Buckingham Palace has released the official invitation for King Charles’ coronation next month, and his wife Camilla has received a title change… The ornate invitation – printed on recycled paper, of course – is from “King Charles III and Queen Camilla” – marking an upgrade from ‘Queen Consort’, which received Queen Elizabeth’s blessing last year. A reduced guestlist of about 2,000 has been invited to the ceremony at Westminster Abbey on 6 May, including most of the royal family. That includes his brother Prince Andrew, and son Prince Harry and his wife Meghan, but the US-based couple hasn’t confirmed if they’ll attend. US President Joe Biden turned down his invite – he’ll be rep’d by First Lady Jill Biden, who will lead the American delegation. As for the Aussies, PM Anthony Albanese and Governor-General David Hurley will accompany some “outstanding citizens” who haven’t yet been named. Our hand is up, in case anyone’s asking… It’s shaping up to be quite the party.
