Analysis of the monarch’s Christmas broadcasts shows her cut-glass vowels have taken on a commoner’s touch
Re accents and the royals, The Times published this lack during the Jubilee:

Yeah I was going to reference that the Queen didn’t really sound that posh and given that most people would have grown up with her being the monarch it probably wouldn’t have mattered that much if she didRe accents and the royals, The Times published this lack during the Jubilee:

Oh I am here for the pen drama!Yeah I was going to reference that the Queen didn’t really sound that posh and given that most people would have grown up with her being the monarch it probably wouldn’t have mattered that much if she did
Charles is new and he has to build some sort of stability for himself. I’m not entirely sure the pen drama is helping a whole lot
Yes, and I also think the pen moments are such small events in the scale of these 10 days of mourning. But because of TV and social media and whatnot they get amplified.

Oh good question! I feel like the procession to Westminster also started at a very specific time. That was because of the tempo they were marching/walking at and wanting to arrive on the dot at 3pm. So perhaps it's something like that?Is there a reason why it starts at 10:44?
Oh wow that video is lovely. So many beautiful soothing accents, haha. Plus a bonus Tom Hardy (not me who has binge watched his CBeebies bedtime stories…)Anyone else as cynical as me about Beckham? The slating he has been getting about accepting millions for the world Cup and he pops up having queued for hours?
My spidey senses tells me his PR manager has said get out there Becks, long John's on and the next 12 hours will be well spent to turn the opinion of the common people?they will forget your selling your soul to the devil of a country like Qatar!
Also on previous thread someone said she would love KC to read a story on Calm app. Track back on his IG and he read "Twas a night before Christmas!" Perfectly soothing!

Just speculation but I saw the coffin will arrive at the abbey at 10:52am. Possibly a reference to her becoming the Queen in 1952. Of course they can’t do the service at 19:52pm because of all the services that are taking place, plus the procession.Is there a reason why it starts at 10:44?
