On the news they made it sound like the school was open. I just had a quick look on their website but couldn't find anything that says if they're open or not. A local (to me) private school states on their website that they are only for keyworker children still so you could well be right.Hum interesting about the Perv of York, I would think that Charlotte goes to a private school and they are not opening their doors until the autumn, state school kids can be lab rats until then.
Private schools have all reopened here. My child’s one certainly has and I think the vast majority of YR, Y1 and Y6 kids are back in.Hum interesting about the Perv of York, I would think that Charlotte goes to a private school and they are not opening their doors until the autumn, state school kids can be lab rats until then.
Okay so this is the school 's own decision, as I didn't think that they had to follow Gov guidelines like State Schools?Private schools have all reopened here. My child’s one certainly has and I think the vast majority of YR, Y1 and Y6 kids are back in.
As I understand it, yes they can make their own decisions but private schools have been heavily ‘encouraged’ to follow govt advice. In fact some wanted to open up to more year groups but the govt wasn’t in favour. And not all state schools have chosen to reopen for various (understandable) reasons.Okay so this is the school 's own decision, as I didn't think that they had to follow Gov guidelines like State Schools?
Elizabeth Woodville is my favourite English Queen. There’s zero evidence she was in love with Richard III though that’s just something that Philippa Gregory made up in her books. Great fiction but not true I’m afriad. Also she wasn’t a witch putting curses on peopleThe last of the Plantaganets are fascinating too. Edward IV married a commoner and had a whole load of kids, including the Princes in the Tower. Their daughter is Henry's mother. She fell in love with Richard III and then married Henry VII. One of those probably had her brothers killed. It was rumoured that a curse was put on the male line of those who had killed the Princes. Richard's son died, then Henry VII eldest son died and the Tudors we done for a couple of generations later. I went to the Tower of London when I was a kid and bought a book on them from the gift shop and became obsessed with them! Then I forgot about them until quite recently when I picked up the Phillipa Gregory novels.
I have always thought she was an old bitch. The granny to the nation line used to make me feel sick. Especially when she was whisked off to a private hospital because she had a fish bone stuck in her throat. My Nan was having treatment for cancer at the time and it highlighted the class difference.I know someone who once worked as a footman for the queen mother, most of her staff hated her and never stayed in the job long. Even though the public thought she was a lovely old girl she was a right cow behind doors.
Would you rather she had queue-jumped at an NHS A&E, taking the care away from somebody who couldn’t afford to pay for it?I have always thought she was an old bitch.

Shes my favourite Queen too! Really feisty and strong! I obviously know she wasn't a witch. I loved the curse story though even it was obviously made up after the fact. I read the Hollow Crown, which is factual and I'm sure in there it said her daughter Elizabeth of York was in love with Richard before she was married to Henry Vii. ( or he was in live with her) I'm convinced Henry had the Princes in the Tower killed though, even after reading several sources saying it was RichardElizabeth Woodville is my favourite English Queen.

She did however have a lot of influence over her husband hence jealous ex advisors (Warwick) rising up and using the easiest slur against an intelligent strong woman - witchcraft.
But that’s not one of the options that was open to her at the time she got the fishbone stuck, so it was infinitely preferable that she pay for her own care.I’d rather everyone had equality of access dependent on need, rather than status.
She did “pay for her own care”. She was spending the money taken from the British public.But that’s not one of the options that was open to her at the time she got the fishbone stuck, so it was infinitely preferable that she pay for her own care.
Hear hearShe did “pay for her own care”. She was spending the money taken from the British public.
I feel quite embarrassed.. I have never heard of her. That's my weeks reading sorted!Elizabeth Woodville is my favourite English Queen.

There's a town named after her. You could plan a visit! (Ok don't, there's not much there)I feel quite embarrassed.. I have never heard of her. That's my weeks reading sorted!
Love this thread and the interspersing of Tudor history with modern dayYes there are all sorts of stories about how ugly Anne of Cleves was but basically Henry was obese, impotent and had a wound on his leg that was infected and effectively rotting away. He blamed Anne of Cleves for being so ugly that he couldn't get it up even though they got on very well and he treated her very fondly after their divorce. He couldn't conceive with pretty 17 year old Kathryn Howard or Catherine Parr either. She went on to have a child after his death with her next husband.
Yes I do too believe that Charles is probably a nice person, sure he didn’t treat Di very well but that doesn’t make him an awful person, he didn’t love her.And Phil. For all the criticism of Charles, I think he is a decent man. From what I've seen he manages to go to other countries and demonstrate a respect for their culture and traditions, which is more than his father has ever managed to do.
And you suggest she should ‘take’ more by using up NHS resources paid for by...? The British taxpayer.She did “pay for her own care”. She was spending the money taken from the British public.
Even if it is open, can you imagine the hoo-ha if the family decamped from Norfolk to London under the on-going lockdown, even if they are technically allowed to do so?On the news they made it sound like the school was open.
