The Royal Family #3

[Thegreenbush96]

I can't imagine the Sunday Times would lead on William being angry at Harry if Philip is likely to die by tomorrow.

I love Lucy Worsley, her talks are amazing.

I've got her on my to watch list (for a few years admittedly ) i guess I could come off tattler and watch it instead of waiting for "being in the mood to watch it"

She visited Prince Philip in hospital when he was in with a bladder infection in 2012

Ah, right, that was after Sophie and Louise in 2003.

Any updates on Phil the Greek? It’s gone all quiet again hasn’t it?

I just keep seeing articles that says he's expected to stay in hospital for 'several days', which could still mean anything.

Prince Charles returns to Highgrove following Philip visit

Clarence House confirmed last night that Charles chose not to stay in London following his emotional visit to see the Duke of Edinburgh at London's King Edward VII hospital on Saturday.

Haha I remember when the Queen Mother died it was on a Saturday, I was only 8 or 9 I think and I was fuming all day cz none of my fave TV shows were on

I was at the checkout in Tesco, having been on a drill course all day, when my mobile rang and the OH said something about whether we'd been practicing half-masting the ensign. Of course, we did for real the following day!

The presenter on BBC News channel is. Could be purely coincidental.

And today too.

 

[Thegreenbush96]

The whole thing is just very strange. I think it’s interesting Arthur Edwards has asked that as the royals know him well so will have being more inclined to answer, plus the fact I can’t see PW going out doing engagements if his grandad is literally at deaths door.

However look at Diana, there not really trained to show emotion,it is the job first so to speak. I still find the lack of statement concerning.

Probally also not many reporters there due to distancing.

Interesting... are they practicing for imminent news?

Also they wouldn't use a coach for his funeral.

No update as of yet, I would mean early next week to be either yesterday or today.

They don’t seem as transparent as they have being previously on him at all, so it’s obviously a lot more serious,.

Someone on the Daily Mail comments section has said that Philip has sepsis and that’s why he’s been in hospital as long as he has. Sepsis is obviously a complication of an infection. Obviously this could be tosh, but it could explain why he’s been in as long as he has if they are trying to get it under control.

I had sepsis after the birth of my son and I wasn’t allowed home until 48 hours after my temperature had last spiked. Maybe that’s why they can’t give much of an update cause they’re waiting until it’s definitely down and stays down?

If (hopefully not), PP passes in this week, will the Oprah special go ahead?

Possibly? There might be more interest in it in America due to that. Oprah & CBS are not beholden to royal protocols

 

[Opendoor]

I wasnt entirely sure it was a wink. I watched loads of times and I dont really know what he did.

I think he got caught of guard

 

[whathastheworldcometo]

Just read that PP was so incensed when he found out the two Princes had to walk behind Diana's coffin that he chose to walk with them.

I've always liked him but have a lot more respect for him now.

Where did you read this, please? Would love to read up as well. Thanks

 

[Sea]

It was a question or a statement so don't start. No need to be rude but there u go......


It was a question not a statement

Fair enough, but it's not something that would have crossed my mind

 

[Keet]

His PR advisors are terrible tbh. Don't even know if the Corden skit was a good decision even though he came across well.

his advisors are mainly of not American which is why they keep reading the room wrong about the UK’s feelings and values. It might well be though that this is the plan all along and the US market is what they’re aiming for.

 

[Raininvain]

Stuck how? He'll move back over here and live in Kensington Palace or wherever. It's not as if he'll ever have to work or struggle for money.

Yes but what would he do back here exactly? he would be another Prince Andrew in some respects, its not like he can just pick up where he left off is it? Plus it would be mega embarrassing and shameful for him after giving everyone the middle finger.

 

[whathastheworldcometo]

I wonder if TQ is upset that Has violated her privacy and revealed what they gave them as a Christmas gift.

 

[slugella]

I love Lucy Worsley, her talks are amazing.

I've had her book about Queen Victoria on my to read list for ages - has anyone read it?

I love historical Royal chat but mines pretty limited to the Plantagenets and the Tudors. A little about the Stewertsbut anything either side of those is sketchy.

Yeah my knowledge is limited too! Enjoy everyone's insights here though I've learnt so much.

 

[BigMavis]

Well I’m a British historian.. so I would be definitely up for that

Get thee over there pronto!

Question for the thread;

What’s everyone’s favourite film regarding a recent Royal?

For example, The Kings Speech, Diana, The Queen etc etc.

I think, particularly with The Queen and Diana (the films) they just fell short of being good performances. I find that a lot with Royal films. I think The Crown has done the best, but I’m asking specifically about films. I’m interested to see if the new film with Kristen Stewart as Diana will be good, I don’t think it will be groundbreaking but I think it’ll be worth watching.

Anyways, let me know as I’d also really like some recommendations so I can binge on some more Royal viewing!
