Royals "Don't Want to Socialize" with Sussexes at Coronation, Hope They'll Be "Seated in Iceland"

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have officially been invited to King Charles' upcoming coronation after a ton of speculation about whether the royals would include them on the guest list. In fact, the couples' rep released a statement confirming the news, simply saying "I can confirm The Duke has recently received email correspondence from His Majesty's office regarding the coronation. An immediate decision on whether The Duke and Duchess will attend will not be disclosed by us at this time."

While the Sussexes still haven't made said decision, there are rumors that they will be in attendance at the event—and sources tell the Daily Mail that the royals have no desire to socialize with them.

Per a friend of the royal family who spoke to the outlet, "They will be given the cold shoulder by very many relatives. One said to me, I hope they’ll be seated in Iceland. Many of the family just want nothing more to do with them. If they have to see them at the Coronation then so be it, but they do not want to socialize with them."

The Daily Mail also reports that Meghan and Harry will stay at Frogmore Cottage should they attend the coronation, despite the fact that they're being evicted from the property—something their rep also confirmed with a statement saying "We can confirm the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have been requested to vacate their residence at Frogmore Cottage."

While the couples' lease on Frogmore Cottage runs out in March, apparently they've been allowed to extend it for just a few months to arrange the transportation of their belongings to California.

They are treating the Sussexes just as they would have treated Diana. This is why I hope they act with dignity, attend the coronations of His Majesty and the Queen Adulterers, in any presence as directed, and as the RF departs behind closed doors, the Sussexes visit DIANA'S charities, drop some heavy coin, and leave for CA. Coronation day is the day Diana would have become queen.

Suck it, Rottweiler, there are STILL three people in the marriage.

It's got so bad for the BRF they have initiated a training program for Reporters who cover the BRF. They will be given training on how to cover Royal reporting. Journalists are supposed to be impartial not guided when reporting. The second issue is that the charity that is suppose to be impartially mentoring these reporters is run by Camillas friend. Her daughter attended the Piers/Clarkson lunch and her step daughter is married to the Blackamoor brooch Royals son. Impartial my ass. When journalists are told what, when and how to report its right out of the fascist playbook.

R3 Willy is a 40 yo angry man baby like his Pa. In Spare Harry describes how Willy spent a week literally screaming and yelling at him because Harry got "permission " from the Queen to wear his beard at his wedding. Willy demanded that if he the Heir was forced to shave then the Spare should have to also. Willy went so far as to plan to get Harry pissed at his Batchelor party and forcible shave off his beard. WTF? This from a 36 yo man.Harry says his bro is compulsively competitive with him and his out of control rage is because he as the heir is so tightly controlled by the palace officials he hates. When he heard Harry was going to Africa on a wildlife conservation tour he pounded the table and said No! No! Africa is Mine Mine! Then comes the physical violence. Anyone checking anorexic Katie for bruises.? William is an angry violent control freak Just look at him. One day he will go off on camera and that will be the end of him. That's why he hates his own brother. Besides Diana loved Harry more.

"They are treating the Sussexes just as they would have treated Diana"

Had Diana, Princess of Wales lived don't believe she would be treated horribly by BRF at either funeral of QEII and or coronation. Though both events would likely be awkward for Diana as a divorced former royal, it was made clear even after HM took away the HRH that Diana was still part of the royal family.

While Diana likely may have attended some private events surrounding the coronation such as balls or parties, you can hardly expect her to be invited to her ex-husband's coronation. More so since the adulteress CPB who is widely blamed for busting up the Waleses marriage is going to be crowned queen consort. It would have been like Catherine of Aragon attending the coronation of Anne Boleyn.

Interesting at R9.

Those Maori people from New Zealand performed that as a tribute/honor to the King and Queen Consort.

They are subjects and part of the British Commonwealth, and it was a "gift" of sorts to the King and his wife.

The fact that Camilla completely disregarded that performance is so rude and crass, that I almost find it unbelievable she would behave that way.

[quote] Archie and Lilibet 'not invited' to King Charles' coronation as Harry and Meghan 'set to be given cold shoulder'

Their parents Prince Harry and Meghan Markle will be invited, but will be "given the cold shoulder" by many relatives.

The couple have not been told whether their children, aged 3 and 1, will be included in the coronation, with one source saying that they are "very young".

