'In 1945, the then Princess Elizabeth became the first female member of The Royal Family to serve as a full-time active member of the Armed Forces, when she joined the Auxiliary Territorial Service (ATS).

'As well as being Head of the Armed, Queen Elizabeth was also the wife, mother and grandmother of individuals who served in the Forces. Much of Her Majesty’s working life was spent meeting serving members of the Armed Forces and their families.

The snaps capture the Queen - who was the Royal British Legion's Patron for 70 years - in her military uniform, meeting servicemen and women, and inspecting poppy wreaths.

I was slow to warm up to The Duchess of Cornwall, but her action here as HRH QC Camilla is priceless.

I suppose this is a combination of the Chichester ancestors already identified, and the Mersey line identified by 23&Me?

Cheers for King Charles as he ignores Harry and Meghan

His Majesty was given a rockstar's welcome as he arrived at the JW3 Jewish community centre in Finchley Road, North London, as the Jewish community prepares to celebrate Chanukah.

Queen Camilla: Charles' wife gets title on coronation invite

King Charles III's wife has been officially identified as Queen Camilla for the first time, with Buckingham Palace using the title on invitations for the monarch's May 6 coronation.

www.cp24.com

April 4, 2023
''Camilla, who until now has been described as queen consort, is given equal billing on the ornate medieval style invitations that will be sent to more than 2,000 guests and were unveiled on Tuesday.''

''Camilla will be crowned alongside her husband on May 6 at Westminster Abbey.

The palace released a few more details about the coronation on Tuesday, announcing that 9-year-old Prince George, the king's eldest grandson, who is second in line to the throne, would be one of four pages of honor attending the monarch during the service. Camilla will also have four pages.''


''The coronation invitations feature the ancient motif of the Green Man in a nod to the monarch's record of supporting conservation and environmental protection.

The Green Man is “an ancient figure from British folklore, symbolic of spring and rebirth, to celebrate the new reign,” the palace said.''

How to watch King Charles III's coronation and what time is it on?

King Charles III will be crowned sovereign on 6 May in Westminster Abbey

www.hellomagazine.com

''What time will the coronation start?​

While an exact time has not yet been given, it has been announced that the coronation will take place on the morning of Saturday 6 May. As royal fans will know, Queen Elizabeth II's coronation began at 11:15am on 2 June 1953 – perhaps Charles' ceremony will follow suit. ''

''Over 30 public big screen sites across the UK will air the coronation
While a number of exact sites have been confirmed, the official locations of the remaining sites are yet to be confirmed.''

''How can I watch the coronation in the US?​

Although details of how to watch the coronation in the US have not yet been confirmed, typically ABC News and SkyNews have broadcast other major royal events, including the Queen's Jubilee celebrations, so it's likely that this could happen for the coronation. ''

Thank you @dotr - the only English channel I get is BBC - so will be watching it on that! I'm pretty sure they will show it!

Holy oil for King Charles' coronation consecrated in Jerusalem

The oil, perfumed with sesame, rose, jasmine, cinnamon, neroli, benzoin, and orange blossom, is based on that used for the coronation of the late Queen Elizabeth 70 years ago and a formula used for hundreds of years, the palace said.
