In the same way a venue will pay a celebrity to show up and sit in VIP as a way to make bank off of curious revelers, so is Elizabeth's role for the UK

I think she will be the last one gushed over like this. Charles isn't that popular. William V will likely be better liked but by that time most old royalist will have died off.
By the time of the reign of George VII the royals will be of as much importance as the Scandinavian royals or the other Euro royals. I think they all still have some royals, if only in title.
The only true hereditary monarchy in Europe is Lichtenstein. Which for a monarchy is a very well off country. Known for their dentures and skiing. A per capita GDP of 180k.

BBC pointed him out, but I mean, this isn't about him. Why would the British press care?
Japan's Emperor is there and India's president and a shite ton of others.
From a COVID standpoint, this is probably the biggest collection of international heads of state since the pandemic started, so in a way this can be seen as another marker that COVID is done.

They need those guys that pick up the poop after the horses like at Mardi gras parade. So much poop.

I don't keep up with any of this stuff but happened to wake up super early today and turned the TV on for the hell of it, thinking I'd be bored after 5 minutes, yet here I am hours later.
The formality, the history, the architecture, and even the commentary have all been interesting.
It feels like watching a documentary about something from 300 years ago, plus a fancy Jag hearse and a caravan of Range Rovers.

I don't understand why anybody except Brits would be so interested in this.

25 miles
There hasn’t been 25 miles of walking. For the first 70 minutes or so, they walked from Westminster Abbey until the coffin was loaded into a hears. So they walked about 2-3 miles at the pace they were going.
Then the hearse drove the majority of the way to the castle. Now, they are walking again. Probably no more than 5 miles of walking total.
Edit: Obviously, the hearse is still going. But it picked up speed for a while there until I slowed down as it approached Windsor Castle.
