#Coronation Year

[shippingsincebeforeyouwereborn]

You know your brain is in that kind of place when you read a novel about a 32 year old woman in London in 1953 and you can’t stop picturing Catherine Russell in that role. And then you know, you might possibly try and figure out whether Jemma Redgrave could pass for a Scottish-Indian bomb disposal PTSD veteran with artistic tendencies.

And then it’s off to the races with the AU

Coronation Year by Jennifer Robson #HouseofWindsor #HistoricalFiction #BookReview #QueenElizabethII

Here's another royal-adjacent novel that was unputdownable: #CoronationYear by #JenniferRobson, who authored #TheGown, too. Give me more fiction like this! #historicalfiction #houseofwindsor #queenelizabethii #williammorrow #coronationroute #bookreview

The USA Today bestselling author of The Gown returns with another enthralling and royal-adjacent historical novel—as the lives of three very different residents of London’s historic Blue Lion hotel converge in a potentially explosive climax on the day of Queen Elizabeth’s Coronation. It is Coronation Year, 1953, and a new queen is about to be crowned. The people of London are in a mood to…

lady.of.light.- PO no. 3 of #ComicConFinland: Kit Harington ❄️ I was finally reunited with Kit yesterday after Walker Stalker in Germany some years back and it was such a lovely moment 🥺❤️ He was really sweet and I asked if he could hold my hand as I thought that pose would suit Jon and Sansa well. Plus it's a little different from all my other POs and I'm really liking how this turned out 🥺 He also really appreciated my costume, which means a lot. Ah I'm just sooo happy he was invited to be our guest at this event and I was able to have this experience. And just wait till I share the story from his panel/autograph, it cracked the whole crowd up 😂🙈 Have a great day everyone! ❤️ * #ComicConFinland2024 #HeroesComicCon #ComicCon #KitHarington #GameOfThrones #JonSnow #HouseStark #WinterIsComing #SansaStark #geeklife #fangirling #photoop #convention #dreamcometrue #HBOMaxNordic

AU where Loki gets banished for Thor/Warriors 4 going to Jotunheim and he just settles down on Earth. Copes with the blue arm by ignoring it completely since he's been disowned and dumped on Earth anyway. There's probably a way to 'prove himself worthy' and 'get back to Asgard' but he never bothers with it.

Pour one out for all the brits struggling to get by for the fact we might be headed for ANOTHER elaborate and expensive ass coronation.

[wonder-worker]

"[Matilda of Boulogne's office as Queen of England], initiated and broadly defined by the coronation ordo, gave her royal power and authority to share in governance. Her obligations and activities were shaped by custom established by previous queens and the ad hoc needs of king and realm. [...] [Matilda's] thorough integration into the governance of the realm was not repeated in [Eleanor of Aquitaine’s] years as queen of England. Eleanor's coronation followed a new model that emphasized the queen as progenitor of royal heirs and subordinate to the king rather than as sharer of royal power. Though Eleanor acted as regent in England between 1156 and 1158 and in Poitou on several occasions from 1165 on, her writs suggest delegated rather than shared royal authority. In England, her power was limited by the lack of lands assigned to her use and by the elaboration of financial and judicial administration. Whereas [Matilda of Boulogne's] inheritance allowed her to play an integral role in politics by securing the Londoners' loyalty and a steady supply of mercenaries, Eleanor's inheritance provided her with more extensive power in Poitou and Aquitaine than in England. Until 1163, Eleanor withdrew funds from the Exchequer by her own writ, but unlike her Anglo-Norman predecessors, she was not a member of its council nor did she issue judgments from the royal court. Eleanor's counsel and diplomatic activities, in contrast to Matilda's, are rarely mentioned. She did, however, encourage the 1159 Toulouse campaign and supported Henry in the Becket affair and the coronation of young Henry. Eleanor was not a prominent curialis; she rarely witnessed Henry's charters or interceded to secure the king's mercy. She did follow in Matilda's footsteps in her promotion of her sons, cultivation of dynastic goals through the Fontevraudian tombs, and patronage that reflected her family's traditions. For Matilda, to be queen encompassed a variety of functions-curialis, diplomat, judge, intercessor, and "regent." Through a combination of factors, Eleanor's role as queen was much more restricted."

Happy 6th birthday to our adorable Prince Louis of Wales 23 April 24

I LOOK AT KATE AND SEE “QUEEN.”

“There’s a photograph of her arriving at the abbey and looking over her shoulder directly into the camera. Compare it to one taken in the same place on her wedding day and see the transformation. There’s a steeliness to her gaze that wasn’t there 12 years ago. There’s an alchemy at work that the other royals must desperately wish they could bottle.” - The Sunday Times

RIP Kenneth Cope (14.4.1931 - 11.9.2024)

"Michael Pratt and I just gelled. We had never met previously but we got on so well. Michael wrote, and we had such a great relationship that we would just change lines, and we were both on the same wavelength. That was such a lucky, lucky thing."

[pseudophan]

honestly they were disrespectful to themselves. they let it get completely out of hand for a MONTH. the palace did this to themselves

yeah... look nobody will get me to agree with people being like 'conspiracy theorists have gone too far' 'you've all been disrespectful towards catherine' 'there was never a reason for any of this' 'you should be ashamed for what you said' etc etc etc. because like... first of all, again, i hold zero respect for these people. why the fuck should i. but even if i did... it's their own fucking fault???? the fuck?????? lmao?????????? literally only a handful of people gave a fuck until that doctored photo. and then they just kept making it worse. and i'm sorry but i actually don't think they're entitled to their privacy when their entire job is pr and they're blatantly lying in all their pr shit like ? what else are you good for lol. but then that also makes me angry because as much as i don't like kate for several reasons i'm still a bit genuinely offended at her behalf for how they've handled all this shit.. like making her take the blame for the photoshop (i hope for her sake it was her own idea, because otherwise........), having her appear alone in the video announcing her cancer (why tf isn't william there when she's talking about how he's by her side lmao), the general just lack of giving a fuck about anything whilst the world went wild theorising about her.... i can't tell whether she's taking the fall to cover for something else or if they're just all absolute assholes ?? again like. i don't like kate middleton. for many reasons. but i like william and charles a whole lot less and it's infuriating that they're making me feel like she's been wronged lmao