The Sussexes have not confirmed whether they will be going to the royal event on May 6. The rift between Harry and the rest of the royal family after a series of explosive revelations in his book and Netflix documentary is still said to be painful.

Royal officials told Harry and Meghan that discussions could be held on whether Archie and Lilibet might be invited if they confirmed their own attendance at the coronation.

Options also include Harry going alone, or both of them staying away, the Sunday Telegraph reported.

But organisers painstakingly putting together plans for the event are working on the basis that they will attend.

Harry and Meghan may not be very popular with their family at the coronation and they will not be invited to take part in the official balcony appearance.

"They will be given the cold shoulder by very many relatives. One said to me, "I hope they'll be seated in Iceland," a friend of the royal family told the Mail.

The doubt over Archie and Lilibet's invitation is likely to further widen the rift between the Sussexes and the rest of the royal family.

Prince William and Kate Middleton's children Prince George, 9, and Princess Charlotte, 7, are expected to go. Prince Louis, 5, is more of a doubt but still likely to be taken.

Meanwhile Camilla's teenage grandchildren are also expected to go. The Queen Consort had pushed for them to carry the canopy under which she would be anointed, but this plan was quashed.

Royal sources said it would be "wholly improper" to discuss Camilla's grandchildren attending but not some of the King's.

Charles himself was four when he attended his mother Queen Elizabeth's coronation, although he did not stay for the full three hours. Princess Anne was two and did not attend, although she was on the balcony for the official photographs later.

There is no sense nor reason in packing up the Sussex sprogs and hauling them to UK for the coronation.

Their parents will have a very limited role (showing up, go where they are told to go, do what they are told to do and don't create a fuss), nor likely will be in UK very long anyway. Can't see either PH or MM high on anyone's guest list for various balls or parties being given in honor of event.

Bringing those children means also an entire encourage of child minders, supplies and so forth. Quite a lot of bother when their parents likely won't spend more than a few days in UK.

Finally the Markle woman won't have it because, as she has not let world forget, coronation day coincides with that of her son's birthday. To bring one or both sprogs would put any plans for a birthday party totally out. It would have to occur week or so before event or sometime afterward.

Will hates Harry because Harry is an asshole. Harry seemed like a decent likable guy for many years. Granted, we didn't actually know him. But who knew that Harry wasn't just an asshole, but turned out to be a person who is a lying, grifting narcissist who cannot be trusted and wallows in victimhood while throwing his family under the bus. Who knew that Harry is just rather a rotten person?

William, Kate and the rest of them are not perfect, but they didn't bank their livelihood on being lying grifters. Charles and Camilla are no prizes. They set out to destroy Diana's marriage before it even began. But as wrong as that was, it was a marital dispute. This bullshit that Harry and Markle have pulled is unforgiveable.

The entire UK threw these grifting Markles a $38 million wedding. The country loved both of them. No one started hating them until they became lying, mercenary thugs. And it has NOTHING to do with Markle being of mixed race.

Markle is still talking about "Kate made me cry." Don't ever forget that a grown woman is still bitching about crying over a child's bridesmaid dress from almost five years ago. This is no reason to try and destroy the monarchy even if Markle hated it.

There was one journalist who wrote about Markle being "straight outa Compton." And it was an American journalist--not a British journalist. Markle plays the victim and lies--and so does her asshole husband.

Unfortunately, they will be there despite this deceitful, threatening, cat-and-mouse game they're trying to play. Markle NEVER misses a camera pointed her way. And Harry the put-upon, lying victim will do what she tells him to do. They have 16 bathrooms to pay for in Montecito. And when you are Meghan Markle there is never enough money no matter what you have to do to get it.

Imagine growing up this way? No love. Just pomp & circumstance.

But by Gawd! The boy got the fuck out, and isn’t as beholden as his predecessor.

It really is a fascinating tale for the ages.

This man chose himself above the Firm. That’s a VERY big deal, & if I ever see him somewhere (I won’t) I’d love to give him a huge, warm hug, and thank him ever so much, for showing us what it means to have boundaries.

