You're not making too much of it to my mind. In 1953, there was this gritty adult audience that remembered one or two bitter world wars and enduring the Blitz along with their lovely young Queen and her family.
Seventy years on, we have a very different audience, glued to their smart phones and unable to pay attention to very much for more than three minutes, least of all a multi-hour glorification of some stuffy old codger to whom they never could relate. ... Perhaps they should revise the event to be Queen Camilla's coronation - she has shown herself to be a very relatable personality.
