Whether you weren’t ever onboard, turned up and bolted quicker than Prince Harry, or settled in for the full royal show, Prince Charles and Queen Camilla’s coronation was a lot… Unsurprisingly, one of the key talking points was how 3 key women performed on the day – that’s Camilla (who paid tribute to her 2 pooches on her gown), Princess Kate (who became an even more iconic fashion icon), and Penny Mordaunt (the politician who can sure hold a sword in style). An honourable mention goes to Princess Anne’s hat… Some fab photos that the BBC has put together into a gallery are here. The lengthy church service wasn’t the only event to mark the crowning – pop stars including Katy Perry and Lionel Ritchie headlined a coronation concert at Windsor overnight. Organisers say 20,000 attendees and 100 nations will get a look at it. For us antipodeans, Channel 7 will air a replay of the concert from 7.30pm AEST tonight.
