Where someone was crowned and I slept in
A coronation story
This past weekend was a rather royal affair. There was the coronation of King Charles III and Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story was released to Netflix.
I watched some of the coronation. I did not wake up as early as they began broadcasting on it. However, I did wake up in time to see him get crowned which was hours after NBC/ABC/CBS/BBC/PBS and others began.
With the coronation we saw:
A gospel choir was there.
Prince Louis being the best royal.
Possibly other things, but as I said. I didn’t see as much. The two things above were enough.
Things you may not know:
No American president has ever attended a coronation.
First Lady Dr. Jill Biden is the first First Lady to attend a coronation. (a lot of first in this sentence)
The Gold State Coach has been around for over 260 years.
In regards to Queen Charlotte I did binge watch it. That was not the plan. I had planned to only watch one episode. Plans change. Definite recommendation.
I don’t believe you need to have watched the other seasons of Bridgerton either before watching this prequel.
In other news:
The trailer for Dune 2 dropped. I believe I’ll finally read the book before the movie comes out. Hopefully.
People complain about being spoiled in a number of ways these days. If you are one of those people, this article might be able to help.
The upcoming NFL schedule will be released this Thursday. They really do want coverage all year round.
My Currents:
Currently Reading: Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow by Gabrielle Zevin (Amazon | Bookshop.org)
Currently Watching: Succession. The conversation between Shiv and Tom this week made me want to crawl in a hole. This show is so good!
Currently Listening: Sons of Ares dramatized audiobook. I never knew I needed dramatized audiobooks before. I will definitely look out for others. (Amazon)
Book of the Week:
Keeping with the Royal theme this week, we have Red, White & Royal Blue by Casey McQuiston. A novel following Alex Claremont-Diaz, the First Son of the United States, and Henry, the Prince of Wales who must fake a friendship after an altercation between the two at a royal wedding to avoid political scandal. As they spend more time together, their friendship turns into something more, and they must navigate the challenges of a secret relationship in the public eye.
The movie has begun filming as well so as good a time as any to read the book.
