| 0:19.0 | Hello listeners, welcome back to Luke's English podcast. It's Monday the 8th of May. |
| 0:22.0 | That's the date today when I'm recording this. |
| 0:25.0 | 2023 and listeners I don't know if you noticed but at the weekend on Saturday |
| 0:31.6 | that was Saturday the 6th of May, check out my counting abilities, |
| 0:36.4 | backwards counting. On Saturday the 6th of May, it was the coronation of King Charles III and I thought okay probably should do a |
| 0:46.7 | podcast episode about that right? It was quite an interesting event. I don't know if |
| 0:50.8 | listeners you managed to see it on television where you were or maybe |
| 0:54.4 | you caught some of the footage on the internet or something like that. Anyway, I thought that it would be a good topic to cover. |
| 1:00.3 | So who better to talk to than my mom and dad? We talked together on the |
| 1:06.3 | podcast when Charles became King proper I mean when he first became King |
| 1:11.0 | it seems he's become King twice. I don't know how that's possible but he became |

| 1:47.6 | He became King the moment the Queen died. Right. Spiritual thing went from the Queen to him and he became king. He didn't need to be to be |
| 1:56.7 | crowned. It just happened. So he didn't need to have a coronation at all. He wanted to have one so he had one. It's traditional and I know it's a good |
| 2:06.9 | excuse for a bit of a party. And spend millions of pounds. Wait a minute so if he didn't need to, if that didn't need to happen, well I mean you may have just |
| 2:17.1 | answered that question, why did it happen? |
| 2:19.0 | But I mean all the stuff that there were things that happened in the ceremony that seemed to be very sort of significant and spiritual, right? |
