With the best will in the world, though, I struggle to see how she could have continued as an actress … all her roles would be scrutinised, cries of she only got the role because of who she is and then they would have to be agreed by committee to make sure there was nothing inappropriate that could cause the RF embarrassment.
My understanding was as indirect heirs the wouldn't have got titles as great grandchildren anyway. An exception was made for William's in case the first born turned out to be a girl
No one was wearing a seatbelt. It’s a miracle that the bodyguard survived.
That’s the issue - importing American racial problems. Uppity in the UK doesn’t have the same meaning whatsoever so whoever made that connection should have realised that in this country, the country where it was said, that it wasn’t racial at all.
I would also say that it’s not really the media which is the issue in this day and age but social media. That’s where I’ve heard the worst comments about the two.
Well, she did a few steamy scenes in the past and she only got the Spotify and Netflix deals because of who she is.
The Queen amended the letters patent for direct heirs - firstly to take account of the fact male primogeniture had been done away with and secondly to give the direct heirs a title even if they were great grandchildren and traditionally too far down the automatic title tree.
According to my understanding the children of the direct heir will get titles, all the children, but only of the direct heir.
They would have got titles as grandchildren. I think that is what was being removed. I agree with Charles on that, but I think Harry felt slighted, as George, Charlotte etc got titles as great grandchildren, because they are directly in line. The whole system of Monarchy is terrible for people in it.
Or who he is
Ah yes, because the poor wee souls haven't had a chance to say anything at all...ever.
and yet in the documentary theres a clip of M and Archie who arent wearing seatbelts in a moving car!
The whole thing is laughable. I (re)signed up to Netflix for the Christmas season but I won't be watching them.
It’s sad that it’s come to it that you feel you can’t ask those questions. I like getting to know people and enjoy hearing about their religion and culture so would regularly ask people I worked with about where their family were from, their religious celebrations, their language and those kind of questions, I could see it made them happy to talk about it and had one even make the point that I was the first white person to show any interest. They even started teaching me common Arabic words and would have a word of the day for me . In one team I worked in we had 4 south Asian Muslims and about 10 white people and because people hadn’t made the effort to get to know them outside of the football team they support or their university, even basic things like picking a halal restaurant to go for a team meal were overlooked. I think most people are happy to talk about themselves and culture if you ask properly and seem genuinely interested.
Which is lovely … but I’d assume if someone made it clear they didn’t want to talk about it you wouldn’t keep pressing them to?
Oh 100%. But it I'd what is is
No but that wasn’t the point, I was replying to someone who said they don’t even start the conversation anymore for fear of upsetting someone.
Yes completely ridiculous. They were in frail health because they were sick and old. You could argue that doing the Oprah interview when Philip was clearly dying was thoughtless but it's a stretch to say it was a factor in his death
