The Royal Family #11

[mindlessness]

I knew what @Boring Monday meant In part because I'm in a Commonwealth of Nations country, so by deduction figured the failed one in question was Cromwell's Commonwealth.

A fun fact: Australia is officially called the Commonwealth of Australia. The etymology of the word, and it's changing use, is pretty interesting: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commonwealth

Imo you get a mix of behaviour whatever class you're from, cold ruthless behaviour isn't the sole perogative of the upper classes just as kindness and compassion isn't the sole perogative of the lower classes.

And finding it embarrassing when the whole Country is embroiled in folie a deux grief fluffing is universal

yeah, especially as the men and women under Harry's command actually liked him and he spent most of his time socialising with them instead of inside the officers' mess.

Erm men???? That's a new one surely?

Oh I see the men in the army, got ya!!! Thought it was rumoured that he was another friend of Dorothys for a moment.

Ah ok the BBC article just said a donation to charity, didn’t mention her personally.

I think you were right actually, its just a payment to her charity

Edward and Andrew certainly look very like one another, rather than either of their siblings.

 

[Jane Tee]

From what I’ve read and seen on documentaries etc she showed favourites for Andrew pretty early on - does anyone know why?

And how was it shown?

There’s a few whispers that The Queen has covid. What do we think? The Palace is refusing to comment.

If she’s got omicron like I had then I wouldn’t worry too much. I’ve heard worse colds.

It is so weird that nobody else is going to be charged with anything. Was Andrew just the only person dumb enough to pose for a photo?

I don't know what Andrew did or didn't do but if 2 of my friends in their 30s/40s constantly had different teenage girls hanging around with them, even traveling abroad with them, then I would be majorly suspicious.

Slightly less suspicious if she’s introduced as a masseuse or an employee , rather than a friend though.

There were rumours that he allegedly wasn’t Phillip’s but Lord Porchester’s.

I can see the similarities and with Edward’s potential real father too.

You do know that Meghan Markle wasn't the first mixed race person to marry into the Royal Family?

Gary Lewis married Lady Davina Windsor in 2004

Diana was also of Indian descent.

From an experience point of view, I'd pick Mike Tindall over Kate - he's a well known rugby figure and would be a great ambassador in terms of public engagement but he's not royal so...

I meant in my post experience in terms of which experience going to a game would be preferable. Not in terms of experience in rugby, though obviously Mike as an ex-England Rugby player has more. No-one is debating that!

 

[Jane Tee]

It’s from what I’ve read and what the documentaries have said, that she showed favourites early on. I don’t know what she actually did, I wasn’t there?

Where did i say you were there?

I was wondering how she showed favouritism to one or the other.

 

[Okimbored]

men on my fathers side are all bald, men on my mother’s side still have thick hair. My brother is quite bald. So Andrew could have followed Porchy. He certainly looks like him.

I think the Queen has made a better granny than a mother. Both Eugenie and Beatrice adore her, Louise used to horseride with her until recently and went to Windsor Castle often after school. William and Harry both went regularly from Eton. There’s a lovely picture of TQ and Harry when she’s inspecting the troops, she’s beaming up at him and he has a wonderful smile.

I’ve always thought Andrew looks like Prince George, duke of Kent ever so slightly anyway

 

[Ohflogoff]

Can Andy go to prison?

 

[Rekyavikgirl]

ha ha!

The way I read was that her lady in waiting from her support bubble couldn’t sit with her (although did sit with her in the car) as they were following the rules with the amount of mourners allowed in the church - hence even Boris didn’t attend.

I thought Boris was invited but chose not to come.

 

[Boredofgrey]

The photos are all over the place so I came for a looksee on what people made of them - given I thought they were odd. Ok I do hope?

I was trying for humour - didn’t appreciate the context of your comment.

 

[elliebee27]

Ha ha - well they were promised Bond or something and William as a prank made them watch Twilight.

I hope he has matured.

 

[Ohflogoff]

I am so confused
