I mean it's clearly a social media strategy. Instagram and Tiktok will be full of people, in equal measure, repeating this bollocks, putting their own 'hilarious' spin on it, or ranting against it.

But yeah, hilarious that this is their idea of 'modernizing' the royal family.

Thankfully, I don't live in the UK, and genuinely couldn't even tell you when it is. I'll find out when I see it on the news. Or work gives us a day off (which they did for the queen's death).

Isn't on a Saturday
 
Irrespective of my views on monarchy, I think big impressive coronations made sense when we were an imperial power, they projected something politically important out to the world.

However, now as we become increasingly less important on the world stage, I worry that an event like this might exacerbate some of the increasingly negative perceptions of us. Shorn of the actual power symbolised by previous coronations, rather than project something positive it potentially makes us look like a backwards country in thrall to our past which frankly is the last thing we need right now.

I agree, it also for me highlights racist vibes. Colonial power and a reminder that those huge diamonds etc. were stolen from victims of colonialism. When roughly a quarter of the worlds landmass and population. Imperial subjects, by the million were controlled mostly through the barrel of an Enfield rifle. Exactly what Putin is doing now but on a much larger scale.
