Why Does King Charles Look So Old

Lifestyle

In a grand spectacle that had royal fans flooding central London or glued to their screens at their homes, King Charles III and Queen Camilla were crowned in a historic Coronation ceremony.

However, for Americans watching the event unfold from overseas, the entire ceremony seemingly appeared more like a scene straight out of a Disney movie.

Social media was abuzz with comments from Americans who couldn’t believe what they were seeing while others were clearly not as invested in the event as their British counterparts.

@sweetbabette wrote, “It’s a big day for headwear”, referring to the impressive crowns and headdresses worn by the royals.

Meanwhile, @knickerzoff seemed less impressed, quipping, “I hope Meghan posts pictures from Chucky Cheese showing why she couldn’t make the Coronation.”

Others were simply confused about the whole affair. @MattsterT3 tweeted, “Americans be watching the Coronation of Charles Ill and thinking… dude’s too young to be head of state.”

And @MissDonni added, “Watching the coronation on @ABC. They seem far more aware we Americans have no clue what’s going on. The captions and commentary are welcome!”

One recurring theme among the comments was the age of King Charles III as for many Americans, the King’s advanced age was one of the most surprising aspects of the Coronation.

@PopRag wrote, “Dayyyummm Prince Harry got sat THIRD ROW. Charles looks oooooold! I mean I’m sure he is fit but wow. Anyway, he’s being …uhhh sworn in? Does Camilla gotta do that? She should. Throw the bible at her too.”

Much of the commentary was referencing the eccentric and lavish attires that royals wore during the ancient ceremony.
