HSH accompanies her husband Prince Albert, 65, for an evening out in Florence where he was gifted a portrait of his mother, the late Princess Grace

She has never been a big jewellery wearer, which is a shame.

There are 8 years between Charles and Daisy. She's been on the throne for 51 years.
The second longest-reigning monarch is Carl XVI Gustaf, who is celebrating 50 years on the Swedish throne this year. His Majesty, who is 2 years older than Charles, is attending the Coronation.

I know as I remember reading about that too, in that the King is having an early night before the big day.

I did not want to say anything but May 5 is my b-day and Chuck and Cammy are planning a very private celebration at Windsor that evening. I wanted to invite you all but I did not want to you feel pressured to bring your best tiara and Pricescope bling overseas. Kenny is going to be my ‘plus 1’ so he can make everyone swoon over his Octavia.

wow.
i thought the Swedish king was much older
i guess ive just known Prince Charles my whole life and remember when he was younger and he's just got older along with the rest of us
i also would have thought the gab with Queen Daisy would have been bigger

back to 2023

The King appeared delighted as he was presented with a £5 coin from a Coronation commemorative range featuring his crowned portrait for the first time.

Charles, 74, curiously examined the currency - the first to be struck - while meeting with the Royal Mint's executive officer, Anne Jessopp and director, Rebecca Morgan, who stopped by for a visit at Windsor Castle.

The monarch, who will officially be crowned next month, wore a grey spring suit as he took in the collection, which includes a 50p, and will be released later this month ahead of the May 6 celebration.



The King's effigy, which was designed by artist and sculptor Martin Jennings and is emblazoned on the highly collectible coins, depicts him wearing the Tudor Crown.

The crown was personally selected by the King for the portrait despite it no longer existing, having been destroyed in the 1640s.

It continues the tradition of the crown being used in portraits of kings in the 20th century, including those of his great-grandfather King George VI.

Mr Jennings said he was 'proud' to have created the portrait, which he said was 'both dignified and celebratory for this historic occasion'.

The 50p coin also features a drawing of Westminster Abbey - where Charles will be crowned - by the Royal Mint's resident designer, Natasha Jenkins.

The £5 coin features a design by Timothy Noad, showing the sacred and symbolic objects used in the coronation ceremony - known as the Coronation Regalia - and the St Edward's Crown.

The range also contains a number of ounce coins that are available in several editions and sizes, each featuring the crowned portrait of the King on one side and an intricate design by John Bergdahl on the other.

The 50p coins will be available to buy from 9am on April 24 for between £11 and £1,220, while the £5 coins are priced between £14.50 and £2,995.

A 1kg solid gold proof coin featuring the designs of Mr Jennings and Mr Bergdahl will go on sale for £77,565.

Five million 50ps are set to enter circulation later in 2023 featuring the original, uncrowned effigy of Charles by Mr Jennings and the commemorative Westminster Abbey drawing by Ms Jenkins.

This follows the five million memorial 50ps that entered circulation after the King ascended the throne.

Rebecca Morgan, director of collector services at the Royal Mint, called the range 'a wonderful keepsake of such a historic occasion'.

'This is the first coronation that most of us will ever have seen - it has been 70 years since the last coronation in this country,' she said. 'And we know lots of people are gearing up to have a huge celebration.

'It is a historic moment for Britain and people are going to want something to remember it by and these coins are the perfect choice for that.'

The Royal Mint has struck the coins of the monarch 'since the times of Alfred the Great', she added. 'We are marking a moment in history and a new chapter in British coinage.'

The historian and curator at the Royal Mint Museum, Chris Barker, said the coins are unusual as they feature a crowned effigy of the King which in the 20th century has been reserved for commemorative medals only.

'What also really stands out is the way the King is portrayed crowned because there's a remarkable resemblance to his grandfather, George VI,' he said. 'And he has been shown wearing the Tudor Crown on coronation medals from his reign.

'You can see that the King is obviously channelling some of the iconography of the last king that Britain had.'

May 6th

Ancoats welcomed royalty as the Hallé celebrated a 'world-class' renovated hall which was one of the first pillars of the area's transformation. Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh officially opened The Oglesby Centre, the extension to Hallé St Peters, the historic former church which overlooks Cutting Room Square.

Hallé St Peters opened as a rehearsal space in 2013 before The Oglesby Centre extension was built six years later, with additional practice and performance rooms, plus a café. Today (April 13), the Duchess thanked those who made the project a reality before unveiling a plaque to mark the occasion.

The Duchess, who is a patron of the Hallé, toured the revamped building and met dignitaries from across Greater Manchester before enjoying a performance from the Hallé Ancoats Community Choir which she described as 'joy on a plate'. Praising the work of the Hallé, the Duchess added: "It's yet another demonstration that the Hallé - over so many decades and generati

Is this the coach TM will use on the way to the Abbey? I can't really tell apart the
Australian State Coach and the Diamond Jubilee Coach (which will be used.)

The reception on Friday is for foreign heads of state (and their +1). It will probably be lounge suit/cocktail dress for those attending.
I still have some hope left that the dress code might include tiaras for the big day, but I fear they might go for working/non-working royals nonsense.

There's nothing planned (that we know of) for the evening of the Coronation, there might be a big white tie banquet that hasn't been announced yet.

The White Tie Dinner is at my house. Tiaras and Orders required.
