329. Coronations: Pomp and Shambles

What was the most calamitous coronation of all time? Which ceremony does Tom think is the most boring topic he's ever discussed on the podcast? How will King Charles III's big day compare to that of his ancestors?
In the third and final episode, Tom and Dominic answer all these questions as they explore the most recent coronations in British history.
*The Rest Is History Live Tour 2023*:Tom and Dominic are going on an international tour in 2023 and performing in Dublin, Washington D.C. and New York!

I always suspected George IV poisoned his wife.

I want to hear the most boring episode they’ve ever recorded.

These are always so good - thank you. Get Netflex onto these podcasts - the documentaries would be excellent. Would you consider re-editing all the podcasts and adding animation/film ?

Wikipedia luckily had a photo of George V's Dehli Durbar, and which helps to image him waiting to take that crown off: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_V#/media/File:India_Before_the_First_World_War;_George_V_and_Queen_Mary_at_Delhi_Durbar_Q107150.jpg
