Countdown to Coronation of Charles III

Music will feature a wide range; including gospel and Greek Orthodox...

A new, coronation version of “CATS!” since things are so catty with the BRF?

Sir Elton John must be pissed!

No one cares.

Sir Elton chose wrongly when befriending members of the BRF, then. He chose the ones who dislike Charles and Camilla.

Applications are now open for closing of streets to enable coronation day street parties.

Queen Camilla is swapping out the Kohinoor diamond for something else in her coronation crown.

CPB's grandchildren will have a prominent role in coronation.

If the Sussexes had any sense, they'd eagerly accept an invitation, be on their best behavior, stoically be unresponsive to any boos or catcalls, take whatever treatment the family wants to dish out, or, withhold from them, and fly back home.

From a pure PR standpoint, that's a win-win for both sides.

Adel, Ed Sheeran and Shania Twain turned Charles down, but don't despair, Kate will give a two hour rendition of Chopsticks

Music and musicians - Coronation of Elizabeth II

[quote] Countdown to Coronation of Charles III

I'll check back in on about part seventeen of this incredibly boring thread on this unbelievably dull topic.

When even Shania Twain says no ...

Camilla’s commoner grandchildren will play a big part in the coronation, but the royal quadroon Prince Archie isn’t invited?

That is racist.

Will Abbey seats be assigned according to complexion?

At last, at least one music artist has said "yes".

Is Lulu available?

I DEMAND that all music at the coronation be of African origin.

Yeah, Charles....nobody cares.

Its funny how with the death of HRM all of this seems so silly and outdated. Bowing for Camilla? And Charles? Really??

They should have just given it to Will.

Andrew probably just refashioned the theme from Love Never Dies. Watch.

Despite invites being cut right back, at least one power-gay peer has a prominent in the ceremony, and will be there in freshly steamed ermine. No, not Mandy!

Charlie bit me!

[quote] Applications are now open for closing of streets to enable coronation day street parties.

Street parties? You mean like the Folsom Street ones that Great-Uncle Edward has told me about???

Old white men in OP’s photo.

I dreamt I was at the Coronation last night. Somehow Charles has adopted me and I sat right beside Camilla, and then Charles was asking my opinion of stuff. I wonder how many people are dreaming about the coronation amd Charles as their father?

Camilla is to be outfitted with a new collar and leash.

Queen Camilla will be crowned with Queen Mary's crown.

"At the moment of his coronation, the king will wear St. Edward’s Crown, a 17th-century solid gold frame set with rubies, amethysts, sapphires, garnets, topazes and tourmalines. And the queen consort will be crowned with Queen Mary’s Crown, which was recently altered to include three diamonds totaling more than 175 carats from Queen Elizabeth II’s personal collection."

I think Elton will be ok, r5.

Attaboy Charlie.

Illegitimi non carborundum.

Prince Albert and his consort Princess Charlene are first royals to announce their acceptance of invitation to coronation of KC3. Their children however will not accompany their Serene Highnesses to UK.

This should be his theme:

And ABBA will do a special one-off live performance of "Does Your Mother Know?" for Prince Andrew.

Did Their Serene Highnesses confirm separate hotel suites, per usual?

"Young Girl" will play in honor of Prince Andrew

"Charles the turd, Super shart,

Just who the fuck do you think you art?"

Prince and Princess of Monaco and family are planning a trip to USA later this year. Can't wait to see how that goes.

Princess Charlene is likely laying in a supply of drugs to get her through meeting the Kelly family in Philadelphia. Her Serene Highness likely will have someone look up exactly where the place is and explain why she must go.

Well I guess I don’t need to be checking the mail every day for my invite.

Fuck that old homosexual boy and Andrew Webber!

Betty Lynn and Miss Dunaway will sing ALW's newly-composed emotional duet, "Heavy is the Head."

I don't think Elton is siding with the Montecito Moaners anymore....

The Sussexes have been offered Princess Margaret's Kensington Apartment, fully furnished with fabulous antiques.

What is that varmint on Elton John's head in R40?

"All three of the Prince of Wales’s children are expected to take part in the King’s coronation procession at Westminster Abbey, The Times can reveal."

MM's head will explode in one, two, three....

"The Duke and Duchess of Sussexes’ children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, are not currently factored into the plans, The Telegraph understands."

I'm angry at God for not killing Charles before his mother died.

This worthless dolt's entire life's purpose was to sit around and wait for her to croak. It would have been SO friggin' hilarious if she'd outlived him.

This is such a cheap arse affair compared to ERII's coronation. Then they closed the Abbey for the best part of a year for construction!!

I rather thought the anthem should be Ding dong the witch is dead.

[quote] It would have been SO friggin' hilarious if she'd outlived him.

I'm lol-ing just thinking about it!

R46

Westminster Abbey only has capacity for 2,200 persons (2,000 were invited to funeral of QEII). That railway and other extensive work done in 1952 was to add tiers and galleries which expanded seating capacity to 8,000. Modern safety regulations will not allow such a thing to happen again (nor really since IIRC), so no need for a railway and so on.

It also explains why guest list for coronation of KC3 isn't as extensive as it otherwise might have been. They've only got those two thousand some odd seating and that's it.

Yes, r15. They're aiming for an ombre effect.

charles and camilla couldn't find a singer from England to sing at the coronation?

I guess no one wants to associated with those two

Welsh bass-baritone Bryn Terfel will be singing at KC3's coronation.

Line up thus far:

"These include a new Coronation Anthem by Andrew Lloyd Webber, a Coronation March by Patrick Doyle, a new work for solo organ embracing musical themes from countries across the Commonwealth by Iain Farrington, along with new works by Sarah Class, Nigel Hess, Paul Mealor, Tarik O'Regan, Roxanna Panufnik, Shirley J. Thompson, Judith Weir, Roderick Williams and Debbie Wiseman. In total there will be six pieces for orchestra, five choral works and one instrumental work."

[quote]a new work for solo organ

Pics please.

R19 is the “HRM” troll. It’s so subtly wrong that it enrages me every time 😂

Time for spritz... the reek here is bad .. Deranger Thread Fumigant

^ Lil Archie?

R53 Crikey! Excitement is in the air!

I like the York Girls are Nice and Should Get More Royal Duties troll.

The derangers are the klan grannies.

I can't imagine anyone really being remotely interested in this. An excuse to party perhaps but other than that a huge bore. It's 2023 and the brf is inconsequential.

[quote]If the Sussexes had any sense, they'd eagerly accept

Maybe they aren't interested like millions of other people? I mean I'd rather watch TV myself.

Thank you for those three comments masquerading as three separate comments, R60 - R62.

The block will out.

Now fuck off.

Read it and weep Derangers (15.6%) LOL

^^

Fuck him.

R63 a tad OT but why do you block someone if you keep reading them? Actually how DO you? I've never blocked anyone, so I'm just curious.

R67, I didn't read them. But when I posted R63, there was a three post gap. I have blocked that vandal previously I suppose. Pretty obvious what was going on.

R66 No longer necessary dear. I got the job.

I thought ALW was dead.

If the SNP succeeds in putting republicanism on their agenda platform, which is the intention of their likely new muslim leader, it will be a complete disaster not only for the Union, but for the future of the monarchy in Britain.

If somehow it did happen - Scotland abandoned the throne - I wonder what they'd do with the Scottish properties, Balmoral, Birkhall, etc.

On one hand, there's a lot of happy memories and history attached to Scotland, over generations. On the other hand, if Scotland departs the union, does it look right for the royal family to maintain strong ties to the country? You could get a massive amount of money in selling Balmoral or any of the places. They might want even more cash on hand, if the deluge seems likely.

I heard ALW suggested to Charlie to take center stage at the end of the ceremony, and sing:

"This time I'm staying,

I'm staying for good...

I am back where I was born to be...

With this crown, I'll be meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee"

Glenn Close is coaching him on how to deliver the lines.

R71 Is it a coincidence that Royalists derangers and Trumper deplorables tick all the same boxes?

If the monarchy is abolished, I think life will continue.

After finishing Harry's book "Spare", there really is no reason for the monarchy. He makes compelling cases why this should have been buried along with his Granny in September.

They were they just don't know it yet dear.

I cannot imagine caring about this.

He couldn't sing it any worse than Glenn, though I suppose she'll try for the crown anyway.

Honestly, she's worse than ever now she hears the clock ticking.

Countdown to my country cunt coronation

Glenn turned 76 the other day (March 19). I wonder if she still believes the movie of the ALW musical is still getting made, and she will be starring as 50 year old Norma Desmond ?

Quite honestly, I wish she'd write her memoir - that's one book I would love to read. Especially the "Sunset Blvd" chapters. Would they rival Patti's ?

If only the sun would set on this foolish notion. Old ladies.

God that means the only performer there's gonna be Sarah fucking Brightman.

Queen Camilla stole a gem she likes from another woman and will be wearing that to the coronation.

What an exciting gathering of septuagenarians and other really old people....

So exciting!

Continuity. Tradition. The nation's history.

For you your Majesty!

OLDFINGER !!

[quote]Continuity. Tradition. The nation's history.

Wow, breathtaking...I can't possibly miss it now.

[quote] Continuity. Tradition. The nation's history.

Sentiments like this are fine, but the funny thing is, when Americans say the same sort of things about their own country, they’re scorned as sentimental rubes.

R88 why do you care? Amazingly, the Coronation isn’t designed to appeal to Americans. I’m sure this will come as a shock to you but your opinion is completely irrelevant.

R90, you’re right, it’s not designed for Americans. That’s why we kicked British ass in 1776.

Everyone has an opinion. The thread doesn’t say, “don’t post your opinion unless you’re British,” does it…

Good Lord, could we please save a fucking "countdown" for 1 May??!!

I'm still working off the carbs and alcohol I imbibed during the ten days of QEII's funerary observances.

Why does everything associated with this have to come down to wars fought 250 years ago?

I mean to say, why not start tying it to the Wars of the Roses and the Battle of Bosworth whilst at it?

DL misanthropes are the dullest of all.

I was at the Battle of Bosworth. You're no Battle of Bosworth R93

R93 for dolts like R91 if it’s not “we kicked your asses in 1776” it’s “we saved your asses in WW2”.

They have no other response.

It’s as relevant as Britain and Canada (1812 war), Vietnam (Vietnam War), Native Americans (Red Cloud’s War), China (Formosa Expedition), Laos (Laotian Civil War), Cuba (Bay of Pigs), and Lebanon (Lebanese Civil War) not being able to resist “we kicked your asses”. It’s done and mostly more recently than 1776.

Good times.

Hilarious that these deranged royalist lickspittles assume anyone who is not wildly enthusiastic about Charlie and his Side Piece or who doesn't want to drink the blood of the Sussexes must be filthy Americans. Same way Trumptards think we must be ANTIFA. Cultist gotta cult regardless of nationality. Mental illness knows no borders.

You sound pretty sane yourself, doll.

It never ceases to amaze me how Brits always have a group to blame for the dwindling interest in their archaic monarchy but the monarchy itself.

Latest poll on the monarchy: 55% of Britons think the monarchy is good for Britain, of those 30% think it is very good, 18% want an elected Head of State, the rest are Don't Knows.

And that's with a far less popuiar monarch than the last one, with a rogue son, a rogue brother, and a marriage grudgingly accepted after 18 years.

The government knows it would need close to 80% polls against the monarchy even to contemplate a referendum. That's the reality.

The British monarchy isn't going anywhere, any time soon. Especially if Charles pops off sooner than his parents did, and the enormously popular younger couple take over with their brood of attractive children moving into their teen years and commanding space all over the magazines.

Charlotte has inherited Diana's legs, that could be seen in the Mother's Day photos. She's going to be stunning. George is going to be the next Catch of the World, Louis is going to be breaking hearts the way William did at 16.

Only a fool would predict the end of the monarchy any time soon.

But it seems to help some of the misanthropes of DL to rant so. I suppose all that rage over the quality of Meals of Wheels has to go somewhere.

If Scotland leaves the UK, the SNP has stated that will retain the Windsor-Glücksburg as monarch but the governments will be separate. It is sorta like Austria & Hungary pre WWI. The emperor of Austria was ALSO the King of Hungary but the were two separate countries.

If Scotland vacates the UK, I believe they will attempt to join the UK as a "single" state which will result in a hard border between Scotland and England.

I think Scotland missed its chance when they failed to force another referendum post Brexit and things have swung back the other way at the moment unfortunately. Scotland is likely to stay part of the union for a while longer yet.

When you listen to ALW’s anthem, as usual you’ll be able to hear clearly who he has plagiarised this time around.

