Prince Charles' coronation in no longer secret planning stages: report
From the Dept. of How Do I Get Tickets:
 The coronation of Prince Charles is reportedly already being planned, in secret preparations for his accession to the British throne following the death of Queen Elizabeth II. The Sunday Times said the Duke of Norfolk, who as earl marshal is historically responsible for coordinating the coronation, was planning to modernize the ceremony, notably by adding a role for non-Christian religious leaders in the ceremony.I wonder which non-Christian religious leaders they are planning to appease create a role for? |
"A lot has happened since (the queen's) coronation in 1953. There will be a large number of differences. I don't mind the word modernizing," he was quoted as saying. "I have been secretly planning and secretly thinking and secretly consulting and secretly liaising," the duke said. But he also stressed that the sovereign, now 78, was still in good health and not likely to cede anytime soon to her 56-year-old son. The Sunday Times said Buckingham Palace and Clarence House, the office of the prince of Wales, confirmed the review of the coronation operations but referred to it as "contingency planning".| Now I'm wondering if Fred needs to pull the vulture jpeg out of the mothballs and dust it off... |