They live to scheme , disassemble and leak stores to the ROTA (Royal press corps) about their favored and unfavored Windsors. They are like the palace eunuchs. Vayrs from GOT for real. They propagandize and spin to make Charlie look good even if the have to make his sons( both Willy & Harry and their wives ) look bad. These are the back stabbing "Grey Men" that Diana spoke of. They set out to destroy Diana in the press and they set out to do the the same with Meghan especially after the Sussexes tour of S. Africa got world wide favorable reviews. As with Diana overshadowing Charlie the 'Grey Men" would not permit the Sussexes to become more popular then Charles & Camilla. Their Pa's Side -Piece has a boatload of writers and reporters that are personal friends she has groomed over the last thirty years to re-hab her own sordid image. They gladly vomit up the stories the Queen Cuntsort spoon feeds them. Both Harry and William demanded a meeting with the Queen and Charles regarding these out of control slanderous "planted" stories. When they walked in the room The Bee,The Fly and The Wasp were sitting at the table. "Is this true? Her Majesty The Queen asked. "No ma'am !" they replied in unison. Any wonder why Harry and Meghan took their family and fled this nest of vipers.

Harry would happily miss his father's coronation. It's that yacht-girl C-lister psycho pushing this humiliation on the Harkles. She would crawl over broken glass to be photographed at that ceremony. She has no shame and no pride, she convinces Harry not to have any either.

She needs the Coronation Chapter, with photos, for her memoir/fantasy book. They must appear to be royal adjacent, no matter that the real royals shun them like the plague. Those without pride or shame pretend not to notice they're in the Siberia seating section and everyone is studiously silent.

I wonder if they'll have Handsome Johnny sitting right behind them again, watching their every move?

🤣 This isn't a joke post?

Of course, you couldn't possibly surmise that Harry wanted to bask in the reflected glory of his family by requesting the half in, half out arrangement due to imperceptiveness issues, to put it kindly. (Hey! You have something in common with your hero.)

He very much wanted to remain on his terms so he could continue to suck on the Royal teat. The freedom narrative only began when the Queen gave him a firm NO.

Harry was perfectly content to remain in a "No love. Just pomp & circumstance." environment and market his association with them for cash on the side, conflicts of interest be damned.

I doubt if many, if any, members of the Royal Family read "The Guardian," but the paper has a great feature worth reading each weekend -- "Dining Across The Divide." It brings together over a meal two people from opposite political views. They dis cuss a range of issues. Last week brought together a middle-aged man who's always voted Labour and a 21 year old man leaning left but tired of politics as usual. On the topic of the monarchy the older guy gave a very telling remark:

There is no "noxious symbiotic relationship" between "The Guardian" and any member of the British Royal Family, unless that person desires the end of the monarchy -- in short, is a closet republican.

"The Guardian," by and large, ignores the goings-on of the Windsors, except for actual newsworthy stories, to write about the Crown's vast wealth, its tax-dodging ways, Charles' spider memos, or calling for the monarchy's abolition.

The upside of the Sussexes “befriending” you is that it’s confirmation that you’re more important than they are. If you’re thirsty as fuck, they’ll collaborate and share some tabloid space with you (your name in bold!).

The “downside” of the Sussexes “befriending” you is that they will throw you under the bus at the drop of a hat. They will use you for everything you have: private jet, private club membership, whatever useful connections you have, your cock/pussy, paid gossip item, free lodging, drugs, dinner (you think either one of them has ever reached for the check when the waiter places it on the table?). They’ll air your dirty laundry to make a buck. They’ll make sure they’re papped with you whether you like it or not. And when they can’t use you for anything else, you’re flushed down the toilet.

And if you’re hoping to get connected to the actual royals, you can forget it, hahaha.

R111 They were in demand by cafe society. They had, however, lost the sheen that attaches itself to the Real Thing. And that's the mistake the Sussexes made: they think Oprah and receiving the Crowned Heads of Europe draped in historic jewels are mutually inclusive. They aren't.

It was exactly the endless rounds of parties, cruises, galas, races, et al., that cheapened the Windsors to the symbols of empty wealth that clung to them.

It was Edward's successor and his wife who led the country through WWII and who ended up on balconies waving to cheering crowds.

While Harry would like to claim Diana as his and his alone (including tripe about how she is watching his (only his?) life), it's plain that

(1) William was her favorite

(2) Diana would be horrified at Harry's attack on the RF

(3) At the time of her death, after being cast as confidant by his mother, William at 15 was smart enough and old enough to begin pulling away and to start to have a much clearer, accurate picture of his mother. He could still love her, but was probably much more aware of her less than admirable qualities.

