Six new baby chickens have been acquired!

Two Partridge Brahmas, a Black Orpington, a Splash Minorca, a Speckled Sussex, and finally, a Coronation Sussex.

The two Brahmas have been named: Goji, short for Gojira (Godzilla) after what a big boyo he is, and Moth, short for Mothra to complete the Kaiju duo.

Goji has already been charged with naughty chicken crimes (biting his siblings because he was hungry and thought they were hiding food from him), so the entire drive home I had to hold the chick box with one hand and Goji with the other so he couldn’t try to bite anyone else :’D

Goji was informed that he was a very naughty boy... but immediately fell asleep in my hand, so I don’t think he was paying attention 🤔

As some as you may know, I lost my beloved Flash, my disabled rooster, a couple of weeks ago. I’ve been struggling a bit with his loss, but I wanted to get another rooster to help manage my wild ladies. The new babies have helped bring back some joy into the house, but my boy will forever live in my heart.

About the Coronation: Proof that Harry went straight to the airport

Guess whose surly scowl isn't in the BBC's coronation documentary!

Around the 70-minute mark, there are scenes of the royal processions returning to Buckingham Palace to a warm welcome and great cheers from the extended families and close friends. Take a look at who was there...

The lady in blue in front of Princess Michael and the lady in a white coat both look famliar to me, but I'm having trouble placing them. I believe the young man hovering over Mike's right shoulder is Earl Snowdon/David Linley's son (Princess Margaret's grandson), but I'm not sure so he didn't get a nametag.

Update! (12/29/23) The lady in blue is Sophie Tollemache, wife of Edward Tollemache, who I believe is the man to her right that's cut off in the image. Edward is one of Charles's godsons and Edward and Sophie's son Ralph (in the foreground above, with the blue arrow aross his head) is one of Charles's pageboys. The reason she is familiar to me is because of her dress. It is by Beulah London and is the same dress that Beatrice wore to the Platinum Jubilee Service of Thanksgiving (which Sophie Winkleman wore in fuchsia and which The Princess of Wales also has in blush and with short sleeves.)

That's Mike Tindall with the medals on his chest standing next to Jack. You can't see it well, but Eugenie is the dark blue feathers blocked from the camera by the page boys and Zara is the light blue hat with blonde hair in the back.

Now, you know if the Sussexes knew the royals were filming a documentary for the coronation, Harry would've pushed himself to be front and center of everyone, and he probably would've stepped out to greet his darling papa with a hug and a kiss for the camera. I mean, the guy didn't push through chairs at the Commonwealth Service for nothing!

So, many thanks to the BBC for finally putting to bed the "when did Harry really leave for the airport" speculation. After all, there were competing narratives at the time of the coronation:

Harry's PR: Harry went to Buckingham Palace to see his father and have lunch with everyone, then he went to the airport.

Royal Reporters: Harry left for the airport immediately after the coronation service.

(Meghan co-signed with Harry's PR but then once the royal reporters began writing that Harry left immediately after the service, she started putting out 'Harry left immediately after the service to be home for Archie's birthday party' PR.)

Now we know. The royal reporters' version is correct. Harry went straight to the airport from Westminster Abbey.

Despite the government, police, and right wing media's best attempts to strip citizens of their rights to protest and free speech, protesters have turned up to the coronation! Multiple people have already been arrested for simply exercising their constitutional rights but that won't stop them. 💪

When Katie and I were at the train station at 8:15pm and I decided not to go with her to check out Westminster Abbey because it was so late and would take me an hour and a half to get home, I hadn't realised that her going to the Abbey would end up with her at Oswald's meeting literally every royal in the world. So I'm going to throw myself off a bridge, hope the coronation's good

America's Megyn Kelly will have no more sympathy for BRF if Sussex Duo attends Coronation:

If they welcome these 2 back into the royal family, they deserve what they get. You teach people how to treat you.

You can't look at them as abuse victims if they continue to welcome it into their lives.

"This is an abusive relationship and we're done."

I'm sure H and Meg said their goodbyes and made closure with Frogmore being their home a long time ago, when the dreams of raising their family there became unrealistic. But I'm sure they hoped it would be safe haven, protected and theirs, whenever they made visits back.

To lose that, is sad.

While I'm sure there are family members and friends they could stay with if they ventured back across the Pond, it's not the same as having a home, and a home that is fully protected and secure.

May they receive 💰💰💰 back for all they paid out on that property and may they realise their safety and their sense of belong is not a priority to the House of Windsor.

who needs a functional economy when you could pay for a billionaire pensioner's hat party instead

Why does no one ever have an original thought anymore? Anyways, Public figures get public events. That’s common sense. They’ll stop having expensive coronations when thousands of people stop traveling to see it and billions more stop watching it across several media.

I know inflation is an issue but Charles can’t scale it down to a barbecue or something because people want to see it and it is a very big historical event. Hopefully the celebrations can be cheaper and inflation less of an issue in the future but there’s literally only 2 coronations a century. And just out of curiosity, how do you feel about celebs that have their big-scale polluting parties every week and give nothing to the general public?

How is Britain rising to this inspiring coronation moment? By obsessing about the Sussexes again

Marina Hyde

Nothing says ‘monumental’ like commemorative mugs, a tarragon quiche and 4,000 articles about two California residents

Tue 18 Apr 2023 13.16 BST

Commemorative mugs showing members of the royal family in Windsor, February 2023

In the week before Harry and Meghan’s wedding I watched a woman in the Kensington Palace shop buy a mug that featured the entwined initials of the couple and retailed at £39. “I love how down to earth they are,” she said. I wonder where that mug is now (the cup, not the woman). There will always be new mugs, of course, and the Royal Collection is currently selling a coronation tankard for £50, as well as such essentials as a £40 bone-china coronation pillbox finished in 22-carat gold, possibly in keeping with King Charles’s oft-stated mission to modernise the monarchy. If you are one of the lucky Brits selected by lottery to receive a GP appointment before the big day, do consider purchasing it and popping your medication in it.

