with all due respect but the coronation of a king is political per se

This lady has waited in a tent in front of the palace from Thursday 28 April to 6 May.
That's nine days camping outside.
Hats off
That beats any waiting to get a ticket for a Stones club show.

Coronation is entertainment.
The biggest show on earth.
Jagger is a king on his own right since 1964.

Almost as dedicated as Springsteen fans!

Interesting that Camilla was now proclaimed as Queen and also crowned.
Charles' father was just a Prince (Philip, Duke of Edinburgh) as the husband of Queen Elizabeth II.

The wife of a king automatically becomes queen.

She wasn't actually proclaimed Queen, though, because she's not the sovereign.

What about Diana, the late mother of Charles' sons?

Diana is no longer alive (but she lives in the hearts of her admirers) - and the title Queen is only used publicly after the coronation.

According to press reports, at least her status was changed (by King Charles III) on April 4th, 2023 from 'Queen Consort' to 'Queen Camilla'.

The UK has produced so many great bands and solo artists. I am therefore baffled as to why someone thought it a good idea not to have UK or Commonwealth artists headlining an event like the Coronation Concert. Makes no sense, unless they were all asked and declined the invitation, which I somehow doubt.

Interesting that Nick Cave was part of the Australian delegation for the ceremony but didn't perform.
