I am not sorry

You're not alone. I've watched/read very little about the royal transition. Elizabeth is out, Charles is in. Got it.

I have many British friends and have had this conversation with them directly. I simply do not understand how we have divinely anointed monarchies in 2022. I don't get it.

And I don't mean to take anything away from Elizabeth. I understand that she was a good person and did her people proud. I get it. But still, by the simple fact that she held the position means that she accepts that she is "royal" (whatever-the-hell that means) and we are not. Personally, I reject that concept.

Agreed. Why is our culture obsessed with royalty, wealth and the rituals of that archaic institution?

I understand the appeal but I won’t be watching. Too much real life to deal with.

It's not like this happens every day. It's an unusual story. Nobody much under age 80 was around for the last one, and King George VI's funeral wasn't televised. Expect the same for Charles' coronation.

I’m watching the Disney channel so I didn’t realize (it’s not airing there). I guess, they’re our friends now and this is a big deal. Just like everyone was watching the wedding between Charles and Diana years ago (that was on our main networks, as was Diana’s funeral, now that I think of it), so is this.

yeah, slow news dy
and covid isn't selling right now

That was today? I've been watching south park.

She is Queen of more than just the UK. Australia, New Zealand, Canada and a few other Relms; about 16. Head of the Commonwealth which comprises 54 or so Nations.

However I am watching a Clive Cussler/Dirk Pitt film.

Im as english as it gets...and i didnt watch.
Its someones mother and grandmother so im respectful about that...but god...she was 96...its hardly a shock.

Alex, I’ll take “Reasons I only watch steaming TV” for $400, please 😂

Is it really on every channel?
