxe-Meiningen. Charlotte was an descendant of Queen Victoria via her mother, Victoria Princess Royal, who was the Queen's daughter. Charlotte's father was Frederick III, German Emperor; her brother later Kaiser Wilhelm II. The photo was taken in late 1860s - early 1870s!

There is something off about Camilla's version of the sapphire tiara. There is some brown fabric behind it that makes it is distracting and messy. Is that the base because it looks crooked and not symmetrical to the tiara. I get that the base needs something to connect to the hair but why such a dark colour? It wasn't the queens as she had been grey for decades and we know that some of her tiaras had a silver/white base.

I really love Queen Camilla in the sapphires and I'm actually liking the tiara more on her than I did on QEII but there is something weird going on behind the tiara. She also shortened the necklace the first time she wore it but then had it lengthened and added the pendant last night. I love that she's already showing a willingness to change around the late Queen's jewelry although I wish she'd worn the matching earrings instead of these modern ones. QEII had the necklace shorted by four sapphire clusters and the largest was turned into the pendant back in the 50s so there's a few more in the vault to play around with.

It looks to me like the hair is fluffed up behind the tiara and part of what we're seeing is a shadow. In the middle picture from the car last night I don't see the big shadow on the left like I do in the bottom picture from inside the event or the top picture from the state banquet last week so I'm wondering if it's something that's not noticeable in person but is visible in pictures because of the flash.

Then there's what looks like a brown pipe cleaner on the right that is not the base of the tiara which is lighter. I'm not really sure what's going on there. @royal-hair any ideas? I think her hairdresser is just doing the same thing they've always done but this tiara is so much more open than her others so we're seeing how the tiara is attached for the first time. Queen Camilla has always had great tiara hair in the past and is capable of pulling off really big ones so I'm confident that this is just a blip as she's getting used to new tiaras.

A rwrb detail I noticed

As Henry rakes his left hand through Alex's curls

Watch Alex/Taylor's shoulders:

His shoulders start to fall.

Henry's hand in Alex's hair relaxes Alex.

Yeah just another detail to go insane over 🫠
