[@alkante2962]

14' : the lady has got the point. People keep this quaint form of gouvernance for a reason, the pomps and the theatrics! Beware not to slim down the institution too much! Stay dignified and appear humble and attentive to the people but keep some objective visibility, otherwise what is the purpose ?! Going all margaretha of Danemark would be ridiculous, stripping her own son and his wife who served her well and decently from their titles is a major fault. This episode is quiteinteresting regarding the coronation and mr tindall (who is a big opportunist) although you all look a bit bored and tired, lacking the usual flame.

Well as an Irish woman who whole heartedly followed the 10 days of mourning after the passing of QE2 and was blown away by the magnificent funeral I would be so disappointed by a slimmed down coronation. KC hopefully will have at least 20/25 yrs on the Throne which means for myself and many we won't be around to see Prince William and Princess Catherine become king and Queen. ( 😭 ) I know I'm not a British taxpayer but I plan to visit Britain as a tourist again very soon after the funeral. So fingers crossed the coronation will be as beautiful you should absolutely go all out. I'm sure billons will tune in .. show it all off xx

[@stacias.3830]

I'm a year older than Diana was and I never thought William would find a wife who could live up to her as a fashion icon. And he didn't. He found someone who is even better. Camilla may be the new Queen, but Catherine is the new royal fashion queen. She proved that with the gold number she wore to the James Bond premier. She was absolutely stunning.

[@Kezia.G]

Diana's fashion is overrated. Many of her clothes are dated, but you can wear what Catherine wears in a 100 years, and it'd still look chic. Catherine is more like Jackie Kennedy.

[@csmith63]

​@@anitawilkinson6943 BS!!! You've got this the wrong way around; SHE was the first reason anyone was ever really excited about milquetoast Charles, who couldn't get a picture of him doing anything dashing and really sell it--from being invested with the ping-pong ball crown to sailing away on his first command that saw him promptly out of the Royal Navy! Meanwhile, the first picture of Diana "to go viral" 80s style (as in get printed in publications far and wide, including Newsweek in the US, where as a kid I saw it in one of those collected tidbits-of the-week pages up front) wasn't her standing beside her future ex-husband; it was the one that exposed she wasn't wearing a slip when the sun suddenly shifted as she widened her stance and held a toddler on her hip! She didn't need Charles or William to have every straight male thinking "MILF" from that alone, but then in addition to the way her long legs looked was the way she played those eyes beneath her hats and bangs that read the kind of demure but with comedic timing that you just knew had something more was there, especially with her alternating sparkling smile and pouty model-like expressions that got her lots of magazine covers where no one really cared what she was wearing long before they cared what she was wearing down the aisle!!!!

[@ldawley5425]

Interesting that Princess Anne can travel without major protection--and can carry her own bags! I am also puzzled about the book release, the constant bad mouthing of the family and at the same time PLANNING a year of reconciliation! You really couldn't make this up--first we are going to damage the family as much as we can, then will take a year to reconcile with you!!!! What is wrong with their thinking? Is it just me who finds this ludicrous?

[@sylviaemberton6489]

An American here. I can understand the shortening of the coronation but hopefully it won't compromise the serious and spiritual nature of the ceremony. I think the peers and their ladies should put on their full regalia for the occasion. I can't understand why you would have such beautiful items for such sacred (and rare) occasions that may come once in a lifetime for the peers . And yes, Queen Camilla deserves the crown as she is now the queen. I agree with Richard Eden; there's always a complainer in the bunch with an axe to grind. You can't please everybody. Ermine are simply short tailed weasels in winter coats and are not an endangered species. But there are some fabulous fake furs on the market if a compromise must be made. I'm looking forward to the coronation. Thank you for your insightful commentaries on the British Royal Family.

If KC desires for his reign to be a success, then he must separate the two. You realize that if H is invited, then by default his wife will be attending with him, wearing a tiara? If KC allows this to happen, his reign will effectively be over, and pronto. And rightly so. I've supported the Monarchy for decades.

It was simply a very authentic statement about his feelings instead of making it into a big deal.

The Queen Mother chose the styling of her crown why shouldn’t Queen Camilla? Wouldn’t it be lovely to see the Burmese Ruby rose motif as the centerpiece of a new crown for a new millennium?

[@FloridaGator76]

I’m from Florida I’m United States , I love your show. ❤

[@starrycrown]

Simple solutions using new, natural, and creative things: Use synthetic ermine and English walnut oil! Design a new crown for Camilla, made by a British jeweler. Richard, you’re a dear, but YOU wear the civit oil on your forehead, and let King Charles wear the right end of something “fresher.” Great show.

[@LotusLady9]

Curious choice for Mike Tindall to join a reality show. I hope it won't be a slide down the dignity pole. Between H & M's high profile antics, a lower profile might be better. Lady C isn't part of the royal family.

[@janetclaireSays]

I agree. I really admire Mike Tindall and how he has managed to balance being connected to the royal family with having his own life and the freedom to do his own thing. He has managed to stay real while maintaining respect and keeping his dignity. Reality shows do not support dignity.

[@LotusLady9]

@@janetclaireSays Yes. If they aren't hurting for money, why do it? I don't know their financial situation and perhaps I sound judgmental. The royal family need dignity and a certain amount of pomp to survive.

[@mrs.herculepoirot7763]

I agree, this is a bad choice and I'm surprised at him.

[@wendyhorsfield6035]

He's a man's man, doesn't work for the monarchy so can't damage it, he's the type to get stuck in I think he will do very well

[@PS_testing321...]

I admire Mike and Zara, as they have been successful in their own careers and behave with dignity. I'm sure the Queen loved having Mike around, as he is a grounded, normal citizen. I just want him to remain dignified, but I am sure he will. He has a lovely wife, three children, and his mother-in-law and Sir Tim to think about in his choice of actions.

