according to my mother (who is apparently an expert as of todayIt was the Queen Mum who liked dubonnet and gin, wasn't it? What the fuck is dubonnet anyway? Is it something like Campari?
you mean you’ve never heard of the royal chicken washer? it’s one of the most prestigious roles in the household, she had one in every palaceDo you think the queen washed her chicken?
That's what I thought but I keep hearing media refer to her as Queen - I'm so confused!She’s Queen consort.
There are two types:That's what I thought but I keep hearing media refer to her as Queen - I'm so confused!
I have just wandered over from another thread where I said the same thing. It’s really surprises me and I think totally unfair. I doubt the queen would have wanted it either.I would say the FA Executives ARE part of the Establishment.
Will leave it there though as my actual point is that it's nonsense to cancel all sport. Just that really.
Make mine a treble. It's what she would have wanted.according to my mother (who is apparently an expert as of today) the queen mum used to drink a d&g before dinner every night and the queen followed suit.
it’s an aperitif (so guessing a little like campari), i’ve never had it! pop around to mine unpopular opinions thread and i’ll try and mix some up
There can also be dowager Queen as well - like when Queen Elizabeth II ascended the throne her mother was also called Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother. (Even more confusingly her grandmother, another Queen consort, was also still alive too - so there were 3 Queens.)There are two types:
Queen regnant - ie the ruling monarch (Queen Elizabeth was this)
Queen consort - ie the wife of the ruling King (Camilla at the moment)
Both are shortened to just "Queen". Easy
Nooooo surely not!
There is a famous picture of them at the funeral. Three Queens in mourning. Queen Elizabeth II, Queen Mary and Queen Elizabeth, The Queen Mother at Westminster as the coffin of King George VI arrives to lie in state.There can also be dowager Queen as well - like when Queen Elizabeth II ascended the throne her mother was also called Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother.

Respect!
Mine was oh crap am I going to lose pay again? When people started talking about 10 days of mourning. I feared genuinely for a shut down. I just lost over £150 on a Bank holiday and it is going to happen again. Luckily for only 1 day. When the Big boss said business as usual on our intranet I had to exclaim relief. I am sad for anyone who feels this loss but facing the cost of living crisis and rising living expenses taking another massive financial hit due to more Bank Holidays is something I do not need right now.I bet this was many people thoughts