[quote] Charlotte has inherited Diana's legs, that could be seen in the Mother's Day photos. She's going to be stunning.

Prince Andrew is excited.

Ariana Grande declined an invitation to perform.

Great picture.

r107’s post shows just how homely Dockyard Doris is. Such poor genes.

So many have declined to perform at this wildly exciting cornoration....

I think maybe they should just go with some recorded music at this point

That photo of Edward at r107!

It is extraordinary he used to look handsome (see below). I can't think of anyone who aged more terribly he did without having undergone some horrible disease or physical ailment.

Now, let's all be careful of those using walkers, oxygen tanks, and catheters...on the dance floor

What difference does it all make; Camilla will be drunk anyway

The Brits do can an extra bank holiday out of it so there is a tangible get for even the anti-monarchists.

Are bank holidays paid? I imagine some employers aren't thrilled about it.

Interestingly, today several of the broadsheets had articles up stating that Harry's book had tainted the family and that the monarchy was at its lowest level in 12 months.

But when you read the article, they refer to an IPSOS poll of 19 January.

Yesterday, YouGov published its first quarterly poll on the monarchy, which showed a rebound for the monarchy at 58%, approval for Charles above 60%, and William and Kate well at the top with 72% and 70% approval ratings from the public, respectively (link below).

I wonder why, with YouGov as the go-to standard, the TIMES and the TELEGRAPH are reporting on the older poll, but ignoring the latest poll from YouGov, which shows, especially, the Waleses, especially, and the King, in quite good position - with Meghan and Harry still loathed by the public. William and Kate are still more popular than the Sussexes even in America, according to Newsweek.

Even NEWSWEEK is carrying the article on the royal "bounce back", whilst for some occult reason, two major broadsheets are referring back to an older poll by IPSOS.

Thx, R117. Odd choice by the papers.

"Are bank holidays paid? I imagine some employers aren't thrilled about it."

UK "bank holidays" are equivalent to American federal holidays things shut down by law on that level. You also have national and public holidays as well.

In both instances neither government of USA nor UK have right to tell private employers they must close on bank/federal holidays. How employees are compensated for those days off largely is up to employers, unions or other arrangements.

In decades past nearly everything was shut on a bank/federal holiday especially the big ones such as Christmas. In past few decades you've seen increasingly many places are open for business including retail and services.

Bank holidays...

[QUOTE]You also have national and public holidays as well.

In my nearly 59 years as U.S. born citizen, I had no idea. The things that DL teaches me!

[quote] I can't think of anyone who aged more terribly he did without having undergone some horrible disease or physical ailment.

There has to be something wrong with his health, because there is no way that he could have aged that badly without some illness. The difference in appearance between R107 an R112 is far too significant to chalk up to normal aging.

I do give Prince Edward credit for staying out of trouble, unlike his nasty brothers.

It has been announced by the Palace that should His Majesty Charles III pre decease The Queen. Camila will be known as Mother of the Nation.

^ Guess again.

If Charles goes first Camilla will disappear from public life almost entirely. I think she accepts her lot in life, but would prefer a quieter, more normal life. Just my guess based on the fact she retained her own home and goes there still to be with her own grandchildren. Could be wrong.

R124 One would have thought : Side Piece Of The Nation

Attention you UK bitches, I want one of these limited edition Marks and Spencer coronation biscuit tins!

R124 Bitch stole my act.

Wow, they really couldn’t land any major act.

We wanted to sell photos of Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet at the door of Westminster Abbey on the day of the Coronation, but my father-in-law has refused to allow it. Harry and I know the King's refusal is racially motivated.

Balmoral Castle and its estate, or at least part of the estate, is being given to the nation. It's an open secret that's been known for years. It's likely to be announced during coronation week, possibly on the eve. Chuckles and Camilla will retain Birkhall. The same may apply to the equally unused Sandringham. However, if that's the case, it's likely they'd retain the agricultural land.

There's several big houses on both estates besides the principal houses, so they could also retain those e.g. Wood Farm at Sandringham, and Craigowan Lodge at Balmoral. And that's not half of it. The Sandringham estate has 27 properties! It makes sense to turn over both the big houses as they cost an absolute fortune in maintenance.

[quote] Balmoral Castle and its estate, or at least part of the estate, is being given to the nation. It's an open secret that's been known for years

The Balmoral estate is huge, close to 50,000 acres and the Scottish government has been wanting to break up the large estates. If this were ever passed, the BRF would be required to give up over 45,000 acres. They know what's coming, so that's why they agreed several years to "generously" turn the bulk of it over to the nation. England has no such plans to reduce individual or corporate landholdings, so the royals will hold on to Sandringham.

[quote]and the Scottish government has been wanting to break up the large estates.

That's never ever going to happen. It's not being done because of any such left wing SNP fantasy. It's being done because Charles has no intention of using the castle, prefers the cosier Birkhall, and the castle costs upwards of a million smackers a year to maintain.

Oh just clear out why don't ya

Fuck Charles and Camilla. May his reign be extra short.

I love Camilla. And wishing death on someone who has done you no intentional harm will only boomerang terrible luck back on you, r137.

Oops! No edit button for you! You're stuck with it.

It’s always entertaining to hear Americans banging on about something about which they know so little. But about which they assume to know so much. Always. Always. Always.

You people are so stupid, which is why we laugh at you.

Always.

And we laugh at your ridiculous teeth.

Always.

No ‘caption this’ requirement for the pic at OP?

R138 Welcome to DL Your Majesty.

R139, you’re funny. Telling people not to have an opinion on a message board because they aren’t “qualified.” And believe me, we are laughing more at you for this ridiculous idea than you’re laughing at us. I mean, that’s hysterical. It’s like you never entered the internet before.

R131 Not at all. It would cut into our profit.

Daily Deranger Thread Fumigant. This one's a tent.

R145 Well they are still popular among the convicts.

^ Like attracts like dear

R145 THE TIMES! Only stupid Americans would believe that communist rag

So, palace intrigue these days isn’t cloak and dagger, poisonings or kidnappings, it’s death by social media and tell-alls?

^ When you're a powerless archaic circus that's all ya got.

[quote] If Charles goes first Camilla will disappear from public life almost entirely. I think she accepts her lot in life, but would prefer a quieter, more normal life. Just my guess based on the fact she retained her own home and goes there still to be with her own grandchildren. Could be wrong.

Agreed! The key to Camilla and Charles happy longevity is that they don't spend a lot of their time together, which was an issue Diana had with Charles in the early days. Apparently Camilla is a slob who loves to hang out in her bathrobe at her private residence and hates being followed around by servants. She's he happiest with he books, horses, and grandchildren at her estate. Charles is his happiest on his own at Highgrove in his gardens. I don't think Camilla was ever desperate to be Queen, but after many years of hatred by press and public (deserved and undeserved over time), I'm sure it's a nice fuck you, but I think it's about it. Camilla is not into jewels and couture. She's into tweed, wellies and old Barbar jackets.

Tina Brown opines that the Sussexes have won PR war. Harry and Meghan are global super stars. . The Windsors are now badly damaged provincial brand confined to the little island of England.

^ Willy can always get a gig with Peggy in a Polish gay bar.

Oh R153 you’re quoting from “Celebitchy”? I’m almost embarrassed for you.

R153 England is an island? I never knew.

Amazing how the CB and LSA trolls found their way back here, innit?

It's too bad R152 didn't see YouGov's poll of less than a week ago that discovered that the senior royals and the monarchy had "bounced back" after Harry's little hatchet job, whilse, interestingly, the Sussexes star continued to fall.

Charles hasn't had ratings of over 60% in YouGov's polls in decades. Kate and William are at 70% and 72%, respectively, the two most popular royals in the country - in fact, in America, too.

The monarchy itself is back up to 58% approval ratings.

As for a provincial royal whatever- check out Denmark, dear R152. The oldest monarchy in Europe, a tiny little provincial backwater, and its monarchy is going strong.

Then there's Spain, where the monarchy is considerably less popular than it is in Britain, and quite a few rumblings from Spain's increasingly republican population - the Spanish monarchy survived a corrupt King who had to abdicate and flee the country to keep from being prosecuted and imprisoned for his financial crimes . . . oh, and his son-in-law is also serving prison time for financial crimes . . . .

And, yet . . . there are Felipe and Letizia . . .

And there are Charles and Camilla on their way to the Abbey, with the hugely popular Waleses right behind them . . .

Be off, R152, before someone drops a house on you.

R157, LSA/Celebitchy trolls aren’t here. Much as I love DL, it doesn’t compare to the forums on both those sites, especially LSA. I know you want to think that there are invaders on DL, but no, it’s just the garden variety BRF haters and lovers. And most of both sides weren’t here before, and they aren’t gay.

R157/R158

[quote] Camilla is not into jewels and couture.

You're flat-out wrong. Camilla loves jewelry--she is a big collector of pieces from Van Cleef and Arpels.

The Palace announced today that Camilla The Queen Consort Mother to the Nation has been granted the additional title of:

Fabulous Chic Couture Goddess Of Great Britain,Ireland ,Scotland,Wales and All Dominions beyond the Seas and the Third Rock From The Sun

I can't imagine a lot of people interested in this.

R162 The number of threads just on DL, the thousands of comments under articles about the BRF from the broadsheets to the tabloids, suggest otherwise.

It's the greatest gossip show on earth; if you could resurrect the Liz/Dick/Debbie/Eddie fiasco during the filming of "Cleopatra" it might have some competition (I was there for that, so I speak with assurance), but little else. What do you think all those courtiers, pages, ladies and gents in waiting, clerics, cooks, chambermaids, et al., talked about?

What do you think the corridors and anterooms of all those palaces were filled with all these centuries? Gregorian chants?

And, after all . . . you're here, aren't you?

R140 is living in the 1940s. Someone point her to the teeth of Queen Margrethe of Denmark, and her sister's, as well.

Meanwhile, both Diana and Kate had perfectly nice teeth and smiles. The Queen's smile was described as "mega-watt" by everyone who saw her in person.

The Britain that everyone keeps mocking is actually either dead or on its last legs.

It's like the old "cutting ribbons" mantra, that conveniently leaves out Charles' landmark youth help organisation, the work he did in conservation before it became fashionable, Diana's patronages, Kate's focus on early childhood development, and Camilla's focus on domestic violence - the latter generated by someone close to her who was a victim of it (no, not Harry).

Then there's the "the richest family in the world" mantra, which is a joke, as the BRF isn't even the richest family in England. The current PM's wife's father, the Duke of Westminster, and JK Rowling, just for starters, could buy and sell the King 20 times over. He's a pauper by the standards of the really rich.

The BRF wear jewels that for the most part were colleted decades, if not centuries ago, by long-dead ancestors. The Greville Bequest to the Queen Mother in the 1930s now forms a great deal of the personal collection. The castles were purchased and built years ago, all the descendants have done is renovate every 20 years. The art collection was build on the foundation of stuff collected beginning in the 1920s.

The Duchy of Cornwall acquired Highgrove; it's owned by a Trust now. It gets visitors every year, after Charles' team did a fantastic job of turning it into a jewel of a house; Charles' work there brought back species of flora and fauna that development and climate change had chased out.

Except for the horses, cars, and continued expansion of the art collection, the current BRF is really living off stuff acquired way earlier, that they didn't have to buy: only maintain and renovate.

They live richer than they are. They're hardly poor, but compared to the corporate CEOs, people like Musk and Zuckerberg, the Duke of Westminster, the faceless industrialists . . . the BRF are merely well off.

And I'd like a recent photo of Camilla, Charles, William, or Kate cutting a ribbon at a new Tesco.

Thank you for your patience, R164. Excellent points, all true, argued with maturity. I could have managed the content but not the fortitude.

One or two comments does not equal being interested and gossip rags make up shit to sell to gullible suckers and the "comments" are old hags who live vicariously through others like you Klan Grannies. In short, you are overestimate interest in this.

Bye now, Granny.

R157, I think you mean R153. I would never espouse LSA, Celebitchy or LSA ideology. Just wanted to clarify that as to never be aligned with the aforementioned.. My post was about Camilla being a slob who probably would rather not be Queen and enjoys her own place.

R164

The Royal Reporter Jobson was on a breakfast show cackling that Charles should dangle his grandson Archie over the balcony. It's had a huge backlash both online and behind the scenes.. Jobson has disappeared from sight. Jobson is Charles and Camillas go to Reporter. Today allegedly the uk tabloids were told to drop as many anti Sussex articles and Andrew articles as possible. If you go to the UK tabloids online take a look. They are going to specifically target Meghan and any of her friends. My source is impeccable.

