Oxford Posted April 27, 2023 Share Posted April 27, 2023 Too right I am. When I took the oath to serve Queen and Country, that included her successors too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whiskey Rose Posted April 27, 2023 Share Posted April 27, 2023 Hey, what about the Canada Cousins? Don’t give a toss about us, eh? “Oh it’s the Canada Cousin..got a bit uppity, went off on it’s own. Forgot where it came from, it did! Well I for one won’t tolerate it. Pretend you don’t see it!’ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alfierose Posted April 27, 2023 Share Posted April 27, 2023 I don't really care but I probably will watch some of it because I've never seen one before. My Dad is 81 and can just about remember the last one - he was 11 I think. Yay to 3 bank holidays in May though! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't really watch the royal stuff like weddings and funerals. The 3 bank holidays are what I'm looking forward to 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is technically as of this very moment still King Apparent and hasn't officially been coronated as King Charles yet. Like how the President Elect formally becomes The President on January 20th.😀 Edited April 28, 2023 by Karice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coronate means crown which is where coronation comes from, but there’s no such word or meaning to ‘coronated’. It’s one of those internet made up words, like albumed.

But “coronate” is an incorrect back formation of “coronation”. Coronated is not a word. Albumed is when you’ve received an LP as a gift.

Oxford Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 I think someone from GBNews must be a member here. They’ve literally just been talking about this very subject about people using the made up words coronate and coronated, in reference to the coronation. 🤣🤣🤣. In short Chuck is going to be crowned at his coronation. And not in a street in Manchester either, which apparently some Twitter users think 🤣 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
