A king, a coronation party and a former mayor

LONDON — Out in Clapham, a rather small and charming local “Big Lunch” coronation party is being held on Tregarvon Road, hosted by Tom Tugendhat, who just happens to be the Minister of State for Security. Thereby pitching Toronto into a premature mayoral election featuring a plethora of candidates, none particularly seductive, you should forgive the expression. “That is a mischaracterization,” insists Tory, referring to rumours that he’s held conversations about possibly testing the waters. But in London, where he arrived in time to watch the coronation on TV, he’s enjoying the anonymity, even when a reporter catches up with him. Tory actually met Charles at a small dinner party a few years ago and liked him right away.