(4) After Diana's death William got in touch with those who knew Diana best to learn who his mother really was. Rather than the facade she produced for public consumption.

(5) Diana would have sent Markle packing as soon as she appeared on the scene. (Being a manipulator herself, Diana would have nosed out the scamming Markle and given her no help at all).

Harry's 12 year old self remains as does the image of his mother as she appeared to him at that time.

Re. point 2, I don't think horrified given she'd done her fair share of it, but she wouldn't approve - it's damaging William. Re point 5, agree 100%.

But I argue if Diana was alive, Harry wouldn't be the man he is now. Probably still a bit of a loser but not vulnerable to the influences and impulses that have made him the figure he has become. This is all because his mother died too young (in both cases) and he wasn't supported (or managed) properly after the fact. I mean he's still a spoiled baby, probably, but the vengefulness would have been less pronounced if it existed at all.

What's interesting is what kind of man William would have become, had his mother lived.

Harry knew that he wanted to marry Meghan, and vice-versa.

William never wanted to marry Kate, and that's why they broke up. She felt the relationship was going nowhere.

But Waity Katie waited around for the BIG PRIZE, and she got it.

She couldn't care less about William. She just wanted to be Queen one day. And William needed a wife.

So it worked out for both of them, even though they don't really like each other.

Charles can't really force his family members to be entirely nice to Harry and Meghan--they can cut the Sussexes in all kinds of subtle ways. Of course, if they do, they'll just have it printed in the next memoir, but I bet some of them (Anne, the Prince and Princess of Wales) are already plotting things they can do to be cold.

It's pointless to cite stories in the tabloids, because the tabloids make it up knowing that as long as they say "it is reported that" or play the tired old "a palace insider said" . . .

No Palace insider would tell the press anything of the kind. These are all pot-stirring stories that no one will be held accountable for running, because otherwise the Palace would be doing nothing else from dawn to dusk.

No one knows what's going on behind the scenes. But I think it's safe to suppose that Charles knows only too well that putting the Sussexes on that balcony would generate a wave of boos that could be heard in outer space, and tacitly endorse everything the Sussexes have done to undermine the King and William for the last three years. I doubt William and Kate would even set foot on the balcony if Charles tried it on- but why the hell would he want to?! He's got enough problems.

Because, if the Sussexes got on, then Andrew, who also clearly isn't going to be on that balcony, would be quite justified in heading to France to raise an army to depose his brother. The insult would be beyond bearing.

And, for further evidence that the story is total bollocks - the royal website was just updated: the Sussex's web pages were moved to below the rest of the working royals, despite outranking them in the line of succession.

If you think that was an Act of God, think again. In small, incremental ways, Charles is carefully making himself clear: no more rent-free Frogmore Cottage near the Walse family because the Wales won't stand for it; Sussex web pages moved to the back of the line; Counsellors of State added to the list so that the King can skip over Harry and Andrew when he travels; no appearance on the balcony; seating at the coronation as per their relevance to the future of the monarchy (i.e., none).

They got their kids' titles. That's all they're going to get.

Charles doesn't have his mother's "bonte" (a broad sense of good will - it was one of her well-known personality traits, and sometimes too much so, but there it is)

Charlese is known to be thin-skinned and peevish - especially where insults to his wife and his status are concerned. He's a very odd combination of an essentially Edwardian man with a veneer of modernity.

The Sussexes will not appear on the balcony, nor will Harry be wearing ermine robes or a coronet, as none of the other peers will be wearing them, either.

If you watch footage of the Queen's funeral, the first time God Save the King is played, Harry's face is a portrait of hate, and even for the sake of optics he barely mouths a few words.

In fact, I'd be surprised if any joint family photos in BP afterwards included the Sussexes.

If Harry and Meghan have the sense of goats, they'll politely decline. If they don't, they'll get the same treatment they did at the Jubilee: a seat in the second row, no role in the procession or ceremony, no balcony appearance, and no family photos.

[quote] Lord Mountbatten was Edward VIII /Duke of Windsor's closest mate.

[quote] Hey, young Mountbatten at R266 is cute.

Ron Perks, Mountbatten's driver in Malta in 1948, alleged that he used to visit the Red House, an upmarket gay brothel in Rabat used by naval officers. Andrew Lownie, a fellow of the Royal Historical Society, wrote that the United States Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) maintained files regarding Mountbatten's alleged homosexuality.