R168

R169 Jobson a ROTA sycophant wrote the authorized biography of his mate Charlie. Here is this fat pig socializing with the man whose infant grandson he wants to assault. And Grandpa says not a word. How can anyone with any morality bow down to this filth?. You are who you grovel to. Royalists are servile arse kissing scum.

Just keeps getting better and better for "our betters" hey Hyacinth?

^Mountbatten was a know pedo. Charles called him "my precious mentor and inspiration"

Harry and Meghan should not let these freaky pedos any where near their children. Stay home where it's safe.

Foreplay in the British Royal Family

King Pedo and another one of his "mentors"

Sir James Wilson Vincent Savile OBE KCSG (Order of the British Empire) Knight Commander of St. George. Guess Sir Jimmy got those illustrious titles from Her Majesty for what? OBE was for raping hundreds of children? but the KCSG was for the necrophillia? Royal grannies please clarify. Thanks ever so.

Now I ask you Hyacinth ,does this look like the face of a depraved pedophile?

Take your time dear.

“Hyacinth” and “deranger” aren’t really taking off for you, are they, R178?

Tina Brown is right and wrong. I don’t think Meghan and Harry are popular in the US, more infamous. BRF has been boring for years that is why they have fallen in global popularity. H&M shook some things up, the haters write more about them than anything else. So them going would be interesting to those following the saga because nothing else will be, but overall, people not caring has nothing to do with M&H. Americans by in large have never really cared. The Royals want global status. The royalist posters here are delusional with the bullshit that they are heads of state and not meant to be popular. Of course they need and want to be popular because controlling all the assets/money is dependent on the British people keeping them in their roles and who doesn’t want worldwide reverence? Why did Charles resent Diana? She eclipsed his popularity.

[quote] The Royals want global status.

That just ridiculous. Their role is to serve the nation. They are wealthy either way. This is not celebrity.

Not that it will ever happen, but R180 would do well to pick up a history book.

Well, r181… that’s what they tell you. The minute people don’t buy it, they’re done.

Yes, they had those ridiculous EarthShot awards ceremony in the US with celebrity performances and guests, but not the actual recipients present, because they don’t want want global recognition. These posters don’t help their cause with the stupidity they spew. Make it make sense at least.

What does that mean, R183? If people are telling you things, get to emerg.

The Earth Shot winners were announced in real time. Bringing them all over would have been very costly. Bringing the winner over would have been kind of a giveaway.

They want recognition for the Prize, R184, not themselves. Recognition of themselves is table stakes. They are leveraging the fame you've decided they achieve for themselves to put the focus on solutions that will repair the planet. They're not Meghan Markle.

R185…ummm… that’s what they tell you. No one is telling me anything.

Oh, OK, R188. Definitely. 100%.

Queen Mum said the BRF had to remain a "mystery". That was what the "magic of royalty" was all about. When Phillip did the ill received documentary in 60's showing the family at BBQ's and making vapid conversation over curry the old gal was appalled. Never let "them " behind the curtain. Well Diana yanked back the curtain and now Harry has ripped it off the hangings and thrown it in the rubbish. Revealing there is no "royal mystique" just a rich vile family of very unattractive people. But you lickspittles continue to pay no attention to the man behind that shredded curtain.

Will the South Parkles be contributing to the entertainment? Perhaps Harold could do his juggling act and his harridan can do mocking and exaggerated curtsies for the crowd?

[quote] Sir James Wilson Vincent Savile OBE KCSG (Order of the British Empire) Knight Commander of St. George. Guess Sir Jimmy got those illustrious titles from Her Majesty for what? OBE was for raping hundreds of children? but the KCSG was for the necrophillia? Royal grannies please clarify. Thanks ever so.

The Order of the British Empire is given on the orders of the Government. The monarch (or representative) may present it to the recipient, but they have no say in who receives it. Only certain honours and orders are awarded solely at the monarch's discretion.

The Knight Commander of St. George is not a British Order, but a Papal one. You'll have to take that up with the Vatican.

It is interesting how few people are aware of how much of a role the government actually, if quietly, plays in what the Palace can and cannot do. The fact is, whether the Head of State is an elected or hereditary position, it is Parliament and Downing Street that call the shots.

From foreign tours, to public statements, to honours, to state banquets and invitations to foreign Heads of State, the Palace does the will of the government.

Which is why, ironically, the monarchy is still so useful to the government, which can hide behind the monarchy's glossy surface.

An elected Head of State would provide absolutely none of the cachet that the monarchy does, and this is true in places like, say, Denmark, where state banquets and the royals dripping jewels (you should see Queen Margrethe's emerald suite if you think QEII's was something to gape at), a carriage ride from the station to Amalienborg Palace . . . the photo ops, the trumpeters, it's all the same deal.

The visitors love it, expect it, and want it. The monarchy nowhere gives more value for money than smoothing relationships with foreign nations. The Cambridges' visit to Pakistan two years ago ravelled up some hurt feelings after the last royal visit there twelve years earlier. The Cambridges behaved impeccably and everyone was happy.

No one wanted to see photos of a boring elected politician in a suit shaking hands with local governors and PMs.

The government is happy to let the Palace to take the fall by not bothering to correct the impression that sometimes emerges of the Palace cocking things up with the honours system. It is also happy to tell the Palace to get on its bike, you're going to Pakistan for a week - tell Kate to get her headscarves laundered.

For the government, the monarchy is a godsend. They're in no hurry to get rid of it, and any referendum would require the certainty of an 80% result. Right now, approvals for the monarchy are close to 60%. Charles has the best favourability ratings he's had since 1997.

People really need to read beyond the tabloid headlines. The tabloids tell the story most likely to generate visceral responses and clicks, not ones likely to show that this is a slightly more nuanced landscape than imagined.

The monarchy lives in a strange limbo between the fantasy world the tabloids present, and its constrained reality. It's an unenviable position, and one that William and Kate, particularly, are managing to navigate very gracefully.

And that's the trick, and the one Harry and Meghan were incapable of mastering.

Harry should attend the coronation, that useless little attention whore Louis needs to get a glimpse of Christmas future if he doesn't mend his ways.

Wills, Charles, and Harry all have cut cocks. Having a cut cock is a more godly, clean, and royal penis.

If this is the best Camilla can do I call it pretty feeble.

Even Queen Mary had more style and put herself together better.

Since Queen Camilla has dispensed with ladies in attendance and dressers we can assume more of same in future. Looks as if Camilla rolled out of bed, threw on a bit of slap and grabbed something hanging in wardrobe.

^^Vehemently disagree!!

Well, the Germans have lederhosen, she had that.

^ Bitch stole my act.

I like Camilla's German gala dress. It actually reminds me of Methane's stupid expensive Ralph & Russo engagement pic dress. But probably more reasonably priced. I would post a photo but don't want to stink up the thread with stupid goblin Methane.

LOL @ Methane. Very apt.

R223 Can you translate to the Queen's English as we don't speak Deranger.

I kind of like Camilla. I gather she's a pretty good egg and she's a good influence on himself. But sometimes I see her in photos on the job and have brief, reflexive grrrrrrr.... reaction to her. All those years of team Diana, before we understood how much blame there was to go around. Anybody else still have to remind themselves she's not so bad?

Actually, R223, it’s now “the King’s English”, as you’re asking a question your sentence should end with a question mark and you really need to stop trying to make “Deranger” happen. It, along with “Hyacinth” and “Klan Granny” is not going to happen.

You Megstans are, as always, stupid.

I'm not sure they're stupid. Probably weren't in school long enough to have assessed. And the diabetes can affect alot of things.

Camilla's black and silver ballgown is too heavy, too embroidered, too shapeless to be a knock out design. The tiara is competition with all the silver embroidery. The lady in purple silk or whatever looks stunning. Simple, elegant. Camilla is carrying a lot of weight so designers are pretty limited. But that comforted heavy like drapery fabric is just not chic. I suspect it is also very uncomfortable to wear.

Comforted heavy like drapery fabric? I don'f think so. It had body, but was not heavy. She has been ill and likely taken various meds, so I'm happy to see her on KC3 first state trip. And no, I never stanned St. Di, so no controversy for me.

Her Majesty doesn't need expensive gowns she can a feed bag look good and often does.

Camilla's clothes are unremarkable and that's the way Charles likes her to be. He had enough of "Look at me. Look at me." from Diana. He's never liked attention being drawn away from him.

Camilla looks a lot better since she got glammed up for the Consort role than she never did in her life. She was always quite dowdy but apparently aces in the sack.

Tina Brown is an out of touch moron r153 those two are global laughingstocks.

Has no one told Camilla about foundation garments? Those tits will be down to her knees soon enough if she's not careful.

It's incomprehensible to me how so many of the British, including the wealthy royals and aristocrats, view their refusal to avail themselves of modern beautifying techniques, eg teeth whitening, hair colouring, laser resurfacing, as some kind of virtue. And in Camilla and the late queen's case, adequate foundation undergarments.

It’s incomprehensible to you because you have no idea of how the British upper classes operate, and why should you? You’re a shallow parochial vacuous American. Your opinion doesn’t matter to anybody but yourself.

Yes, bedeck yourself with priceless jewels and ultra-expensive clothes, and have teeth that look like broken rocks and tits hanging down to your knees....that makes total sense.

I noticed Queen Camilla had 'words' with President Steinmeier's wife Elke Büdenbender on the steps of entrance to their gala dinner. As the President's wife motioned with her arm around the Queen to turn to go up the steps, Camilla stayed put. I thought it was strange. If you look at video again, Camilla is telling the President's wife "You're not supposed to touch me." Anyone else notice this?

R223 - I really like the expensive Ralph & Russo engagement picture dress. There is NOTHING wrong with that dress.

What did that dress ever do to you??? What with the hard blow or are you just a blowhard?

R238 - Please supply a complete dissertation on how the British upper classes operate as I would love to read it.

HM KC3, HM Queen Camilla, German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier and Elke Buedenbender receiving guests at state dinner.

Most ladies craned their necks but did not curtsey. Few ladies did both and also kissed HM on both her cheeks as well. Thus am going to assume the ladies in question were on more of an intimate basis with Queen Camilla or otherwise had some rank that permitted them to do so.

Many of the German men are so tall!

R240

Queen Camilla did indeed exchange conversation on steps with Elke Buedenbender; but do not believe HM uttered any such thing ("you're not supposed to touch me").

First of all that would be incredibly rude to insult wife of a democratic head of state. Within her husband's realms Queen Camilla or another royal might get away with such a thing (though again highly doubtful it would be uttered), but elsewhere would be another matter.

For decades now British royalty including monarch have loosened things up in terms of protocol and ritual, especially when traveling abroad to other countries.

Yes, in theory one is not supposed to touch the monarch, walk several paces behind, not look at directly, bow/curtsey, etc... But this isn't the Victorian nor Edwardian period any longer.

Besides Elke Buedenbender barely touched Queen Camilla's shoulder. In fact looking at 17:26 she didn't at all. Indeed both at bottom of stairs and again at second photo op at top Elke Buedenbender seems to be taking great pains not to touch Queen Camilla.

Notice the form; Queen Camilla has fallen into line. Just as Prince Phillip had to do HM walks several paces behind her spouse the monarch.

R241 The dress itself was lovely. What was wrong with it, was that it screamed I'M GOING TO WEAR THE EXPENSIVE SHIT NOW SO FUCK YOU, PLEBS!

It was totally inappropriate to the occasion, and not the first such toward which Meghan would evidence obliviousness.

You can scroll through the formal engagement photos of Mary and Frederik, Haakon and Mette-Marit, Kate and William, Diana and Charles, Felipe and Letizia, Williem and Maxima, Victoria and Daniel . . . none of those women are wearing $75,000 gowns, next to a fiance in a blue suit.

It was so In Your Face, right from the outset, that you could see it from Pluto.

The photos themselves looked like perfume ads in Town & Country.

As I said, the gown itself was lovely - but it screeched Meghan's love of luxury and status, and habit of not reading the room correctly.

It looked silly next to Harry's blue suit.

And that's what was wrong with that dress.

The £58,000 engagement photo dress was the first definite red flag for me.

Oh sure, a sheer embrpidered cocktail gown and matching shiny veneers are just perfect for a sunny afternoon pic in the backyard.

This didn't happen yet? Are they waiting for him to die or something?

Camilla actually looks exactly like a grounded aristocratic wife. The hair is obviously coloured and her teeth were fixed - so far as they could be. The British aristocrats are typically very understated in their fashion and generally happier in clothes you can get muddy in. Downton is over. Look at Sarah Chatto or the Duchess of Devonshire. I won't argue Camilla could benefit from a much better bra. Those big tits are returning to earth.

