Nobody normal or sane believes it either so I think they're right not to respond to that one.
Oh you have an opinion or a point of view… shhhh!! People on this thread will not like that.. lol.. Do you own a tin foll hat.. “ cough” On another point. Yes I do agree with what you say regarding KP statements.
Remember when the world went stone mad after Diana died, wanting to see rivers of royal tears and the flag that's not normally flown raised to half-mast? There's been a sympathetic play and a film and a tv drama about how the crown survived all that.
Now everyone feels sorry for her sons and think it was awful that they were made to come out and face the public at the time. I think this will all blow over when Kate appears again.
Yep, many of them the same people who lined the streets wailing and screaming about a woman they never met, upsetting her poor kids. It's the done thing in Ireland for the whole extended family and friends to walk behind the coffin, but anyone they pass by has to stop and stay quiet, men take off their hats, religious people bless themselves. During Covid instead of a procession, the mourners lined the streets 2m apart.
It's very common in Ireland at least that you'd stop if you were walking along and a hearse was coming up the road, or pull in your car and let the procession pass regardless of if you knew the deceased. Same for commercial premises, in my town at least they'll still close the front doors and turn off/dim the lights if a funeral was passing.
I cringe to this day when I remember how the baying mob demanded that the boys be paraded in front of them.
I’m sure I didn’t suggest they should think people would behave that way; there’s no accounting for that level of crazy, obviously.
I have a theory - and you can of course shoot it down in flames because I am not British! I think when Henry VIII changed the state religion, he simply stepped into the role of Pope. Other countries where the Protestant faith took hold were reacting against the massive wealth of the Catholic Church, much of it milked from ordinary superstitious people who were obsessed with saints and relics in a way that was more pagan than Christian. So while the European Protestant churches went on a very austere and puritan course, Henry VIII took all the bling and pomp and ceremony for himself. The monarch became the head of the state religion, and while attendance at church declined and the everyday life of Britain is secular, the monarchy kept up all the holiness and devotion - I noticed this in particular while watching the State Opening of Parliament. That's so like Mass!
Yeah, I was about to say similar, pubs, shops etc. typically close their doors when a funeral is passing through.
I was in London at the time of Diana's death and a lot of people lost their sanity, there was a memorial book placed in work and the comments in there were ludicrous, I used to read it for a laugh. People wrote comments as if she was their friend that they knew well. The grief for the Queen was different, even I felt it as she had been around all my life, she was crowned before I was born so she was a kind of link continuously with family members who had passed on. Diana' s death caused hysteria and 1 year on only a few floral tributes were laid for her, so it wasn't even genuine.
But there is nothing to spin. Catherine has had abdominal surgery and is recuperating. It's the nutters on the internet and social media that are putting all the wild stuff out there. I wouldn't expect KP to acknowledge or respond to any of it.
Exactly! People criticising how they’re handling it. They’ve already had to say again what they said initially. They must feel like saying STFU!
