40+ of the Funniest Tweets About King Charles' Coronation

This article appeared in thedaddest.com and has been published here with permission.

King Charles’ coronation was held on May 6th, 2023, and to call it controversial would be an understatement. Some people believe that the monarchy should be dissolved altogether. Others think the royals bring in more money than they spend. There are individuals who are team William/Kate. There are those who are team Harry/Meghan. One thing we can all agree on, though, is that these tweets about the coronation are absolutely hilarious!

Checkmate

We understand that the coronation had to remain posh and professional. That being said, it’d have been really cool if the King and the bishops would’ve played along with their chessboard roles, at least for a little bit.

Actually, it could’ve been a wonderful marketing strategy for the royal family. The moment would certainly go viral, people would absolutely love it, and it’d make the royals seem more relatable and fun. Perhaps this idea can be revisited at the next coronation.

Practice Makes Perfect

In the King’s defense, he probably never bothered to learn the lines because he thought he’d never have the opportunity to use them. For a while there, it seemed like Queen Elizabeth was immortal and would continue her reign forever.

Add to that our current cancel culture being on overdrive, Harry’s tell-all book Spare, and people trying to get the monarchy abolished — and we don’t really blame Charles for not wanting to get himself hyped up over something that might not happen.

King Grandpa

Poor Louis must’ve been so confused about what he should now call the man we know as King Charles. At the coronation, all the five-year-old heard was how his grandfather had gone from Prince to King and that everyone must now call him that latter.

We can see how that’d be confusing for a kid. So, does he now call his grandfather King? Does he stick with Grandpa? Or perhaps he opts for King Grandpa?

The Show Must Go On

The royal family was truly prepared for anything, as they made sure to have some spare Camillas on hand because the show must go on. Spare One and Spare Two are actually the Queen's Coronation Companions — Annabel Elliot and Fiona Mary Petty-Fitzmaurice.

It makes sense that Annabel would look like Camilla because she’s actually the Queen’s sister. As for Fiona, she’s the Marchioness of Lansdowne. Or, you know, they’re Spare One and Spare Two, whichever you prefer.