R233 Still failing to turn a sow's ear into a silk pint.

Hey Your Majesty, your darling wife is shore ugly!!

f you want to be happy for the rest of your life

Never make a pretty woman your wife

So for my personal point of view

Get an ugly girl to marry you

A pretty woman makes her husband look small

And very often causes his downfall

As soon as he married her and then she starts

To do the things that will break his heart

But if you make an ugly woman your wife

Ah you'll be happy for the rest of your life

Don't let your friends say you have no taste

Go ahead and marry anyway

Though her face is ugly, her eyes don't match

Take it from me, she's a better catch

^ Camilla and Charles have the faces they've earned.

R252 Bond Villain.

What does Methane do with that $75000 dress now? Does she dress up to terrorize her staff and children, and then take a soothing bong hit?

Well, first of all, she's NOT supposed to touch her now that Camilla is HM Queen Camilla.

But like the other poster above, I doubt Camilla would ever have said that to her. The Queen let people touch her (which only happened on exceptionally rare occasions), and she never chastised them. The Queen Mother clucked quite a lot about when Jimmy Carter kissed her unbidden, but Elizabeth II was more polite and accepting, and Camilla will have followed her example.

"I really like the expensive Ralph & Russo engagement picture dress. There is NOTHING wrong with that dress."

It was an EVENING gown worn during the DAY! I can't say I liked the dress on its own merits - I've never been a fan of sheers, or top and bottom halves that don't match, but if she'd saved it for her first formal event with Harry it'd have been a hit. So she should have chiseled an extremely expensive day dress out of Charles, for the photo shoot.

As for Camilla, she does the best she can with what she's got. She's a 75 year old woman who's got a figure that's... above average for 75. Her fashion sense is as good as it needs to be.

R265 For the Connected to Planet Earth post.

Re the dress Markle chose for the engagement photo, I'll bet I was not alone in seeing this as another sign that M was not interested in "being part of the team".

The slightest bit of google search for past engagement photos of members of the RF would have clued in the actress as to what to wear.

It was obvious that Markle didn't care to join and fit in.

Some of us saw the true you then and recognized you.

Queen Elizabeth II was gracious and her goal was always to put people at ease in her presence. Whether she like being hugged or not, she always handled the situation was grace. It wasn't necessarily disrespectful for Michelle to hug QEII considering they had a bond, but if she had really respected her, she would have followed the proper protocol. It's like Meghan who went in to hug Kate when they first met. It's not something you do and if you are an innocent "hugger", it's more polite to be aware that not everyone is and to err on the side of caution.

BREAKING! ROYALS RECONCILE!

R272

R271, hugging in-laws or other extended family on first meeting is extremely common in the U.S. In fact you would consider it dutiful behavior towards new in-laws upon first introduction.

If Harry didn’t prepare her, and it sounds like he never did anything to prepare her, she may have thought the custom of not touching was for in public, or among strangers. Not necessarily among family members.

Rather than Kate, who was not born into nobility, taking extreme offense, as if she was born into the royal family and has never known any other way, she could have accepted that it was an honest mistake and then made sure someone (else) coached her how to behave in the future. Someone must have had to coach Kate herself at one time.

Kate tends to put on airs as if she personally came out of the Queen’s vagina. Kate modeled lingerie at some charity on a runway before she got married. She’s not Queen Victoria like she pretends she is. She gets more pretentious by the minute.

The Queen herself did her best to appear gracious and unruffled when well-meaning but ignorant people hugged her. If she can bear it, maybe Kate can stop doing the “I am too holy for the hem of my garment to be touched by peasants” act. Her mother was a stewardess.

This photo is captioned, “Kate Middleton took part in the St Andrews University Charity Fashion Show in 2002.”

Gasp! A student fashion show exhibiting a BATHING SUIT. I am outraged.

Kate acts like she thinks she was born in a designer dress, pumps and hat. So far above the common folk she is above reproach, and should look down her nose at the disgusting peasants at every opportunity.

But there was a time when she was an ordinary commoner and dressed like this. The idea she is so offended because some other person had to learn is laughable. I’m sure someone told her to stop dressing like this at some point.

R275, she was called “Waity Katie” for a reason. She was a thirsty social climber and would have walked the streets naked to get William’s attention if that’s what it took. Fine, but have some humility. Remember where you came from.

The only people who put on airs like that aren’t actual royalty, they’re ambitious social climbers grasping for position. I’d like to see you find a picture of Princess Anne dressed like that. People who are secure don’t need to be dressed like that. It makes you wonder how she was raised.

Meghan with the hugs and borrowing lipgloss was weird and out of line even by American standards. That said, Kate is really pretentious as hell. No way would she ever allow her kids marry anything less than an aristocrat or billionaire. She hardly speaks because she has zero personality or a common touch. I saw a clip of her with this little girl at one of her recent visits. The little girl wouldn’t let her move on. Granted the kid was annoying, Kate was smiling, but she was unnatural with the kid, which was odd to me considering she has 3 of her own. She just had that plastered smile and wanted to get the hell away ASAP. It’s a shame William didn’t marry someone with the IT factor, but he seems like an attention seeking asshole himself.

^Thank you Megbot. Stay jelly.

Guess my RSVP got lost in the mail mate.

[quote]Kate tends to put on airs as if she personally came out of the Queen’s vagina.

You forgot the IMHO. Or, if we're being honest, IMBO or IMIO.

[quote] The Queen let people touch her (which only happened on exceptionally rare occasions), and she never chastised them. The Queen Mother clucked quite a lot about when Jimmy Carter kissed her unbidden, but Elizabeth II was more polite and accepting, and Camilla will have followed her example.

Although it is against protocol to touch the monarch, the late Queen wasn't bothered by people touching her, but such familiarity freaked out the courtiers and of course, the royal bodyguards. Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother would have been fine with Jimmy Carter giving her a gallant kiss on the hand or even a side kiss on the cheek. But, he kissed her on the lips which offended her personally and her sense of majesty. "The last person to kiss me on the lips was my husband, the King and it should have remained as so.", she was heard to complain to anyone who would listen.

As a number of her friends have said, Camilla also doesn't mind if someone she meets breaks protocol and initiates physical contact. And like Diana, she actually enjoys when children hug her.

Former president Jimmy Carter swears to this day he did *NOT* kiss HM Elizabeth, The Queen Mother on the lips. Rather it was a light peck on the cheek, and that's all.

He frenched the old drunk and she loved it.

Prince Phillip still looking rather handsome in that photo. Can see why HM would have some trouble with him.

Meghan should have bothered to learn the culture and Michelle O should have just known better. Both are not stupid women.

You Yanks think more of the royals than we do because you don't to pay for them.

R267 Yes, for quite a few people, loud bells were set off by the extravagance of the dress and its stunning inappropriateness for the setting, the time of day, and her intended's attire, let alone the modest if hardly cheap day suits worn by other royal fiancees.

Diana, marrying a future King, for the photocall, wore a blue Cojana suit off the rack from Harrod's. Later, one formal photos was taken by Earl Snowdon, Charles' uncle, that showed her seated in an emerald green gown and jewels indoors. Kate, also marrying a future King, wore a blue Elie Saab dress for the official indoor photocall, and a very classy cream-coloured wool day suit (ran about 800 quid, I think) for the formal indoor photos.

Mary of Denmark, marrying a Crown prince, wore a beautiful silk day-dress for a formal photocall and interview in a room packed with reporters, and that included a balcony appearance to cheering crowds at Amalienborg Palace. Crown Princess Victoria of Sweden, future Queen: official photos in a pretty day dress. Sarah Ferugson: winter coat over a day dress in back of Buck House, and, later formal photos also in day dress.

The only other gowned engagement photos I can recall are Snowdon's of Princess Anne to Captain Mark Phillips. And she was the Queen's only daughter, the Princess Royal and wearing a tiara, and Phillips was in full uniform, and the photo was taken in the grandeur of either Windsor or Buckingham Palace. This photo, by the way, is often referred to as the most beautiful Anne ever looked.

Only Meghan Markle, former Suitcase Girl on Deal or No Deal, marrying the soon to be sixth in line and doomed to become the future irrelevant Prince Andrew, shows up in a $75.000 evening gown in the middle of the day with a husband in a nondescript blue suit.

Here's Charles and Diana's wedding photo. Suit appropriate for the outdoor day setting.

And Charles is keeping a distance between them, and Diana doesn't want him touching her. Who among our eldergays remembers alarms going off when they saw this one?

Jill Biden will be attending the Coronation.

Latest bit of cheapening; peers have been told to "dress down".

"Members of the House of Lords traditionally wear a special coronation robe for the occasion made of scarlet velvet with a collar of white fur, and a coronet that determines their rank in the British peerage.

But those invited to the Coronation on May 6 have been told they may only wear their usual parliamentary ermine, used at the state opening of Parliament each year, or standard business dress."

Yes, Mrs. Biden will be leading American delegation to coronation of KC3. Some in Britain are pretty cheesed off, more so since Biden will be going to Northern Ireland in about a week but there are no plans for president and monarch to meet.

One wonders how many of hereditary peers (and their wives) if invited will bother attending this stripped down coronation.

On the one hand it certainly won't be the dazzling affair of old, but snubbing one's monarch may not be forgotten.

Besides since Prince of Wales in largely putting this show together it gives a hint as to what his own coronation may be like in future. Thus those hoping for a return by then of a more traditional glam and glitz coronation may be sorely disappointed.

That's not correct r270. It was dismissed over points about that book Scoble wrote and Sam is re-filing. Try again dear.

Wait until the coronation pomp and ceremony. Nobody does pageantry like the Brits, with the gold carriage, the black horses with riders in red and silver, the flags, the music, the red brick royal road, the historic balcony of Buckingham Palace, the stunning architecture of Westminster Abbey, the purple velvet and ermine robe, the Crown Jewels, the gold orb and scepter, the throne of Edward I, the surrounding tombs of Elizabeth I and Mary I and of Chaucer and Dickens, the cheering crowds lining the entire route---No, once reminded again of their link to an ancient history as shown in today's technicolor, the British will feel that the death of E II was hers alone and not the monarchy's.

[quote]One wonders how many of hereditary peers (and their wives) if invited will bother attending this stripped down coronation.

All of them. 8,000 people were invited to the last one. 2,000 people are invited to this one.

I hope R310 is right. I would call myself a monarchist, not out of sentiment but out of tradition. Increasingly I look at what William and Charles are doing and I'm wondering if it's all too much change, too much slimming. We'll see. It's all going very low key. Maybe that's the way. Here's how the Dutch do it... sworn in, not crowned. Charles and Camilla were there.

R310 LOL and it doesn't cost 100 Million GBP

Noone, in Britain or anywhere else, is "cheesed" that Biden is not attending the coronation, or believes that perpetual villain William is "largely putting this show together"....except for a few scraggly uninformed megbots who do nothing but complain.

I suggest that those who will be disappointed by the reduction of "glitz and glamor" of an event that last happened SEVENTY YEARS AGO maybe could re-watch QE2 ceremony and grouse about the good old days instead.

I agree the Biden story is a total media concoction. Eisenhower didn't come. It's not the norm. There's nothing to this. In fact, it's courteous. The presence of the US president is enormously complex and disruptive from a security perspective.

Alas, r314, Elizabeth's coronation was recorded in B&W.

^Thanks, I was wondering about that when I wrote it, and thought nah, surely the coverage was in color. Times have changed!

No American President has ever gone to a British coronation. Ever. Biden is following established protocol for the last 240 years.

British monarchs also do not go to American Presidential inaugurations. We fought a war over this, remember?

Every single thing that happens is not an opportunity to bash a Democratic President. Stop listening to the Trump/Fox/British tabloid version of reality and look it up.

About Biden being of Irish ancestry, that is extremely common with American politicians of his age and older. The Kennedys, Ronald Reagan, Tip O’Neill, the legendary Speaker of the House, and many others have been Irish American politicians. He is not avoiding the coronation because he is Irish.

Yes, yes, yes, R318 - you fought a war over this - how many times do you feel the need to remind us?

Here's the colour version of QE II's coronation.

Don't get those tiaras out of bank vaults just yet.

I swear this event gets more common and low key with each passing bit of news.

The funniest part of South Park episodes that feature the Royal family is the narrators/reporters of the events. Watching a little of R325 shows that they nailed that part.

I'm hoping for the Princess of Wales coronet. It will probably gave to be made especially for Kate.

R326 because something that has happened three times in 112 years is “often-staid”.

Sky News is right on it!

