2:47pm is being widely shared as the time of her death. And Princess Margaret always wanted to be cremated, it wasn't a case of that was the only way she could fit in the vault.

Yes, shows of wealth and workshyness and bad temper at this point in Britain's history will go down badly. I think Harry's book may disclose some serious issues -- he may not be the brightest bulb but his ghost writer and publishers' lawyers certainly are.
Interesting! I think a lot of girls might have picked St. Andrew's because of William. It's the kind of thing an 18 year old might do but as they got older or the relationship got serious surely she'd have to move beyond the get him at all costs mentality. That Carol Middleton story is
You've mentioned her being introverted and she does seem like that so why on earth would she want to be with William? I'm introverted and it would literally be my worst nightmare to attract any kind of public attention. She hasn't done much with her role either. She's not done loads of royal or charity work. She doesn't use it to mingle with celebs as Diana and Meghan did (apart from Wimbledon) and she doesn't seem to court the limelight or the media. She was really uncomfortable with the attention in their engagement interview and she rarely speaks in public. She always gives the impression that she'd prefer to be in the country with the kids living a quiet life. So why was she so determined to get William?!
I think she loves William, the lifestyle and privileges, so she can have that country stay at home wife/mum thing going on. Unfortunately the public pay for it. I would want some return on that social contract! No problem being a stay at home mum - I am!!! - but when you've got public duties to uphold you should do both. So many women juggle 40 hour work weeks and parenting, why can't they do a few engagements per week? You can still be totally present for your kids. During the school day I do lots of home things, look after my elderly mum and take her to her many appointments and such, and have free time to myself to exercise or play video games... or hang out here on Tattle!!!
I'm not an introvert but it sounds really a life full of not so great trade offs for a wonderful lifestyle. I'd put up and shut up and do anything asked of me to live that life though!

Yeah, Richard Kay had a story that smells like a direct riposte from Charles' office chastising Harry for leaking the story about how angry he was that the ERII insignia were stripped from his uniform. (A friend of his was authorized to speak to the Times of London.)
Also being floated, possibly at the instigation of the Palace or William, is the possibility Charles will prevent the accession of Archie and Lilibet to prince titles they're now entitled to as grandchildren of the monarch. It's suggested this is the Damocles sword Charles can wield over revelations including any nasty funeral disclosures in Harry's book.
RICHARD KAY: The King's first test is to resolve this family crisis
RICHARD KAY: King Charles has an in-tray bursting with challenging demands, from shoring up a Commonwealth to holding together a fractious United Kingdom.
Absolutely! Why are we paying for their nanny, housekeeper cook and numerous office staff, plus staff for all of their separate homes if they want to both be stay at home parents?
Harry seems to not understand why the initials were removed. He is no longer an aide-de-camp as of 2021. Therefore no initials, no fancy gold braid, you made your bed, lie in it. Maybe he shouldn't have given Granny and the rest of the family the middle finger.
Was it her or has she just gone along with Carol's plan? That story about the breakup is yuk
What are the public engagements people are talking about, waving at crowds, shaking a few hands, glittering on a red carpet, making buns?

I'd like to see real engagements. Go visit charities. Small businesses. Meet people. Talk to them. Give organizations and such exposure. That's the job. Doesn't sound hard. I'd love to go meet all sorts of people and see what things they are doing to serve their communities or charities that do good in the world. The PR of a royal visit is great, no doubt. It gives a lot of exposure and has helped with lots of funding, regardless of one's opinion on the usefulness of a monarchy or the royal family. That and if they are interested in self preservation connecting to their people is a damn good idea.
Less the glitzy movie premieres and sports events.
There's a royal engagements calendar on their site.
But most of the time it shows a few events a month, currently all empty now (understandable although next week the mourning ends and there's still nothing listesd). https://www.royal.uk/future-engagements
You hear stories of Anne doing 500 engagements a year as the workhorse of the family, but does she really? So few are ever listed. Back in early aug just three events listed for the whole family https://web.archive.org/web/20220802103157/https://www.royal.uk/future-engagements
I think it still it comes down to what The Queen said …
I have to be seen to be believed.
People who think they are paying their wages’ want to know they are getting bang for their buck. Zoom calls and Team meetings may take up some of the time but they still need to do the bread and butter royalling and open supermarkets in the shires.

There is no lifestyle trade off that could make me want her life! I think she'd very likely have had that life anyway just with a different husband.
They def need to up their engagements. They could easily fit in some more while the kids are at school even if they are local. I understand why they're prioritising family life now because they do have a lot of responsibility coming their way but they need to show that they'll be capable when the time comes too. When they don't have to worry about normal jobs like doing laundry etc while the kids are at school, then what do they do all day?!

Now they have The Wales gig they are going to have to step up more. Charles is going to be busy doing rounds of visits and tours and meetings to cement his Kingship which leaves a lot of slack for the ones next in line to take up.
Ya they'll have to and if they do step up now then I think it was fair enough for them to be taking it easy while their kids were young. They know they'll be working well past retirement age so I suppose there must be some trade off. Charles is entering the busiest phase of his career at 73.
I did see a video of Anne knocking around a while ago of her being quite surprised people had turned out to meet her. She seems dead on. I suppose she's learned her place 
Same. I'd love to re-watch it but it seems like it's been scrubbed from the Internet. Surely not an easy task these days. I always wonder if the RF got some kind of injunction against it being re-broadcast.
I always wonder if Oprah herself removed it
I think that's more likely. After all the lies were exposed it made her look like a poor interviewer for not questioning them a bit more in the first place.I always wonder if Oprah herself removed it
When I used to look at the H&M thread I remember they were looking at ways to get it stored on their Wiki. As far as I remember they figured out a way of doing it, so you might find it there.
