Is it Corrie Bobs, Corrie Nats, the Cozza or Chazza’s Corro? After Platinum Jubilee was nicknamed Platty Joobs, what are you calling the Coronation?
- Platty Joobs took social media by storm at the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee last year
- Now debate is raging over what nickname for the King’s Coronation should be
When Britain celebrated the Queen’s 70 years on the throne last year, some could not resist giving the milestone a nickname.
And so, for many on social media, the Platinum Jubilee became the Platty Joobs.
Now, similarly intense debate has broken out online over what the nickname for King Charles’s Coronation should be.
Some on social media have opted to use the nickname ‘Corrie Bobs’ to describe the King’s Coronation
Contenders flying around on social media include, among many others, the ‘Corrie Bobs’, the ‘Corrie Nats’ and ‘Chazza’s Corro’.
Most popular Coronation nicknames
The most popular Coronation abbreviations, according to social media:
- Corrie Bobs
- Corrie Nats
- The Cozza
- Crowny Chaz
- Chazza’s Corro
Taking to Twitter, one person said: ‘Question – after #plattyjubes and #stattyfunes, what are the Brits calling the coronation? Best suggestion I’ve seen is #corriebobs.
Another royal fan appeared to have already settled on the nickname choice, writing: ‘Anyone else make or try the #PlattyJubes Trifle last summer?
‘I loved it and feel sad it might now fade into history, so have decided to make one again for the #CorrieBobs and party we’re off to!’
A post on Reddit read: ‘We’ve had Platty Jubes and Statty Funes, what will King Charles’ coronation be abbreviated to?’
One user said beneath: ‘Corribobs. I made it and I hate it.’
A reply then read: ‘I immediately hated you for making me read it.’
Another Redditor replied: ‘I hate it and its the one.’
A third joked: ‘Sorry, I hate it but it’s the one.’
Other nicknames that have done the rounds include ‘the Cozza’ and ‘Crowny Chaz’.
Last year, Platty Joobs took off to such an extent that even bakery chain Greggs used it when urging Her Late Majesty to enjoy a sausage roll.
King Charles would likely be unimpressed with the nicknames
Others were not taken with the phrase though, saying it belonged in the same category as ‘hollibobs’.
Meanwhile, preparations for the King’s actual crowning next weekend are continuing at pace.
The Stone of Destiny left Edinburgh Castle yesterday in preparation for its central role in the ceremony inside Westminster Abbey.
It last left Scotland in 1996, when it was removed from the Abbey after spending 700 years – bar a few months when it missing after being stolen in 1950 – in London.
Earlier today, the King watched an Australian charity kick off the London leg of a torch relay in celebration of its centenary.
Charles chatted with torchbearers, participants and families at the event to mark 100 years of Legacy in the quadrangle at Buckingham Palace on Friday.
Founded in 1923 by a small group of First World War veterans, Legacy supports thousands of veterans, spouses and children of Australian Defence Force (ADF) members who have been affected by the death or serious injury of a loved one.

Charles wore his ceremonial frock coat and sword, while the Queen Consort, who is Colonel of the Grenadier Guards, dressed all in red in a coat dress by Fiona Clare and a striking beret by Philip Treacy.
The monarch noted it had been some 85 years since a King’s Colour had been presented. He also paid tribute to the 70-reign of his mother the late Queen.
He added: ‘On such a special occasion, I particularly wanted to express my heartfelt appreciation to each and every one of you, as representatives from the three Services, for your loyal service over the course of her remarkable reign, to the late Queen who, I know, held you all in such high regard.’