It’ll be like 6 hours of boredom with maybe 10 minutes of interesting. Even the Queen’s funeral was mostly boring except for a few parts. The only interesting Royal ceremonies are the weddings.

If Kate wears tiaras to state fingers, she's damn well going to wear one to the Coronation.

Girlfriend likes her jewels, and the Coronation is going to be the second-mosf formal event of her life!

State DINNERS!

OMFG what was the autocorrect thinking.

How exciting! I think Kate with have on the Lover’s Knot unless Charles lets her premiere the Girls. She’ll probably have a single train bearer. Especially since they’re ditching robes for peers, so she wouldn’t be in a Duchess’s robes + coronet.

Of course Camilla with have a slightly larger train, but will she be in the George IV diadem during the ride to the Abbey; that’s the question. For the last couple hundred years, only women have worn it, so it makes sense. But it’s still so heavily associated with QE2. But Mary and Alexandra had to get on with it; so Camilla can do the same.

Will will probably default back to his boring Air Force uni, but he would look lovely back in his royal colonel full dress scarlet tunic.

With the central religious aspect, it seems like kings have skipped uniforms, in favor of elaborate court dress or a morning suit, so I suppose we might see this from the king + the various robes worn for each stage. It’ll be weird to see the Imperial State Crown on a man again when he departs and returns to the palace.

"Girlfriend likes her jewels, and the Coronation is going to be the second-mosf formal event of her life!"

You don't have a clue do you?

The Princess of Wales, Kate, the Duchess of Cambridge is going have many, many *MANY* more formal tiara wearing occasions ahead.

There will be state dinners and other formal receptions both in UK and abroad. In fullness of time the Prince of Wales may open Parliament for KC3 with the Princess of Wales at his side.

In due time the Prince of Wales will inherit and then Kate Middleton cops the lot. As queen consort she will have again many more opportunities to wear tiaras and other jewels not only as while her husband lives, but as "queen mother" when her son inherits.

This of course largely depends upon what style the Princess of Wales wants to set now and in future. If HRH takes a page out of Camilla's book and in keeping with her FIL's and husband's wishes/intent to have a slimmed down more modern monarchy there might very well be less wearing of jewels.

It's pretty certain days of piling things on like Queen Mary, Queen Elizabeth, The Queen Mother and even Elizabeth II likely are fading if not gone.

There's footage and photos of QEII, the Queen Mother and Margaret wearing tiaras to movie premieres where they went down receiving line and met the films' stars. Can you imagine that happening now?

Seems to me there's a risk here... if they don't wear the jewels, what is point of having the jewels? And if the jewels are anachronistic, what is the point of Trooping the Colour? Or the Garter Ceremony? Or Windsor Castle? Or the monarchy? It could be a slippery slope, because the truth as as consistently well dressed people in every daywear, they actually aren't terribly interesting. There is a big of magic still necessary to keep the show on the road. Charles and Camilla... nice people... not really magical.

R334, the OP said the event would be the “second most formal” event not the only event. And that is true, the most formal being when William assumes the throne. It’s an awkward way of saying it, but the meaning is obvious. Before insulting them, make sure you read what they said.

R331 “girlfriend likes her jewels”? I don’t think so. She has repeatedly worn the Cambridge Lovers Knot tiara when she has had access to so many others. She wanted to wear flowers in her hair on her wedding day and when told that she had to wear a tiara she chose the smallest of the options that were presented to her.

Daily Deranger Fumigant

'Deranger' isn't taking off how you'd like, is it?

R341 Sadly like most vermin, they have become pesticide resistant.

R334 Wake us when you reach the 21st century grannie.

It's not even a good insult. At least Klan Granny had a little clever attached to it. What does Deranger even mean? It's not even a word. Poor Meagain, her stans are so shit.

Of course Camilla with have a slightly larger saddle, but will she be in the George IV diadem during the ride to the Abbey

Fixed for R333

R326 Looks like a prom queen snap. Waity Katie will always be the grocers daughter made good.

“Waity Katie” wasn’t even funny or clever when it was coined twenty years ago R347, and yet that’s the best insult that you can come up with.

Markle’s stans never fail to show their stupidity.

Kate's jewellery is actually quite modest unless she is glammed up for evening wear, or state events (like funerals). But in her normal daywear, she eschews chunky bracelets, often wears fun fashion earrings . . .

Because let's face it, with that engagement ring, simplicity is the way to go most of the time. Only at Ascot, state banquets, receptions for foreign dignitaries . . . she wears far less than she could.

If Meghan had gotten her hands on Big Blue, or Big Blue on her hands, she wouldn't have put that hand down once unless she was asleep.

And, of course, Catherine does not wear her engagement ring all the time.

In candid shots of her out grocery shopping, for example, she is not wearing the ring.

Catherine went to Marlborough ffs. She's in no way a "grocer's daughter".

[quote]If Meghan had gotten her hands on Big Blue, or Big Blue on her hands, she wouldn't have put that hand down once unless she was asleep.

All the better to cradle a bump with, my dear.

What's the difference between a tiara and a diadem? If anyone would know, you bitches would!

Please keep your responses to under 1000 words, thanks.

^LOL. I cannot tell you in less than 15,000.

A tiara is worn by a woman and is invariably ornamental only at the front. It is worn by royalty or the nobility or Miss your local contest goes here.

A diadem is worn by royalty, of either sex, and is typically circular and more resembles a crown.

I think as many of us as possible should go, and line the streets while wearing replicas of famous tiaras to show our appreciation of the jeweler's art, and historical expertise!

I'm wearing a replica of Eugenie's emerald Greville Tiara, $15.99 on ebay!

R355 I'm wearing a replica of Catherine Princess of Wales jewel encrusted ....

^Peg of my heart.

I'd like one with some rockin sapphires, please.

^a tiara, that is.

I'll be there with bells and and ankle monitor on.

I think the pegging rumor was inspired by that South Park episode about his wedding to Kate.

Most powerful uptight control freaks like Willy are subs in bed and like to bottom.

R353

For you!

It's official, invites are issued by "King Charles" and "Queen Camilla" (without consort).

What crust; she's no better than she should be, consort was too good for jumped up adulteress eh?

More:

Still no official word from the Ginger Whinger and his fancy woman. This despite the Palace seeming to bend over backwards to accommodate.

Contrary to wagging tongues for example Tedious and Tiresome won't be seating in nosebleed section, but will actually be assigned quite good seats.

If anyone wants to meet Meg and Harry, send them an invite fora "charity" event on Coronation Day! They might accept!

I'm quite sure they're scrambling for the best possible "previous engagement", and will accept any "charity" invite that will keep them off the British Isles on that day. And it's not like their social calendars are full.

Her late revered Majesty Queen Elizabeth made it crystal clear in( bloody writing yet) that she wanted Charlie's side piece title to be The Queen Consort. Looks like now that "beloved mummy" is six feet under he's made her title officially The Queen. What say you hooded hypocritical grannies ? Your hollowed tradition only applies to non -Caucasians? Your emperor has no clothes . My sides.

Silly American it is only because Her Grace The Scheming Drunken Old Ugly Harridan was too long to fit on the invites.

They love the attention of the guessing game. I can't guess what they'll do. They'll love the drama of announcing last minute they're not coming... our safety, our safety! But it's hard to imagine her not getting her picture taken.

R368 The BRF's traditions are indeed "hollowed". They are an empty hole filled with nothing.

Natural Nobility

^ Bitches stole my act.

When only 15% are enthusiastic about the coronation and - according to other polls - more than 30% want the monarchy abolished, it's hard to claim this is a national celebration. Or that we're a nation of royalists."

Every Queen is either a consort or a regnant. Calling her The Queen doesn't change anything.

Unclench your pearls.

So Rose Cholmondeley's son will be one of the King's pages of honour.

Does anyone really believe in good faith if William fucked that woman Charles would force Kate to watch that at the Coronation?

R376 obviously!

How old is the son, R376? Any chance he's... you know... Charles's biological grandson?

As to that rumor, I have no idea what the truth is. But the version of the rumor that I want to believe is that Meghan Markle made the whole affair story up, when Kate did something that annoyed her.

Let us call her what we really long to:

Her Majesty Camilla The White Queen

Yes, it's Markle fan fiction.

He's three years older than George. The affair lie was concocted after the birth of Louis.

If it was her, that's probably among the canon of things they can't forgive. She better find her OPEC or oligarch billionaire soon because there's no going. back when California becomes no man's land. But maybe she plans to move to Indiana and accept awards there full time.

I find the Coronation invite too busy. The design lends itself to cocktail napkins.

Neither of Catherine's parents were grocers. He was an airline pilot, she was an airline stewardess, and they founded an internet business that made them pots of money.

They were solid middle-class sorts who did well.

If anyone was a grocer's daughter, it was Sophie, daughter of a sausage factory owner.

Re the invitation: at first, I burst out laughing. But the more I looked at it, the more I warmed to it. I think it takes balls to put that Green Man at the bottom . . . Charles, fair play to him, was on the conservation wagon long before most everyone else.

Actually, I've never seen a cocktail napkin that was that engaging.

Since Tampon Charles Side Ho Mistress Camilla is now Queen, it makes sense as to why Rose Hanbury's son has a prominent role during the Coronation. Camilla & Charles have set a precedent for an adulteress mistress to be fully accepted into British royal family. Perhaps side piece Rosie will play the long game and wind up Queen too.

"Have set a precedent for adulteress ugly as bloody sin mistress to be fully accepted into British royal family. "

Fixed for R385

The entire Rose Hanbury story was cooked up by a couple of pro-Meghan pals, Nicole Swiftt and Giles Coren. The latter admitted being three sheets to the wind when he put it up and then hastily took it down.

Meghan was behind it, it was sheer spite.

How do I know this?

Because in his delusional book, Harry accused Charles and Camilla of putting it out there. Yes, we can just see the two by the fireside, chortling as they come up with a good way to smear the two people they need most onside.

You don't need any more proof than that statement by Harry to know it was Meghan.

Charles is the first king to have stepchildren in almost 600 years.

Rosie's nickname is Peggy

R388 forgot the evil stepmother.

Oh I love the Green Man! And Camilla's boar too. Lots of the individual elements of the invite are great. I think I am warming to it too now. It's unexpected, colourful and full of symobolism.

R385 can you post that again, but in English this time?

Coronation Invitation

I like how the heraldic lions have red nail polish.

Wrong r387. I had heard way back then that there was trouble with the Cambridges’ marriage . No details, only that they were having serious problems. I heard it from a friend who knew someone who knew someone. I took it with a grain of salt, of course, because everyone know some who knows someone, etc. I even posted it on one of the threads (geez has it been that long?) Not more than a month after I heard it, the story broke about the supposed affair.

R395 = REO Speedwagon

Wow. It must be true.

Wrong, R395 - Giles Coren himself admitted to making it up and posting it after a rather long lunch.

I love the Coronation invite design! Lovely and full of natural symbols, colorful and cheerful.

And yeah, I love the Green Man, why the hell shouldn't the King of a green and pleasant land use it.

I can't see the garbage posts, but sounds like the MegSniffers are really and truly MAD. Oh well, better luck next life y'all.

Well this is obviously a stupid American speaking or a Wog communist.

R383 It looks like an invite to Louis fifth birthday party.

Settle down Kate H&M are the least of your problems Your ex- friend and Willy's side -piece Rose Hanbury's son has been given a role in the coronation, they’re paving the way for your exit luv. Single dads get sympathy remember. Time to start checking your brakes Katie.

Katie is really one thick bitch.

So Rose Cholmondeley's son will be one of the King's pages of honour.

Does anyone really believe in good faith if William fucked that woman Charles would force Kate to watch that at the Coronation?

Charles fucked Camilla when Diana was in the next room. So yeah everyone believes it but thick Klan Grannies.

I don’t believe it, I think it was a rumor put out, no comment on who. However, I think he probably cheats. He and his wife have a weird vibe. More like a partnership/arrangement than a loving marriage. Plus, all these men cheat.

Windsors have proven time and time again that they are without any sense of morality. Elizabeth was the only one who kept her knickers on. The rest rut around like pigs at the trough.

Not so much that Charlie and Willy cheat ( the rotten apple doesn't fall far) it's that they cheat with absolute pigs. Stormy on her worst day looks a million times better then Rosie (4) and as for Camilla (-9) .

Meanwhile in Happily Ever After.

R408, have you seen the women in England, particularly in their circles? Even Diana wasn’t a raving beauty.

Honestly, I never heard the reason the Cambridges were having problems. Could have been the affair, could have been something else. But the timing was spot on, so something was going on.

