I was once of the opinion, some years ago, that Haz was good with children, interacted with them well and would love some children of his own. I thought that he would make a good father and this being the case I hoped he would find 'the one', get married, have kids and live happily ever after. I still believe if he had found the right wife his life could have been changed around. Yes, she would have had her work cut out doing it and it may have taken many years but it could have been achieved.I’m not sure tbh. I’m not sure how much more you can modernise an archaic hereditary institution! It’s great that girls now have parity but you can never get rid of the need for bloodline and parenthood from the moment of birth.
Not just because I am one (!) but I could see perhaps a lesbian couple being ok because you could use the royal half’s egg and have the non-royal partner carry. It would be both their legal child from birth so perhaps donated sperm (especially from a family member of the non-royal) would be alright. I’m not at all sure though. It would need all the realms and territories to agree too and I don’t think that would ever happen.
But you can never have surrogacy because it always needs adoption or a parental order. There’s a break in the chain - the kid isn’t both of theirs from birth. I’m not sure the RF can ever go there tbh. I think a gay king would just have to have the next in line as his heir.
If the Harkles hadn’t been such grifting idiots, they could have begun the conversation! They’d have had a lot of support, especially as infertility is rocketing worldwide, and even if their kids weren’t in the LOS, they could have got credit for perhaps paving the way for future heirs. Morons!
Tbh we’re only 3-4% of the population so its odds on the LGBT issue won’t arise. But the infertility one definitely will at some point. If they could agree legal children (with royal bloodline) from birth were ok, it would allow for a non-royal partner to be infertile. But equally they can just say they’re sticking to the status quo and have next in the LOS as heir. There have been tons of previous monarchs who died without an heir so it’s no biggie really! Wolfie’s not in the LOS but he’s still a loved member of the family.They aren't thinking of it right now because no one is in that situation, they will wait until the surrogate children of an LGB Monarch are on Oprah & Netflix complaining about homophobia being the reason why they have no titles or claim to the throne.
Meghans cheap, grifting, freebie home shopping catalogue mentality was never going to work in the top echelon of World Society.That frugality seems to be there alright. This is old, old money we're talking about. The kind of people who do buy high end but purely because, assuming such things are maintained, they will last for decades since such things are built to last. The best example for me is Williams watch. He is a Prince and money is no object. He could commission a one of a kind piece from a watchmaker like Roger Smith but he still wears his Omega, a gift from his Mum when he turned 16. Not exactly a cheap Casio but retaining it infers there is an old school/money mentality in the family. He clearly cherishes it and, as mentioned, once he gets it serviced then it will probably be gifted to one of his sons. You then have Meghan coming in and thinking that just because there was an abundance of money to spend then one and done outfits were acceptable. The idea of Catherine repurposing previously worn outfits was likely a head scramble as in Why would you do that? Why can't we accept freebies? I can totally see an impressionable Harry thinking doing Insta-like "collabs" with designers or becoming endorsement figures for luxury items was some grand way of modernising the monarchy, that it was financially prudent because the designers would be gifting them and no money needed to be spent by Pa. Understandable pushback against doing that would then rile him up.
Turned into an argument with people criticising the dress and a couple of sugars.Fb Sewing Bee page.
Someone posted a picture of the red dress and said it was a dreadful fit.
Lots of people agreed, then someone called them all racists.
We've had gay Kings in the past but of course in those days they were still expected to marry, impregnate the wife to obtain an heir and then they could carry on with their gay lovers as they pleased.I’m not sure tbh.

Definitely a thought provoker. Got me wondering about some of the non-Royal inheritances of the past, where a title went several branches across the tree in the absence of an heir. Now reimagine that scenario where there is an “heir”, but from a surrogate gestational carrier.Tbh we’re only 3-4% of the population so its odds on the LGBT issue won’t arise. But the infertility one definitely will at some point. If they could agree legal children (with royal bloodline) from birth were ok, it would allow for a non-royal partner to be infertile.

I wonder if Sparry really is the bio father of Aldi and Lidl. I’d never realised just how likely it is that prolonged coke use makes you infertile and gives you defective sluggish sperm (cannabis causes low motility too but that can be reversed if you stop). I don’t have any sympathy either way since if he is he created his own problem by being a druggie all his life and freezing what swimmers he had left by falling drunk into a snowdrift!
The names of godparents are entered into the Baptismal Register. There was no baptism/christening of Ffark so no Baptism Certificate. No godparents therefore, but these three Tiggy, Charlie and Marko can be relied on to keep schtum and allow their names to be published as godparents in the press. Heaven knows what story they were spun, but their names were only released 6 months after the event.None of them featured in the photo released after the Christening. Does anyone else think that's odd? It's also unusual that no family members were asked to be godparents.
From the internet, it says that you can have godparents without a christening. But that would be unthinkable in the Royal Family and would never happen.You can only have godparents if the children are baptised. There was a ceremony for Archie, but not for Lili. At the time I could understand why they would want to protect the privacy of Archie's godparents, but now I see its yet another ploy to create drama and interest while saying "leaves us alone". Twats.
Lovely photos of them.Good to see they are still close and I am sure Anne is a good support for KC.
Neither Andrew nor Edward seem so close to their siblings.
I hadn’t, but a few searches found it and led me to the blog. Hilarious, & the 70’s still haven’t apologised for the crimes against fashion.I looked through every one…and laughed (and coughed my arse off!!) Funny stuff!! Btw @Verfugbar did you ever see the link I posted about the JC Penney catalog? If not let me know & I’ll OT it for you!! Omg!! It’s comedy gold!!
Oh for fucks sake SHUT UP!!!
Reading about it, I think the Bradford movie is about black USA servicewomen coming to the UK to sort out the post for USA servicemen in the UK and then again in Paris. These USA servicewomen, were basically on a USA base, which would have been under US military law. I kinda got the impression they were dealing with US army post, which had got backlogged?Because Tyler Perry is such a gruesomes fan I am wondering how he is going to portray the British people in the Bradford movie.
Is it being filmed later this month.
