#1 I think the Tomb ceremonies are indicative that solemnity and purpose are more important than ostentatiousness. In Charles’s case, I think a solemn and purposeful Royal Swirly would fit the bill at an appropriate cost.

#2 If I was about to be coronated, I'd get stupidly drunk at a cheap pub and have a bar girl put my crown on me while I puked.

What else is the point of being King?

#4 Actually I'm with Charles on this one. In a world that is so dumbed-down and coarsened, it would be nice to see the full pomp-and-circumstance panoply.

#13 That outfit reminds me more of African ruling kleptocrats. I guess we now know where that fashion model originated.

#14 Our Royal Coronation! A thriller...
Or rather, a rumble: Camilla,
In leopard resplendent,
Will whip the ascendant
While witch doctors rock the Bismillah...
The ghost of Amin thinks it's killer!
