What happened?

Oh, the hullabaloo in May. That's when King Charles III decided to throw the party of the century—his own coronation—following a quaint little tradition that's only about 900 years old. On May 6, Charles decided to get decked out in the family's old heirlooms and have a bit of a do at Westminster Abbey, with the Archbishop of Canterbury doing the honors, as has been the case since, oh, the Norman Conquest.

And then what?

Meanwhile, Queen Consort Camilla got her own crown because why not? And, to add a cherry on top, it all happened on the birthday of his grandson Archie. One could speculate whether the pomp and circumstance were a bit much for a mere birthday party or just the right amount of royal razzle-dazzle in the face of a cost-of-living crisis. But who are we to say? All in a day's work for a king, right?
