1. Mostly because it will be 3 am here but also because it is Saturday and I tend not

to put the tv on except for international of Canadian news.

[gopiscrap]

27. you must live on the west coast like I do

[Violet_Crumble]

2. I watch every royal thingy if it's on telly and the time suits me...

I'm going to take a break from Season 2 of Doctor Who tonight and watch it until it bores me. I think it's on all free to air channels tonight, so I've got a choice of which channel to watch. I'm mainly there for those awkward moments like where the commentators don't recognise a PM, or everyone notices that Harry's stuck way up the back with Andrew, or that moment when Fergie sneaks in when everyone's busy gasping over Meghan's latest boring hairstyle...

3. I live here...it's non-stop no matter...

where you go!

[Tetrachloride]

4. Watching something with Klingons

[chillfactor]

5. Will be watching movies and series on paramount+

will not turn on tv at all tomorrow.

[Retrograde]

6. The BBC version is set to record, but

I've got other things to do on Saturday and Sunday, so I don't know when or if I'll get around to watching it.

[ShazzieB]

7. I'm too much of an anglophile and history buff not to watch.

Not in "real" time; I'm recording it (MSNBC), since the coverage starts at 4am here. But I am looking forward to sitting down to watch at a time that's more compatible with my time zone.

28. I love Chicago, I learned to drive there

[CanonRay]

8. I'm in London

Going to a matinee play s o I don't have to del with the crowds.

[DFW]

9. There's a coronation going on?

Where?

[BlueWaveNeverEnd]

10. will see bits later on youtube. Never had the patience to watch long drawn out events live

[Raine]

11. Absolutely, I love history. Even though I'm not into the royals still watching for the history. NT

[claudette]

12. Not ne

I’m wondering if anyone there realizes how silly it all looks to some Americans. Besides. Didn’t we fight and win a war to be free of that kind of thinking?

[Ocelot II]

13. Got it on now. It's history.

I don't care about the royal family's ongoing soap opera, but I am interested in watching major events. And the Brits always have excellent music when they put on one of their shows. And it's worth it for the hats. They always go all out with the hats.

[gopiscrap]

29. OMG I totally agree with you

I was watching it because it is history and also because I am a liturgist and that liturgy last night was beautiful

[GoneOffShore]

14. Possibly see bits, if someone has it on. But not tuning in.

Actually I'll be driving to a lunch party when it goes on.

It's 11:15A here so 10:15 in London. And we're having lunch with other Americans.

[Ziggysmom]

15. The royals are dinosaurs trying to remain relevant in todays world. Sad thing is they have

amassed spectacular wealth at the expense of the British People.
They are like a more proper, educated version of the Kardashians. Won't waste my time watching any of it.

[Kaleva]

23. They can still control people as shown by this and other threads

If they were no longer relevant, you wouldn't see comments about them

[Dorian Gray]

16. Nope

no interest.

[Shanti Shanti Shanti]

17. Watching, a day for world historians, my ancestors kept the Stone of Destiny intact for 700 yrs

[blogslug]

18. yeah

Watching for the same reason I watched the Queen's funeral, we won't see anything like this again. I honestly don't think there will be a monarchy in England for much longer.

[eShirl]

19. I have it on in the background while playing World of Warcraft Classic

since it's on now
wasn't planning to watch it

[Shellback Squid]

20. watching now, who is that asshat with his hands in his pockets? to to right of the proccession

in Westminster Abbey

[hlthe2b]

21. Unless you refuse to turn on the tv, chances are you'll see some of it. I do like colorful pageantry

and there is something about choirs echoing in these cavernous cathedrals. On that score, even the non-religious would come to Notre Dame in Paris before the fire to hear that, myself included.

For me, it is not about Charles or the royal combatants of late or Royalty in general, and certainly not for the religious nature of the ceremony. But, as a history buff, that so much of this dates back to 1066 and the time of William the Conquerer, I can't help but be curious. The whole system may be eliminated in the not-distant future. But, it is part of history until then. But, for those who chose not to, more power to you.

[Ocelot II]

22. The choir singing William Byrd's music was wonderful.

I tune into these things for the history, the music and the hats.

[gopiscrap]

30. I agree.

[Kaleva]

24. I'll watch it it later at a more convenient time

[phylny]

25. I watched the weddings of

Charles and Diana, William and Kate, and Harry and Meghan. I am not watching today.

He and his wife disgust me.

[leftyladyfrommo]

26. I watch the horses. They have gorgeous horses. nt