In the meantime you have to ask: how confidence-inspiring, really, is any event that has thus far been defined by about 4,000 articles (and counting) about the attendance or non-attendance of a couple of guests? Nothing says “we’re bigger than that and have moved on” like obsessing over the social plans of two California residents. This event is so inspiring and generational and monumental that the sole thing people can get truly worked up about is how their worst person in the world isn’t coming to it. Surely the one interesting thing about King Charles isn’t his fractured relationship with his younger son? And yet, the tale of the column inches seems to suggest it might be. For a couple we keep hearing are no longer important, the Sussexes do still seem to be the only subject in town.

Royal experts, pro and amateur, act like they’d be lost without them. If the Sussexes had any sense, “they would have accepted immediately”, explained the Mail’s Sarah Vine, about three paragraphs after saluting the “collective sigh of relief” that Meghan would not be attending. The whole interminable saga is afflicted by more than a touch of the Schrödinger’s invitation, with a yes/no able to be both right and wrong at the same time, if likely to induce fatal error one way or the other. Turning up would be an act of war; non-attendance will garner endless headlines about insulting behaviour and “what she’s missing”.

Once again one has to contrast the apparently undimmable ire directed at Meghan and Harry with the muted version enjoyed by Prince Andrew, who last year paid millions in an out-of-court settlement to a woman who had long accused him of sexual abuse when she was 17, after she was trafficked by his good friend Jeffrey Epstein. The Duke of York denies the allegations. If newspaper stories were any guide to what the public wanted, it would seem rather notable that Andrew’s presence or non-presence at his brother’s crowning were of far, far less feverish concern than that of the Sussexes.

Queen Elizabeth II’s coronation was scheduled to avoid a racing fixture; this one was timetabled firmly for Harry and Meghan’s son’s fourth birthday. Back in 1953, the Duke of Windsor (Edward VIII as was) got told by Winston Churchill not to attend. Did the newspapers of the time wet their pants daily for several months about this minor detail of the day? It feels unlikely. Perhaps newspapers back then were made of stronger stuff. Or perhaps, mindful about what happened at Sleeping Beauty’s christening, His Majesty’s Press these days regard it as part of their solemn duty to hold every royal guest list to the very highest scrutiny, lest their readers end up being put to sleep for a hundred years by failure to cover the potential fallout from any NFIs. In a 24-hour period last Friday, shortly after Harry’s attendance was confirmed, the Daily Express website featured a full 44 articles about the Sussexes, one of which suggested the couple’s brand was “on life support”. Hand on heart, the Express and others do an awfully good job of suggesting otherwise.

Back on the official channels, strong efforts are being made to get people excited about the approved royal menu for their subjects’ day. It feels somehow apt that the official dish selected by King Charles is a quiche, given quiches are often wet and almost always disappointing. Like some of Charles’s recent walkabouts, the dish has been regarded as a good use of leftover eggs. Traditionally, indifferent cuisine is a celebrated feature of royal occasions. Of a banquet on the eve of Elizabeth’s coronation, Richard Crossman noted in his diary that “the food was cold and not very good”. Charles’s official coronation quiche features tarragon, the king having failed to commit entirely to the bit, and bung in that most divisive of herbs, coriander.

Odd, finally, to read so little about the determined grumbling about the hundreds of millions to be spent on the coronation, which is a definite thing, from radio phone-ins to even the upper reaches of the MailOnline comments section. Defence of the cost has already seen a resort to the telltale line that it will be a “boost to the economy”. It also seems to have resulted in that great rarity – a bank holiday that doesn’t draw from the woodwork some killjoy from a business body to explain how, actually, bank holidays are an unacceptable cost to the UK economy. Even so, the overriding impression given by all this is that without the attendance or otherwise of one or two non-player characters, there would be very little to say about what could be for many a once-in-a-lifetime event. That doesn’t suggest a monarchy in the rudest health – perhaps the proof of the quiche will be in the eating.

Meghan’s presence or absence isn’t the issue. The issue is that the DECISION of her presence or absence, was hers to make in the end.

What they wanted was for the Institution to impose her a sanction to be present or stay away. She has too much agency and it makes them sick.

No kidding. Nothing, I repeat, NOTHING, that Fleet Street is printing is going to happen. Harry and Meghan are NOT GOING TO BE ON THE BALCONY. The DDoM are JUST ATTENDEES.

Only believe what is announced by the Palace. AND --- it's okay that Harry & Meghan get their own car. No one wants to deal with them.

What coronets do you think the Duke and Duchess of Sussex will wear at Charles' coronation? I assume Meghan will wear the bandeau tiara again?

They will wear the coronet of the child of the sovereign. It has alternating crosses and fleurs-de-lys so it's the same as the coronet of the heir without the arch. Wikipedia has a pretty good article about coronets that shows all of the different styles.

Here are the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester and the Duke and Duchess of Kent wearing them for the coronation of King George VI in 1937.

The Duchess of Gloucester wore Queen Mary's Honeysuckle Tiara and the Duchess of Kent wore her Fringe Tiara. Your assumption is the same as mine, I think Queen Mary's Diamond Bandeau Tiara is probably the tiara the Duchess of Sussex will wear.
