Here is the hottest ticket in this world lately; Charles III's coronation. There were over 2,000 people there, including celebrities, dignitaries, faith leaders, and heads of state from around the world. Prince Harry presented without his wife, Meghan. Reportedly, she was in the U.S. Charles and Camilla arrived lastly in splendor wearing the robe of the estate.
Coronation was three steps. First, Charles faced the four points of the compass showing himself to the people. Breaking the tradition, he read the prayer. The gospel choir sang before the oath. Then he acknowledged the role of the church of England to foster an environment in which all faiths could live freely. Second, he took his place in the holy lineage of kings and queens. And he got crowned with a sovereign crown that comprised rubies, sapphires, and other gems. Consort Camilla got anointed with holy oil by the Archbishop of Canterbury before she got Queen Mary's crown on her head. Then she got presented with the consort's ring. Lastly, the procession from Westminster Abbey to Buckingham Palace set off. A massive crowd gathered to have a glimpse of the king and queen. But, this pageantry saw some feathers ruffled by it. Anti-monarchy in yellow clothes demonstrated, booing "Not My King." London police arrested about 50 people in this circumstance, yet there were a lot of well-wishers of the newly crowned monarch.
+) The Federal Reserve has been hiking up the interest 10 consecutive times since last March to tame inflation. The fixed-rate mortgage increased from 4.54% to 6.39%, which means on a 500,000 dollars loan with 20% down, there's gotta be 500 dollars extra per month. New car loans jumped from 4.54% to 6.97%. Now you have to pay 63 more dollars monthly. Credit card rates are the worst. It soared from 14.5%, which was already bad, to 20.9%. It means if you pay a minimum on 2,000 dollars balance, say, it takes you 11 months to pay it off. FED signaled the potential pause of rate hikes.
+) This high schooler appeared at a high school prom in a legit tank with a bagpiper serving escort. He was bored of normal entrances with typical limos, cars, or bikes. He liked tanks but he had no relation to tanks. So he used the “GoFundMe” page to raise over 1,000 dollars for hiring a tank from a collector, who drove the tank. The tread of this armored tank was rubberized to prevent damaging the road. And he waved in the turret. It was offloaded near the prom avenue. He asked his prom partner saying "I'd be tankful to take you to the prom with me." But, she seemed didn't like it because she refused to sit inside the tank. Perhaps, she wasn't interested in it at all.