At the christening of Louis, just after the story broke, every photo of Kate showed her gazing at the baby. Sure that’s natural but even when she was walking, she was looking at him. Having heard the affair rumor, it was very easy to “see” that she was giving William the cold shoulder. There’s only a short video of them walking into the church and she doesn’t make eye contact or acknowledge William at all. That’s what made me think there was some truth to it.

Giles Coren denying the story the next day when he sobered up can be explained that he was aghast that he put it out there, we all do stupid things when drunk and that was a big expose on a popular royal.

Since then, if the story is true, they appear to have mended their marriage. They seem to have an easy going relationship, lots of familiarity when they are together. Neither one is a good enough actor to fake affection every time they meet the public. Again, this is my perception/prejudice because I can’t look at Meghan without screaming fake. Her demeanor is so artificial.

If anyone was a grocer's daughter, it was Sophie, daughter of a sausage factory owner.

R384 - Sophie's father, Christopher Bournes Rhys-Jones (born 1931), is a retired executive sales director for an importer of industrial tires and rubber goods.

Margaret Thatcher's father was the grocer. Her father, Alfred Roberts (1892–1970), owned a tobacconist's and a grocery shop in Grantham Lincolnshire.

R395 - This is the umpteenth time you've put that same post up on varied royal threads. You might want to change up the verbiage, at least, so you can't be spotted for the troll you are.

Anyone who uses the phrase "I heard it from a friend" about the state of a marriage that is one of the most secluded on the planet, and which, comically, appears to be stronger than ever, you give the game away.

You haven't got a "friend" that close to the Cambridges (who, by the way, are now the Waleses, you might want to update that, too), you haven't heard anything, but you're clearly a William/Kate hater determined to push this.

We see you. Get lost.

R412 Jesus. The woman looking down adoringly at a baby who just happens, finally, out of the three to look like her and by all accounts was born cheeky, and is still nursing and flowing with hormones, doesn't look adoringly at her husband at the christening.

Ergo, they must be having troubles.

Her worst enemy wouldn't deny Kate is particularly into motherhood.

Fuck off, you moron.

And just FYI: the best marriages also function as a partnership team. In the game these two are in, it's necessary.

He could have had virtually anyone. They dated for eight years.

Passion recedes in all long partnerships, especially after women give birth and get, as nature directs they should, get absorbed in infants, because if they didn't, they'd give the little fuckers back.

Assuming TIP from that is beyond moronic. Try again.

Maybe Charles is trolling Kate by inviting Rose’s son. He’d have to be blind, deaf and dumb to have no idea of the rumors about the boy’s mother having an affair with William. Why do this to Kate? Whom does it serve? It’s not like there aren’t other children who could be pages.

My guess is he wants to acknowledge a bastard grandson. There are rumors Rose’s husband is gay. And there’s a long history of royal mistresses marrying some rando to be the official “father” of royal bastards. Maybe Rose is William’s Camilla, and his father approves and wants to acknowledge another grandson. None of these people ever learn anything.

[quote]Having heard the affair rumor, it was very easy to “see” that she was giving William the cold shoulder.

It's very easy to see what you want to see. The truth is, with the possible exception of tiaras, none of know what the fuck we're talking about when it comes to the private lives or personal values of these people. They could be Anglican monogamists, devoted to family and the rules of God and still thinking there's really something to that divine right of Kings stuff, or a debauched, entitled swinger married to a family first scrapbooker who likes to shop at the high end. We don't know and absolute pronouncements, especially involving those verbal signs of risible "I feel" or "I suspect" or "I see", are arrogant bullshit.

"There are rumors Rose’s husband is gay"

David Cholmondeley, Rose's husband, is a bisexual.

He has fuckedf is way (women & men) through the worldwide Entertainment Industrial Complex in Hollywood, NYC, and various European cities.

Interesting, Cholmondeley is no longer Lord Great Chamberlain after a couple of decades in the position. Beyond being the the man who carries the crown on the pillow, I have no idea what his duties are.

He's said to live in Paris, primarily, with his male lover.

^I didn't mean to sign that as "H" This thread is incredibly slow and jerky on a phone.

No, now he's a permanent Lord-in-Waiting to the new king.

"As a permanent Lord-in-Waiting, the Marquess of Cholmondeley, 62, will be invited to attend important state and royal occasions. He will also represent His Majesty at royal events. For example, one of his predecessors, Viscount Brookeborough, was called upon to welcome President and Mrs Trump to the UK on behalf of the late Queen Elizabeth II. There are two kinds of Lord-in-Waiting: political (those who have been appointed by the government) and non-political (appointments by the the monarch). The Marquess of Cholmondeley is a permanent Lord-in-Waiting, meaning that he is a retired senior official of the Royal Household."

Would the king humiliate the wife of the heir and the next queen, who hasn't put a foot wrong, by shoving in her face the whole family of the woman at the centre of this stupid lie? Do the math.

R414, you don’t have to believe anything. But you can fuck off as well. This is a gossip message board, I had gossip well before there was a hint of anything going on. I shared it with my DL friends. Choose to believe, don’t choose to believe. No one gives a shit.

But but but if I fabricate lies about Catherine and William, then my idol Saint Markle will appear to shine brighter than she already does. Right?

R415 Feel the love?

I enjoy BRF threads, but y’all do reach sometimes with scoping out “tension”. Like, Will might be have a scowl because he’s holding in a fart or something lol

R415 Google : Love

R415 Authority on " passion receding" .

Exactly, R425, they see what they need to see and try to disguise it in false chill.

As someone who hates PDA, the way William and Kate are in public doesn’t bother me. Some couples are smoochy, some aren’t. It looks like William inherited Charles’ solemnity and Harry inherited Diana’s—for lack of a better word—smoochiness.

R427 meet R429

The known cheaters, both with a long history of it, are right at r409.

R426 really shows just how fucking ugly Meghan really is. That's the worst profile I've ever seen on a woman. Her phoniness also just oozes right through that picture.

Please stop r422. You're just getting embarrassing now.

R421, ever heard of Diana? Would he ever humiliate the mother of the heir to the throne, he’s already done it and had no problem doing it.

Most women don’t want their husbands’ mistresses paraded up and down in the most public possible way. Charles was flaunting Camilla in Diana’s face before they were even married. Her family even told her it was too late to back out shortly before the wedding.

My guess is this is Charles’ way of saying, this is my grandchild, I don’t care where he comes from, he’s going to get the advantages of having the favor of the king, even if he can’t be publicly acknowledged for now. And rewarding the cuckholded husband or dishonored father for his discretion with titles and lands, is a long-standing British tradition going back to at least Henry VIII.

As far as Charles being too delicate to put a woman in her place, and reminding Kate that she can shut up and take it, or else she can’t be Queen, when she’s waited for decades and may well wait decades more, of course he would do that. He did it to Diana. If she had shut up and tolerated essentially being a breeding concubine while Camilla got her husband, Diana would be Queen right now.

You forget, they got what they wanted from Kate. She no longer has the high value she did before, William is tired of her and she’s produced his children already. Her leverage is diminished. They bred her, she produced multiple heirs, everything she does from now on either benefits them, or she’s out and it’s Queen Rose, the second wife of William. Charles established that precedent.

These are not the old days, when a king had to stay unhappily married no matter what, and a woman married to the royal heir was guaranteed to one day be Queen. What happened with Diana ended that tradition once and for all. A king can now divorce. Kate doesn’t have a guaranteed seat at the table. They got the kids, and in case of divorce, they will keep them. So she can play ball, or never be Queen. She has no leverage.

So she can tolerate Rose, and any future bastards with her husband, and shut up and smile adoringly at William when the cameras are on, or lose everything.

R434 is Queen Rose in the room with us, dear?

R434, the mother of the future queen will never "lose everything". She'll just lose out on being queen.

So if the Rose rumors are true, it's up to Kate to decide what she wants most, when all of her options look good to regular schmoes like me.

Ginger Whinger et femme still haven't committed one way or another.

They're going to drag this out until last moment I shouldn't wonder. PH is holding HM and the Palace by the short and curlies. Either they give into his demands or else....

Enough about Harry and Meg deciding whether to accept the invitation.

IS ANDREW INVITED AT ALL????????

THAT is what I want to know!

IIRC yes, Prince Andrew, Duke of York has been invited however HRH will have no official role nor will be present on balcony with rest of RF afterwards.

PH likely is still pushing for himself, wife and possibly children to be present on balcony with rest of RF after coronation service. That's just not going to happen as HM as made it clear in keeping with his vision of slimmed down monarchy it will be "working royals" only.

[quote]My guess is this

Yes, dear. Of course, dear. Whatever you say, dear.

R434 aka Omid Scobie, you forget one thing. KCIII has developed a very close relationship with Catherine. She was there for him after QE died and showed the same kind of attention on him that she used to shower on Harry before his ham-fisted wife destroyed relations with everyone. He also has become very close to his son and future king William, encouraged by Camilla and Catherine. William shares the kind of decision making with KC beyond anything the the latter had with his mother. The 4 of them are like a team to protect the monarchy. KC would never hurt Catherine that way. He's grown up since Diana's death. He would not embarrass his son either, if there was any truth to this. And it would later humiliate his grandson George as well. Even if he was that thoughtless on his own, Camilla would have talked him out of it. William and Catherine remain more popular and it would show poor judgment to wave something like this in their faces on KC's most important day. The fact that this boy is in the procession wipes out any notion that William has an illegitimate son.

What should they do? What are the pros and cons for the Sulkssexes in staying home or attending?

Begging Harry and Meghan to come makes Charles looking even weaker dumber than the perception.

Go or No Go there's only going to be one star of this show. Suck it up Grannies.

Don't think KC3 is going to give in far as PH and his family being on balcony. It would be a colossal bending of the knees from a man who is supposed to be head of BRF.

I mean where will it all end then? Either KC3 wants a slimmed down monarchy or not; HM cannot go around giving into PH every time his son pouts, threatens or blusters.

Considering recent events KC3 and the Palace have been more than accommodating. PH and MM have been invited, told they won't be in nosebleed section of seating for ceremony and far as KC3 is willing to go will be included in family events surrounding the coronation. That other members of BRF view Duke and Duchess of Sussex with distain, despair and maybe disgust is their own doing. PH egged on by that wife of his have made their beds and now must lie in them.

The Ginger Whinger and his tedious wife could opt to do the right British thing by showing up and putting a good face on things. Oh no; they've got to have things their own way and are digging themselves into a deeper hole.

These two conniving nasty old gits continue to verify everything Harry wrote in Spare. Everything.

Someone hasn't read "Spare", or they'd know that Harry wrote far worse thing about himself, than Charles or Cam.

Of course, Harry had no idea he was making himself look bad...

David Cholmondeley, 7th Marquess of Cholmondeley position of Lord Chamberlain to Elizabeth II's household ended when HM died. KC3 was thus free to appoint someone new, which HM has done, The 7th Baron Carrington.

Make that "Lord Great Chamberlain".

Carry on.

Details...

I don't for a moment believe the William/Rose rumors. He's the future King and could have any beautiful woman he wants. Why on earth would he choose that chinless unattractive woman Rose? She looks like the original Gladys Kravitz from Bewitched.

" He was an airline pilot, she was an airline stewardess..."

Wouldn't touch you with a barge pole dearie, that's saying something about standards anyway.

Royal Grand Potentate Of His Majesty's Most August Shrine

R463 Hasn't touched a pole in decades.

R462 Some Englishmen have very high standards.

If old English women never have sex then why do their fannys stank so bad?

Asking for a friend.

Harry is jealous of the Chumleys, you say? Good, choke on your bile littke man.

The Mail is reporting the Costa del Sulk is on the verge of announcing their decision as to whether or not they will attend. Pathetic children, playing their stupid games.

R458 - I believe Rose & Prince Peggington had an affair with absolutely no doubts.. However, Prince Peggington is NOT the father of any od Rose's children. All the children greatly resemble the Cholmondeley side of the family

R460 - David Rocksavage was quite attractive in his younger days. I find Rocksavage, even as an elder dude, to be much more intellectually & physically attractive than Prince Peggington.

R416 Sure, sure. He's trolling the daughter in law whose popularity is one of the few aces the monarchy has to play for the next generation, and he wants to embarrass her in front of the world, along with his son and heir - the only son he's got left that he's got a relationship with that's still worth a damn.

Really, you've got brains to burn, haven't you?

The isn't his bastard grandson. On the contrary, what he's acknowledging to the world is that the entire rumour was a crock of shit cooked up by Meghan's allies.

As stated, try again.

R445 And you know he's "begging" them to come how?

The invitation was extended to satisfy optics that more or less presented a damned if you do, damned if you don't quandary.

