Current day.Out of interest are we talking current day Blair or PM Blair?
I know give it rest FGS. Anyway who did Liz truss have an affair with?Why are the DM so obsessed with Meghan? She is the top article again today - they are just giving her ammunition to complain about further down the line.
From seeing how she reacted to the presenter fainting in front of her at the husting, I’m convinced Liz Truss is a robot. She was one of the last people to see the Queen alive and I think anyone would forgive a personal anecdote under the circumstancesI don't know whether the clip is edited but you would have thought she would have started with a condolence? It's just so awkward from the clip
I think she always looks so unsure as to what she should be doing. Like she’s looking to the side waiting for someone to tell her yes that’s right and usher her around. Doesn’t set a great precedent for a confident PMI don't mind Liz Truss and I know she's had the most stressful week ever but she really does move just so awkwardly? Like a robot coming to life?
Boris mentioned in his speech that the bbc had asked him to talk about her in the past tenseI wonder when it was filmed? Edward and Sophie both look to have quite bloodshot eyes and it interviewed quite a few people in a short while. I’m sure they have the video packages prepared in advance but surely not interviews with her children or past PMs?
I agree. I wish they would stop.Why are the DM so obsessed with Meghan? She is the top article again today - they are just giving her ammunition to complain about further down the line.
I think they have a vendetta against her because of her sueing them and because they're very pro-royal anyway. Also, people obviously click on the stories which makes them money so why wouldn't they keep going. I think they could have left it off for the time being though. It's a bit tasteless at the moment. They could have run with this story after the funeral instead. I still read it though so am I any better...!I agree. I wish they would stop.
Whether there is any truth or not they are fuelling hatred.
It's becoming almost obsessive now. And actually I can see why H&M want to defend themselves and get their viewpoint across (though not in a constructive way most of the time)
Also Last Kingdom is Alfred The Great through Ethelred etc, The White Queen is Edward vi and Richard iii. Maybe the rest are too boring? You could do between Victoria and Elizabeth II. That would be interesting as it would cover The Royals during WWI and II.It'll be interesting what they do with the last episode of The Crown. I know they've said that it will end with the Queen Mother's death, which makes an amount of sense, but I was thinking just now that I wonder if they'll fade that into a "what happened next" text ending or something.
And, semi-related, I've been saying for a while that after The Crown is done they should go a bit further back in time. But Victoria has been done a lot. The Regency has been done a lot. The Tudors has been done excessively. So keep going further. A series which opens with the death of Edward the Confessor in January 1066. The first series ends with William The Bastard's coronation the following Christmas. Then you carry on and have ~1000 years of history before it becomes awkward again, and hopefully by the time you reach the Wars Of The Roses it's been a while since the last Tudor thing.
Why is she so awkward?! I have second hand embarrassment just watchingI’m not a royalist, but really like these threads, and find everyone’s comments so interesting.
I always thought this would be such a sombre time for Charles, and I know it is, but seeing him smiling at people at Buckingham Palace, I didn’t expect that.
And then this clip, where he says he will “try to keep everything going”I know he’s had time to prepare for this, but it can’t be easy, and as a fellow human, it’s sweet to see him coping.
Apparently she had a Damascene conversion to supporting Brexit just after her kids Irish passports had been issuedLiz Truss is an odd one for sure. I'm still shocked she's only in her 40s, I thought she was mid 50s. I was also surprised she has children. She must be such an awkward parent. Can't imagine her playing games with kids. Actually can't imagine her doing anything other than being robotically wheeled out for TV appearances
Me too, it’s excruciatingWhy is she so awkward?! I have second hand embarrassment just watching
Some mp called Mark someone ( while she was pregnant) also rumours if affairs with Kwasi Kwarteng and I think Matt Hancock but that may be Amber Rudd.Current day.

It actually underminds Charles as well. He is obviously trying to keep things on an even keel and there they are merrily making the waters choppier for clicks. I hope ‘The Source’ gets a boot up the bum if they find out who it is. It’s just not the time to sell out yout King for a few bob.I think they have a vendetta against her because of her sueing them and because they're very pro-royal anyway.

It does undermine him. He may be trying to build bridges and either the DM are making things up and they dont have 'a source' or someone from his household is leaking to the DM and making it harder. Either way, the DM are encouraging a rift between father and son for their own benefit. It is more plausible that either the press got it wrong and she was never going to go or they asked and were told it wasn't appropriate so she didn't go. No dramaIt actually underminds Charles as well. He is obviously trying to keep things on an even keel and there they are merrily making the waters choppier for clicks.

I have literally just been thinking that maybe I’ll get a bottle of wine in for tonight and start a rewatch of The CrownDoes anyone else have a sudden urge to rewatch The Crown now from the beginning???
I saw a photo of Louise in a car going in but I’m not sure where as can’t find much else reported.I would be more interested to know if there was any conversation about their other grandchildren going up to Balmoral. We have to assume Louise and James didn’t go as they’d have been with Edward and Sophie but what about Peter, Zara, Beatrice and Eugenie? I guess all going with partners it would then be quite a crowd showing up.
