Many celebrities were also happy to attend the coronation, including singers Lionel Richie and Katy Perry, musician Nick Cave, actresses Emma Thompson, Maggie Smith, Joanna Lumley and Judi Dench, composer Andrew Lloyd Webber and broadcaster Stephen Fry. And despite the tumultuous relationship Prince Harry has had with the royal family, he still managed to make an appearance at his father’s coronation.
Despite Saturday’s joyous occasion, the royal family still has challenges ahead of them. According to a CNN poll, more Brits say that their views of the monarchy have worsened over the past decade than those who say their views have improved. And adults aged 55 or older were about 10 percentage points more likely than younger adults to actually be interested in the coronation, as many younger Brits don’t care much about the royal family and don’t consider it to be relevant in their lives.