Charles opted for the one that left him looking less vindictive, but putting the Sussexes in a box: look like hypocrites if they attend, or admitting the breach with the family is final if they don't.

And, by the way, the balcony lineup was announced a day ago: Meghan and Harry aren't in it.

I dunno, from where I sit, it looks to me like Charles has played this rather well - he's off the Mean Daddy hook, the Harkles look either petulant or opportunistic.

He looks cagey, not weak.

R470 Unless you were a fly on the wall, you cannot possibly "absolutely have no doubts". The people spreading the rumour were not exactly, shall we say, objective; in fact, there is enough smoke to the Meghan inspired rumours to offset any "absolutely no doubts".

Harry implied that it was Charles and Camilla who put that rumour out there, because they were jealous of William's popularity, which far exceeded (and still does) Charles' in the polls.

If Harry put that out there, you can bet your arse he was trying to deflect from the Swiftt/Coren arrows that led back to Harry's bitch of a wife. Not to mention that it was in Harry's delusional needs to try to drive a wedge between the growing closeness between his father and his brother.

And that's what not only I, but a good many others, have absolutely no doubts about.

Qui bono? Meghan and Harry. Who doesn't? The entire BRF.

Work it out, moron.

[quote]Camilla is not into jewels

Presumably these are nicotine lozenges.

[quote]Harry implied that it was Charles and Camilla who put that rumour out there, because they were jealous of William's popularity, which far exceeded (and still does) Charles' in the polls.

That sounds about his speed.

You’re really trying to make Peggington happen, aren’t you, R470?

Good luck with that.

It's a switch from Derangers.

God, the tedium of these people. They're like dog shit on the sidewalk.

R475 Ya can't polish a turd.

R480 Indeed. Her rabid rudeness makes her easily identifiable as a Murican. Perhaps she just fancies herself "royalty".

R472/R472/R474

I don’t know about Murican, but there is no way you can have a civil conversation in these threads, r481. I live in the DL progressive anti-Dump threads and the vitriol from the trolls there is nowhere near the level in these threads, particularly from some of the pro BRF posters. Hey it may only be one, but they always have to pile on a couple of “you morons” when they post.

Yank or Brit deplorables gotta be deplorables.

I'm reading that as Prince of Wales William's net worth is now 100M due to the Duchy. I would have thought more. Plus whatever his mother left him.

Charles worth 600M now due to recent inheritance from mummy.

What was Harry worth before he got married? I'm going to take with a grain of salt any estimations of his current net worth due to the exaggerated numbers he and his wife's PR machine spin about all their "deals".

Bulk of late Diana, Princess of Wales money was from divorce settlement. Her father left his estate largely in trust (but did make small provisions for his children and grandchildren IIRC),

Diana and her sisters got some money (no idea the exact sum) but their brother got the bulk. The girls were expected to marry well.

R489

Which is as it should be. Heir usually needs all he can get to keep those grand piles of stone from crumbling down.

As it was Diana's brother held a huge sale to raise funds for much needed work on family pile.

Diana's father once contemplated selling off copies of her iconic wedding gown to make money. He was told to knock it off and plan was scrapped.

Queen Camilla? I like her style.

He doesn’t need grand piles of stone r490. Geez he could do fine with McMansion piles of stone.

Who are you to say what anybody needs, R493?

This thread is bonkers.

R494, sorry, am I missing the sarcasm gene? Or are you serious?

The Sussexes brand is ascending the Windsor brand is circling the drain. Why would Harry and Megan want to soil themselves by appearing with these losers? Staying home in America is the smart move.

R434 is mentally ill. Is that you Meghan? Projecting again?

R497 everyone knows that position was bought. Everyone is chuckling about all her "awards" she's buying. Always the Sunshine Sachs connection with every single one. They are huge laughingstocks here. Decent people won't go near them. Hollywood isn't interested.

[quote]Passion recedes in all long partnerships, especially after women give birth and get, as nature directs they should, get absorbed in infants

Passion recedes in all long partnerships, especially after women give birth and and their vaginas turn into the chunnel.

Sunshine Sachs did themselves a huge disservice by representing the diabolical duo. Oddly, even more so than they did by representing Harvey Weinstein which isn't as widely known as their Sussex relationship.

Now everyone who has ever read about these two, and they are hard to escape, knows about Sunshine Sachs and their tactics and connections. I didn't know before the Sussex soap opera that Sunshine has connections at Time magazine thus the meritless Time cover and award for the Harkles. But I know now as do many others.

PR firms need to fly under the radar so their machinations for their clients aren't so obvious. Sunshine exposed themselves via the Harkles and that's not a good thing. Previously the average gossip reader was easily bamboozled by PR smoke and mirrors but now thanks to the Harkles the PR veil has been lifted and celebrity PR spin is easily recognized and not as easily sold. Also, Ken Sunshine looks like a major creep.

Read recently (linked here? Can’t remember) that MM “approached” Steinem, something about making calls to get out the vote. That’s how they met. I have no idea if the elderly GS is still busy or sitting home all by her lonesome but if Megs has a shred of decency, she’ll continue to call and chat after she has received her award and not just drop her.

CONSIDERING sleeping with a married man whose wife doesn’t understand him? Girlfriends warning you it won’t work out? Look who’s Queen now, bitches.

On the surface, it was a classic case. He’s all like ‘My marriage is a sham’ and ‘We haven’t been intimate in years’ and ‘We’re only together for the children and the future of the hereditary monarchy’.

But what can I say? I looked into those blue eyes and I trusted him. I believed that this man, this future King, didn’t just want to be in and out of me all day like a tampon but for us to be together.

From that day I vowed to destabilise his marriage, whether by tapping the phones at Kensington Palace or tipping off the press about her stalking that art dealer. Even better, we did it together.

It wasn’t easy when she started flinging shit in public, and the kids have never warmed to me, but my whispers of ‘That younger one’s a right diva, just like her’ paid off and he’s practically disinherited now.

We married, we cycled through a number of titles that his domineering mother and the resentful public were willing to accept, and next month he’s crowned at Westminster Abbey and I’ll be there as Queen. Not Queen Consort. Not King’s Concubine. Queen.

So ladies, if you’ve identified a married man of sufficient status naive enough to be pussystruck, ignore the warnings and have that affair. It worked for me

Why Charlie & Side-Piece are desperate to have the Sussexes at their chubbly. They are the only STARS they've got.

^ Bloody hell Meghan blows away Mumbles Middleton.

R503 Lesson well learned dear.

^Thank you Meg and Haz, always nice to hear your latest round of WAAGGH.

Not sure why people are posting that Rose is ugly, I find her very attractive. Better looking than Kate TBH.

R508 Not sayin much.

R501 Do tell gran.

Is your Grindr in braille?

Here's Rose Hanbury as a younger woman, and of course the eye of the Datalounge looks at that girl and things she's plain with tragic hair.

However, a straight man would look at her and see great big tits on a tall slim frame, a pretty enough face, long hair, and a come-hither smile! To me she looks like the sort of girl who is pretty but not beautiful, but who could have any straight man she wanted.

I see Megsy is here with the pegging. We can see the slime trails from her prolapsed vagina and anus that she drags after her.

^If she's not a lesbian, she's a tragic fuck artist then...

I meant Rose at r514.

Sarah Ferguson did both flowers and jeweled tiara at her wedding.

Future Duchess of York wanted just flowers, but was informed she "had" to wear a tiara so a compromise was reached.

Put it on speed dial for R513

R513 really stinking up the joint special spritz of Deranger Fumigant for you gran

Didn't the compromise involve purchasing a tiara of her very own from Royal jewelers Garrard's, r516? A tiara not seen in decades, not even on her daughters' heads at their respective weddings and presumed to be privately sold to cover her debts...

"Sarah Ferguson did both flowers and jeweled tiara at her wedding."

Well that actually worked. She came into the church and stood at the altar wearing flowers in her hair, like a proper commoner, and then she went off to sign the book and re-appeared in a tiara, to signify that she had just become a princess! I thought and still think that it was a nice little piece of wardrobe drama.

I heard that the royal family later bought her a tiara of their own, which at the time I thought was very nice. Of course it was just because they didn't trust her with any of theirs.

They do say like Diana, Sarah was allowed to keep jewels she received as gifts during her marriage to Duke of York, including that tiara which was a gift from Elizabeth II and Prince Phillip.

Sarah, Duchess of York has worn that tiara in years since her divorce.

Sarah Ferguson's jewels went missing after a visit to New York City, Elizabeth II and BRF were not amused.

Jewels were stolen and subsequently found in possession of a teenaged luggage handler at JFK airport who saw his chance

"Describing the crime as 'near comical' and its perpetrator as a misguided but 'decent fellow,' a Federal judge sentenced a 21-year-old former baggage handler to four years' probation yesterday for rifling through an airplane cargo hold and stealing jewelry that he later learned belonged to the Duchess of York.

The theft set off an international manhunt last summer after Sarah Ferguson, the divorced Duchess, discovered that the necklace and bracelet were missing after returning to Britain from a visit to the United States.

British newspapers seized on the incident as yet another embarrassment for the royal family after the Duchess's lady-in-waiting admitted that she had put the jewels, a wedding gift from Queen Elizabeth II worth $375,000, along with other luggage in an unlocked zipper bag."

HM and BRF were incensed at Fergie for many reasons including down right carelessness.

While it long has been fairly common for lady's maids or in-waiting to royal, noble or even just well off women to have charge of jewels when traveling such things are normally kept on their person, not packed away in luggage where things can easily go walkabout.

Recall in "Upstairs/Downstairs" the shell shocked lady's maid to (now deceased) Lady Marjorie who died when Titanic sunk refused to let go of the jewel case of her late late mistress. Poor woman held onto thing for dear life both while being evacuated onto lifeboats, sitting out in water, rescue, arrival in North America and then trip back to UK. That's loyalty.....

Back in 2010 story was that Fergie was "forced" to pawn good part of her jewels to stave off bankruptcy.

"Poor woman held onto thing [jewelbox] for dear life both while being evacuated onto lifeboats, sitting out in water, rescue, arrival in North America and then trip back to UK. That's loyalty....."

Honey, that's not loyalty, that's FEAR.

In those days if a rich person lost anything, the first thing they'd do is accuse some poor servant of theft, and fire them with no references, making them unemployable and dooming them to a life of homelessness and crime. And yes, if a lady's maid survived a disaster and her mistress and her mistress's jewels did not, there were excellent odds that that maid would be accused of theft, and either made unemployable or jailed. So the only way that poor woman could avoid suspicion, and continue to work in her field, was to return the damn jewels to the family.

Go watch Upstairs/Downstairs.

Miss Roberts (or just "Roberts") like many lady's maids then and since was devoted to her mistress. Unlike the scheming and evil O'Brien of Downton Abbey Roberts was above reproach. As that parlour maid in "Gosford Park" quip's sort of maid who thought one of her mistresses farts was more important then death of her father.

It will come out when Fergie dies whether or not she sold the tiara. It was pretty rare for the BRF to buy a new tiara in those days--they had seemed pretty much as if they had enough of them by that point. But they still bought her a nice one.

Poor Sophie Edinburgh got such a shitty tiara Edward designed himself from bits of old ones to w ear for her wedding, and I was surprised the Queen (who apparently loved her dearly) didn't give her a nicer one.

Fortunately later Edward (probably with the help of his mother's money) bought Sophie the Wessex Aquamarine Necklace Tiara, which is one of the most beautiful of all tiaras the BRF owns. It looks fantastic on her--the giant aquamarine sets off her eyes.

" It was pretty rare for the BRF to buy a new tiara in those days--they had seemed pretty much as if they had enough of them by that point."

Not really; either Elizabeth II or someone bought the Poltimore Tiara for Princess Margaret. After HRH's death it among other jewels belonging to decedent were sold off by heirs to pay death taxes. Rumor has it some Asian git bought much of what was on offer or at leas the Poltimore tiara and it has sat in that private collection ever since.

As made clear in this thread and elsewhere families both royal and noble usually have two sets of jewels. Ones that are held in trust and belong to "the family" as it were, then you have personal items given to or purchased by a royal, wife or daughter of a peer, etc...

Since estates passed between monarch to heir are not subject to death duties it makes sense for Windsor (or Windsor-Mountbatten) jewels to remain property of sovereign. Other jewels are part of crown estate and thus not personal property of monarch per se.

It is understood royal and noble wives are required at times to deck themselves out as it were. When royals only married other royals such brides would be given jewels at time of their engagement or marriage and subsequent gifts that would make up their personal property. Again there were "family stones" and jewels but those were often locked up in trusts. Ditto applied or applies to those marrying into nobility.