[@mayberelevant3237]

As to the New Queens coronations crown , I do agree with Richard but… I think Camilla will wear a different crown and make it her own 🤔

[@reneec.venegas6560]

Kind of like from rags to riches, from adulteress to queen. She should wear a new crown.

[@georgefrazer2231]

Why is the 'fashion' sense of royal Princesses 'so' important to the media? Yes many ladies love to 'follow' the fashion choices of Royalty. What we have lost is a sense of respect for members of the Royal family. The Princess of Wales is a 'senior' member of the Royal family and needs to be seen and respected as such. The British Monarchy is an institution that needs to be respected. Yes it is 'traditional' but if it is just regarded as a 'photo opportunity' in order to sell more newspapers, then it has been turned into a 'commodity' and is not being given the due respect that should be given. The United Kingdom is a 'Kingdom. It is not a Republic and as such, the King and members of the Royal family should be treated with respect including by media writers and photographers. Pop stars etc etc are not members of the Royal family.

I so hope the Coronation is full of all the pomp and ceremony, as in days gone by. Our country loves all the Regalia. It won't be the same if its a watered down Coronation. There is nothing better better than a coming together to celebrate.

[@patriciarutter2761]

Sick of Harry and his side kick

[@ida1751]

To RICHARD EDEN... you seem to have forgotten that now King Charles actually made quip about "perhaps" William and Catherine will eventually move to the "big house" (referring to Windsor Castle... I see it as only fitting now that they are Prince and Princess of Wales and with William,becoming heir to the throne... hardly fitting to cram their family into a house that does not even have room for a nanny...

[@abbatrouble]

I think not having room for a nanny is exactly what William and Catherine wanted for their children - as normal a life as possible while they are children.

[@terryperusse8328]

Just think of all the embroiderers and other craftspeople who will be employed for a coronation. Support your local artisan! Royal School of Needlework rocks!

[@blr4076]

The current Princess of Wales, although 10 or more years older than the photos of the late Princess of Wales is more elegant and more beautiful.

[@abbatrouble]

The late princess of Wales had a nose which was too large for her to ever be a classic beauty!

[@sharonworley5389]

Love your show I’ve been watching for quit awhile now love your guests Richard is great. Wish your show was longer. Jo I think you are an amazing interviewer.

[@NathalieATT]

I would like to see the full fanfare. If they keep slimming down then they will slowly end up like everyone else, regular people. I don't think they want to go down that path. Everyone in the world, including myself, waits for the big fanfare. And I'm American. I shared the love with my French grandmother. If they take it away, then what's the point?

[@Imogene9]

I agree! No problem with a shorter Coronation, but please give us the “magic” of Royalty! It’s an historical event and I am looking forward to it, I am thrilled: please, no disappointment! I am a Swiss in love with pageantry and British uniforms and robes and coronets.

[@toffeelover2558]

It’s interesting when listening to William I had the feeling he was referring to Harry suffering, having to face huge changes and having challenges dealing with it, not being prepared how to deal with this situation…..it did not occur to me he was referring to himself…

[@bekindtoyourmother]

With respect, could Jo please use Catherine’s proper name, rather than Kate ? There’s been a subtle drive to get the media to call her by her proper name, particularly now that she has a new title. Please. Thank you.

[@jicolourist]

I agree the royal family should NOT go woke!

[@Rossiegirl]

The lady commentator....as always with the random, eyeorish, remarks. Of course the robes from 70 years ago won't have 'disintegrated', of course they can design something that won't include real ermine. I bet she'd just be happy if everyone wore morning suits....the woman has no understanding of British pomp and ceremony. Latest comment on Camilla wearing the controversial crown, "it's just not Camilla", silly comment. She always focuses on the negative, Eden is much more clued in. I also hope that the decision isn't taken to leave BP or to make Balmoral a museum. KC will be making a poor choice to abandon the heart of the country.

I am astounded that Civet cats are still kept for the properties of their anal glands. This was traditionally an ingredient used in all expensive perfumes, but I thought the practice had ceased. Poor civets.

The last batch of Coronation Oil was made after the Deanery was bombed in 1941 (I think that was the year) and the oil was destroyed. It's not like they are making this anymore. It was made before the practice was stopped.

Love the idea of a design competition for the robes Richard. Could all Commonwealth artists take part? I'm in with bells on!!!! No bells on the robes though - I promise.

[@sjl5076]

"WOKE" Sick to death of this word and the people using it as an excuse and also fueling the constant fire it sparks. I personally would love to see the whole shebang to be honest, I think we as a country and people want it as it is our history, tradition and who we are, its our culture and its grown with each monarch and new age.

[@kenatl9435]

There is no need to use a different crown for the Queen Consort. Each Queen Consort Crown for several generations has been set with the Koh-i-Noor Diamond. In 1937, Queen Elizabeth (later the Queen Mother) used the crown with the Koh-i-Noor and Queen Mary used a stone to substitute for the Koh-i-Noor because she was still living. So, they might switch out the stone, but there is no reason not to use the whole crown.

[@rgw5830]

Diana was adorable but watching so many photos in quick succession I fear she may have been 'given to moods' - unfortunately. Sometimes joyous, sometimes sullen. Whereas Catherine still shows us the contented child at her father's knee during her childhood in Jordan. Interesting.

[@abbatrouble]

Diana was moody and emotionally unstable while Catherine is well balanced. Catherine also has much better taste in clothes and is much prettier!

[@chadwalton8072]

Regarding the Coronation. Less is more. There is certainly enough bells and whistles that a trimmed down Coronation, less people, shorter, can still be very beautiful and traditional.
