Thank you BBC for this coverage. The UK is great because of its people in the Commonwealth of Nations. God bless us.

[@lizontheshore]

I’m still getting used to not seeing HRH 💜 at these ceremonies🥲. Same for dancing in God’s house, I’m old fashioned sorry! I understand it’s Commonwealth Day! Proud of Prince William’s representation & support of the King as well as the rest of the family💞

[@sambillings7277]

I'm proud of THE QUEEN representing The King as it was actually the Queen standing in for the king that been made clear! Prince William and other royals were supporting our Queen today while the Queen stood in for the king!!!! I'm old fashioned as well but as for dancing in god's house that didn't bother me I don't believe in god, however I'm a firm believer in the monarchy and im a royalist and I believe in the commonwealth! God save the Queen! God save the King!

[@emilerose1424]

I tend to be more reserved as well, so prefer a more staid ceremony. But if England didn't want "dancing in God's house" then England should have been more careful about whose countries it invaded to colonize. Some cultures take it literally to "make a joyful noise unto the Lord."

[@sambillings7277]

@@emilerose1424 commonwealth countries want to join the commonwealth, there not colonizes! The countries that join the commonwealth are all part of family with king Charles head of the commonwealth, I as a Brit is happy that so many countries want to join through different countries own free will. The commonwealth is also a legacy to our late beloved Queen Elizabeth!!

[@kīwētin1]

​@@sambillings7277I live in so called Canada and as an Indigenous person, yes, we were fully colonized. Canada, the word, is actually an nēhiyawēwin (Cree) word meaning 'it is clean'. Not so much anymore. So there you have it, a little bit of history for you. We signed our treaties with the Crown so no one here that is Indigenous really wants the monarchy to go anywhere any time soon.

[@sambillings7277]

@@kīwētin1 yes learnt something there I appreciate that! And we are the same mind on the monarchy, I'm a royalist, monarchies, I support The King and especially The Queen I think queen Camilla is marvellous, here in Britain we are proud of the commonwealth and it started with 7 (I think) nations in 1949 under King George VI and still going with 52 nations with his grandson King Charles III the service was yesterday was brilliant and to see the talent that our commonwealth has is brilliant!

[@nicolelawless9942]

Hope you had a good time, I’ll never forget the outstanding service that Woody.EXE has done today for Wales for the 75th anniversary. The fans of him were saying I looked so traumatised when i attended today and Woody.EXE finally released a statement out addressing my fans that I was recovering from watching the most traumatic war movie of all time and my fans have never seen me like that before. I was also concerned about Charles too

[@bensbusbahnberlin8317]

I‘m wondering why the Prince of Wales and The Princess Royal didn‘t bow/curtsy to HM The Queen. I mean I know, they don’t have to if they‘ve seen each other before that day, but they, greeting them didn’t seem to be the second time this day (to my opinion). Could someone explain this to me please?

[@uc3698]

Maybe because they are above her, and it’s Charles who is the king and Camilla is just a consort.

[@johnking5174]

She is a Queen Consort, she is not head of state and she is not supreme governor of the church, so they don't need to bow to her, only to King Charles

[@rickardnyberg4899]

Their cars all came from Buckingham Palace so i’m sure they had already seen each other

[@rickardnyberg4899]

@@uc3698But Camilla has the prejudicate of ”Her Majesty” while they are only ”Royal Highness’ ” so they are not above her even if Charles is absent… The only one who is above Camilla is Charles… Should Charles die before her, then William and Catherine will come above her, but Camilla would be nr 3 in rank for the rest of her life then…

I have no doubt that she would have been in a wheelchair by now, and sending (then Prince) Charles as her representative on a near constant basis. Even moreso than she already did. But he would have never become Prince Regent, not in a million years.

PRAISE to the Lord, the Almighty, the King of creation; O my soul, praise him, for he is thy health and salvation: come ye who hear, brothers and sisters draw near, praise him in glad adoration. Praise to the Lord, who o’er all things so wondrously reigneth, shelters thee under his wings, yea, so gently sustaineth: hast thou not seen all that is needful hath been granted in what he ordaineth? Praise to the Lord, who doth prosper thy work, and defend thee; surely his goodness and mercy here daily attend thee; ponder anew all the Almighty can do, he who with love doth befriend thee. Praise to the Lord, who, when tempests their warfare are waging, who, when the elements madly around thee are raging, biddeth them cease, turneth their fury to peace, whirlwinds and waters assuaging. Praise to the Lord! O let all that is in me adore him! All that hath life and breath come now with praises before him! Let the Amen sound from his people again: gladly for ay we adore him.

His mother wouldn't stand there, they were divorced. Countless children in this world have divorced parents.

[@kayflower49]

Not the time or the place to talk like this. He’s probably more worried about his father and his wife at the moment.

[@kayflower49]

He is more concerned for his father and his wife at the moment than to have thoughts like that. And so should you.

[@AlexandrinaVictoria1819]

Crybaby much?

[@rickardnyberg4899]

I’m sure that William is mature enough to respect his fathers choice of wife just like his father respected his choice of Catherine…. Charles and Diana was divorced when she died so she would not have been there anyway !

That was lovely. I really enjoyed the service. Loved seeing the ladies in their fashion. They all looked so very happy and in good spirits. Wonderful to see. The Queen was such a treat in blue, beautiful colour on her. Princess Anne was a fashionable surprise. Just loved that brilliant coat. Prince Edward and Sophie looked well rested and in good health. I especially liked how Edward kept his head up taking in the music and the words. So many time the Royal family will bury their heads down. No doubt so their expressions cannot be misconstrued but Edward looked like he was quite enjoying the service. Does anyone know if William believes in God? I see him in attendance at special events but I don't know if he ever attends on any regular basis like other Royals. I'd rather he had faith than merely saw it as tradition.
