The Coronation of Charles III has begun in London, and with it the different memes and tweets: the salad bowl that Queen Letizia has put on her head, Death appearing in the Church (in the form of a cleaner dressed in black with a mop-scythe) or the comparisons with ‘Star Wars’ and ‘Shrek’. But, so far, the most important meme has been Katy Perry.
Where do I sit?
The ‘I kissed a girl’ singer turned up in the middle of the ceremony at Westminster Abbey (not out of confusion, but because she will be singing at the concert afterwards with Take That) in a bubblegum pink dress and a pamela four times bigger than her face with the intention of sitting down. The problem is that the Americans don’t quite understand protocol, and she spent a long time looking for her seat among the more than 2000 people who will be there.
Of course, on Twitter they’ve already made a good account of the mistake: “Katy Perry is you on the first day of college looking for your place”; “Katy Perry giving a whirl at the Coronation“… There are even those who say that the pink dress is a way of homanigning Lady Di, whose favourite colour was exactly that, and those who comment that the opening act is about to get married to make way for the real star of the show.
Two kings are to be crowned today, yes, but the official queen of the people is already more than chosen. Her partner, by the way, has been the editor-in-chief of ‘Vogue’, Edward Enninful. Not a moment of non-stop great moments.
