From your comments it's fairly clear to me that HM The King is not as much admired by the British as HM Queen Elizabeth II was. I think the whole ceremony is a bit overdone with all the mounted soldiers and the carriage with six horses and everything. I hope HRH The Prince of Wales will slim down the ceremony right after his accession to the throne.