Imagine having always to run to Elizabeth II or now Camilla every time wanting or needing jewels.

Thing is now outside of monarch royals pay death duties as do nobles with end of fee entail. Since UK death duties basically almost encompass everything owned by decedent you can see where having tons of jewels as personal property becomes a liability.

Heirs of Princess Margaret weren't first nor last who had to sell up family jewels among other precious assets to pay off death duties. That and or when a family needed money to shore up their estates including doing work on those grand family piles.

End of fee entail wasn't bad as many would think; many welcomed the chance to finally sell up assets formerly tied up in trusts for generations for ready money.

Easter Perp Walk

It wasn't clever on the other thread either, goober.

Are any DLer's going to be celebrating the Coronation in London, out on the streets and in the park? I can't really afford it, but have been thinking it would be a once in a life time thing to go to London for the weekend just to be part of this big event as a royal fan. It would be a long trip from CA for the event. I've lived in London, so I know the city gets crammed when big events happen, especially the tube. Is it worth $5000 for a long weekend? I'm Williams age, so that would be the Coronation that I would love to attend but who knows what and where I'll at that point in life, Or maybe it would be a huge hassle and waste of money.

Isn't it kind of late to book accommodations?

I found the entire RF's Easter outfits disappointing today. Charlotte's dress looked like a plain school dress. Louis also looked like he was in school uniform. Catherine has worn that same coat dress or some version of it a million times. Why was Euge walking behind Charles coming out of the church? Isn't there some kind of order to these things?

I wonder what Easter was like at Casa de Montecito? Did they once again fly in the Archbishop of Los Angeles and conduct a private sunrise service in their backyard by their entangled palm trees that represent their love? Did they make waffles for breakfast on the waffle iron the late Queen supposedly sent His Majesty Prince Archie of Riverdale? Did Meg roast a chicken for lunch? Did Oprah send the phantom children Easter baskets filled with all of her favorite things?

R534... I will be in London from the 4th to the 7th. We're trying to figure out what we're going to do. Initially I was for it, then bored, now thinking if we go we better be there early enough to get a decent view on the Mall.

[quote] Charlotte's dress looked like a plain school dress.

Charlotte has like 2 dresses. This one feels like it has been recycled mutilple times and then she has the black one for the late Queen's funeral.

Charlotte and George are getting tall. George's head is almost at Charles shoulder and Charlotte is catching up to Kate, even in heels. I love Zara but she looks light she might have gained a little bit of weight and her dress was ill fitting. I did not care for Sophie's look with the boots. Ann looked surprisingly nice in the cream coat dress with a ERII style hat. Mike looks like the fucking alpha bull ready to breed my hole like his does all the time. I liked the "Why are you so quiet. What did we do?" to the rota.

They all dress pretty horrendously. I thinking this is what British wear for occasions.

^ was

Just doing jobs Americans won't do r522.

Happy Easter from our Happy Family to yours.

R538 “Charlotte has like 2 dresses” - like, totally!

Are George and Louis the last children in Britain, to be stuck in short pants until they start univiersity?

R544 they are children of the English upper classes. Only in short trousers until they turn 8. I haven’t noticed too many Oxbridge undergraduates in shorts and long socks.

But you would know that, as you pretend to be English, don’t you? Why would you do that, R544, when you are so clearly American?

Now I’ll let you get back to trying to make “Hyacinth”, “Deranger”, “Klan Grannie” and “Prince Peggington” happen.

Not having a lot of luck with those are you, you dumb fuck American? I’ll ask again - why do you give a fuck about the British Royal Family?

Where r542? What happy family?

Yes, R545, I am American, and I never pretended to be British. What the fuck crawled up your ass.

This thread is slowing down…anyone up for starting a new one? I recommend blocking r545, that was uncalled for. Like I posted upthread, there are a few trolls on here you can’t have a civilized conversation with, and it’s one of them.

R545, forums, you see, are free for anyone to post any opinion they have in them. You’re not the thread police. Go start your own forum if you want to be.

Btw, use trolldar on r545 and you’ll see most of their posts are insults to other posters for having a different opinion.

R545 We rest our case luv,

Special intravenous dose of Deranger Fumigant for you Hyacinth R545.

Do you Royalassts have any self awareness at all? Do you not know how ridiculously antediluvial all you blather about jewels,bloodlines,titles, bloody short pants sounds to folks who live in 21st century real world. It's like listening to ten year olds go on about the minutiae in the Wizard of OZ . Wouldn't it be more entertaining for you to become Disney Kweens? You'd get a cheaper better parade for your quid.

But is it egg-proof?

R548 and R549 if I posted on DL when other people have views that I disagree with I wouldn’t get much else done. On the contrary my postings are usually in response to misinformation posted by people who should know better but don’t, and, lately, in response to Americans who overrun the BRF threads and who feel the need to let everyone know that they think the British monarchy is hopeless/racist/misogynist/undemocratic etc and that they have no interest in the BRF. When I ask why they think that, they cannot respond with anything other than the same 3 or 4 pictures of the BRF looking frightful (of course nobody here has taken a bad picture), a Camilla horse joke, something about tampons, something about the Marchioness of Cholmondeley, something about pegging and that old favourite - something about British teeth. Nothing factual or robust beyond “We fought a war to get rid of the monarchy!”. When I then ask why they are here in a thread for which they allegedly have no interest the response is always deafening silence.

So trolldar me all that you want, but in the meantime try to acquire some actual knowledge instead of trying to make “Hyacinth”, “Klan Grannies”, “Prince Peggington”, “Tampon King” and “Horsemilla” etc happen. You surely have more in your life than that. And if not, that’s pretty sad, but no huge surprise.

Not formatted correctly but here’s some of the wit and wisdom of r554. Believe me, it’s just a small sample. Muriel, why has this poster not been banned? It seems to really hate DL’ers. Btw r554 I don’t see a lot of intellectual/analytical/rational responses here, if you’re “responding to misinformation.”

“It’s always entertaining to hear Americans banging on about something about which they know so little. But about which they assume to know so much. Always. Always. Always. You people are so stupid, which is why we laugh at you. Always.”

“It’s incomprehensible to you because you have no idea of how the British upper classes operate, and why should you? You’re a shallow parochial vacuous American. Your opinion doesn’t matter to anybody but yourself.“

“Very clever response, especially for an American, R305 - I know that you people have trouble with reading, writing and finding out things for yourselves. Have a lovely day!”

’R385 can you post that again, but in English this time?“

“It’s incomprehensible to you because you have no idea of how the British upper classes operate, and why should you? You’re a shallow parochial vacuous American. Your opinion doesn’t matter to anybody but yourself.“

…and it looks like r545’s post has been blocked into oblivion. As it should be. FF’ing this poster as well. I don’t get it why, why post on an American forum if you hate American opinions so much?

It’s not an American forum.

[quote]Countdown to Coronation of Charles III

I thought he died. No?

And if it was an American forum (which it isn't), so what? We have to be nice to the host country or else? Are you sure it's not a North Korean forum?

R557 and r559, yes, it’s an international forum. I was really only trying to point out that OP is disparaging Americans on a forum whose company is based in the US, and then saying we have no right to comment on the BRF because we’re American.

I won't argue you have no right to comment on BRF threads, R560, because you do. No question. But, to the disparaging point, so what? You guys are already disparaging the UK as pointed out. You can't argue that summary of "they cannot respond with anything other than the same 3 or 4 pictures of the BRF looking frightful (of course nobody here has taken a bad picture), a Camilla horse joke, something about tampons, something about the Marchioness of Cholmondeley, something about pegging and that old favourite - something about British teeth." So who disparaged first?

Honestly, the only thing I really can't stand about DL is the Yankee Doodle hypocrisy. You dish it out but refuse to take it. Even the hardest left Democrats on here have that greatest nation on earth bullshit coded in their DNA. It's tiresome and if you're smart it's a lie and if you're stupid it's a delusion.

[quote]It's tiresome and if you're smart it's a lie and if you're stupid it's a delusion.

You're no fucking ray of sunshine yourself, sunshine.

Thanks for nothing, R562.

Block and report r561. We might be disparaging toward the BRF but that’s our right and it’s fun. You however choose to respond by insulting and disparaging the poster. You just don’t see the difference, do you.

Also, for all of our sake, someone start a new thread! Please!

Poor R561.... someone was insulted and disparaged on Datalounge? Oh, the humanity.

And here's your news thread, dear. Just for you.

Sorry, R565 was meant for the benefit of poor R564. Idiocy and I see red.

I hope that's not too insulting and disparaging for you, old pet.

LOL... R564 is R560... do you always defend yourself in the third person? Or are you just clumsy when trying to execute deceit?

R567, yes I made both of those posts? Did you get lost on your way to making sense? In neither of those posts did I refer to myself in the third person.

Again, DL’ers, block and FF r561. The troll still does not get it. Feel free to insult the BRF or any topic on this forum, but not a DL poster or member. You don’t belong here. You’re a remnant from annother board that probably tossed you.

And btw, r561 is also the Pet Troll! FF’d and ignored from this point forward.

Yes, yes. Everybody's going to listen to you, dear.

…and the air is much cleaner in here now!

R569: You’re not the thread police. Go start your own forum if you want to be.

Recognize that quote? You wrote it.

R570... I have him on block now and buggered up the numbers.

^ Obviously the vermin are becoming resistant to Deranger Fumigant let's try industrial strength.

Don't those posts just change everything?!?

The beast cannot be tamed.

R555 Dear you're a toady of King Tampon of Grand Fenwick aka Formerly Great Britain .

Bleachers going up.

Obvious why Captain Harry had three combat tours in Afghanistan and Wimpy Willie was kept home. It's a man's job Hyacinth.

Charlie was "hunting for mushrooms" while Mummy was gasping her last breath. Windsors are bloody shite humans as are their groveling royalist toadies.

R577 I thought William passed his pilot's exam and Harry failed?

Small wonder if you were choosing cannon fodder that you'd send Harry multiple times.

NOBODY SAYS A WORD AGAINST SEARCH AND RESCUE WHILE I'M AROUND, R577!!!

Seriously, I have the highest regard for people who do search and rescue, or who do other things that involve taking risks and doing manly things to *save* others, not kill them. That's what I want in a man!

R579 Harry was not allowed to re up for a third tour in Afghanistan because he was priority target and therefore a danger to his squadron. He was a a Co-Pilot and gunner in Apache helicopters Obviously he Capt. Harry was qualified to fly them and did. He wanted to continue in that capacity and could have but Taliban found his location and would target any fellow soldiers around him. He was recalled by Northwood HQ in London very much against his wishes.. He did now want to work a "desk job" so he separated from active duty. The "Harry flunked his test" has been repeatedly denied by his instructors and even his commanding officer but people believe the tabs . That's what makes quid.

R581 We know Rosie.

Why is he shaking hands with Robin Leach?

R581 Willie rescued my puss when it was in danger and continues to do so. RESPECT!

R585 That's one puss I'd leave up the tree.

^ William is a Popeye fan. Who knew.

Proves that Williy has his Pa's bad taste in fugly side-pieces.

Rosie's the peg of my heart.

Palace releases Official Coronation Emoji !

BREAKING: MEGHAN NOT ATTENDING CORONATION, STAYING IN CALIFORNIA TO FROST BIRTHDAY CAKE FOR ARCHIE.

HARRY GOING SOLO

Only reason to tune in this circus. Harry will show these clowns what a real King looks like.

He's flying in for the coronation ceremony only. An hour tops. Flying right back to California. With the time difference he 'll be back to see Archie blow out his birthday candles. Well played Papa.

Harry is doing his duty as he always has. He's protecting his wife and children from the bile It's a big win for the Sussex brand The optics will be great for him. He'll be the only one the media focuses on. Even wearing his pajamas he'd upstage that pathetic lot.

How hard is to upstage this...

First I wondered what stunt Meghan would pull on Coronation Day to divert attention from the event to her. Obviously it will be Archie's birthday. But then I wondered if part of the whole negotiation included something about Meghan not being able to do anything to divert attention otherwise...... what would the otherwise be? I still think she'll pull some stunt anyway. Girl has no shame.

One last blast of Deranger Fumigant before we close this loony bin.

The main loon went off to play with herself and insult DL posters in thread II.

So they don't want to attend the coronation together because they're afraid of slights and snubs? Fucking weenies!

If you're gonna be the black sheep of your family, OWN the black sheep role! Go on a long pub crawl on coronation night if they want you to be the family black sheep, tell everyone you meet that your relatives are a bunch of snooty assholes be photographed throwing up on the sidewalk, make them wish they'd stayed on your good side!