Lownie also interviewed several young men who claimed to have been in a relationship with Mountbatten. John Barratt, Mountbatten's personal and private secretary for 20 years, has said Mountbatten was not a homosexual, and that it would have been impossible for such a fact to have been hidden from him.

In 2019, files became public showing that the FBI knew in the 1940s of allegations that Mountbatten was homosexual and a paedophile. The FBI file on Mountbatten, begun after he took on the role of Supreme Allied Commander in Southeast Asia in 1944, describes Mountbatten and his wife a as "persons of extremely low morals", and contains a claim by American author Elizabeth, Baroness Decies, that Mountbatten was known to be a homosexual and had "a perversion for young boys".

Norman Nield, Mountbatten's driver from 1942 to 1943, told the tabloid New Zealand Truth that he transported young boys aged 8 to 12 who had been procured for the Admiral to Mountbatten's official residence and was paid to keep quiet. Robin Bryans had also claimed to the Irish magazine Now that Mountbatten and Anthony Blunt, along with others, were part of a ring that engaged in homosexual orgies and procured boys in their first year at public schools such as the Portora Royal School in Enniskillen.

Former residents of the Kincora Boys' Home in Belfast have asserted that they were trafficked to Mountbatten at Classiebawn Castle, his residence in Mullaghmore, County Sligo.

by Anonymousreply 272March 27, 2023 11:54 AM

Funny R271 should pop up today because The Times has this article, which has four notable tidbits:

1) Larman said he suspected material on Prince Philip was not being made available because the royal household at the time “really did not want him to marry the Queen” - inference being the material makes somebody look bad, but not necessarily Prince Philip (on the basis the marriage went ahead. But if there were scathing or stretched efforts to discredit him, and it got out in his lifetime, the authors would have to own it, which if it came out at the wrong time could affect careers.)

2). "Larman said that in contrast (to lots of information about the Duke of Windsor), information on Prince Philip appeared to have been excised and there was little on Prince George, the Duke of Kent, who died in a plane crash in Scotland in 1942. The Duke of Kent is long rumoured to have had homosexual affairs, including with Noel Coward.

3) There's a body of evidence suggesting an assassination plot against the Duke of Windsor. But one fact doesn't add up entirely... he abdicated very late in 1936 so any plot to get him would have been before abdication not after. And it sounds unusual the Duke/King would be riding in public in London. In the grounds of Buckingham Palace maybe but randomly out in public? I'd want to know more about that before I took it as gospel.) "Larman said details in MI5 documents that had been briefly available at the National Archives but had now been resealed matched other information pointing to George McMahon as in effect being sanctioned by the security services to assassinate the king after he had abdicated. The attempted assassination on the duke in 1936 as he was riding his horse in London failed when McMahon dropped the weapon."

4) He told the festival that the Duke of Windsor, who abdicated in 1936 over his love for Wallis Simpson, an American divorcee , said he had provided “inside information” on the layout of Buckingham Palace. The Nazis bombed the palace in 1940 with several bombs hitting “family quarters”. Larman said there was no doubt that the duke was a Nazi sympathiser and that it looked as if he had provided information to them. “The Nazis knew what they were doing and that was because they had inside information [from the duke],” Larman said. “I don’t think he [Edward VIII] wanted to see him [his brother, George VI] dead but . . . he was in a position where he knew exactly where everybody was in Buckingham Palace.”

Something to look forward to, if we're all still here: Larman said the countdown had begun on securing access to the archive of Alan Lascelles, royal secretary to four British monarchs between 1920-1953 and later keeper of the Royal Archives. The archive is held at Churchill College, Cambridge and is not to be opened until five years after the Queen’s death.

The King was too "busy" to meet with his son after the Duke of Sussex made a surprise visit to London to attend a High Court hacking case against a newspaper publisher.

The Duke of Sussex attended the hearing to throw his weight behind a legal claim against Associated Newspapers Limited (ANL), the publisher of the Daily Mail, over alleged phone hacking and misuse of private information.

Prince Harry flew commercial from California to London for the four-day preliminary hearing because he wanted to show his support, the Telegraph understands.

But he is not expected to see his father during his visit, despite making contact, because he was told he was busy.

The King is understood to be at Highgrove, in Gloucestershire, and neither the Prince and Princess of Wales nor their children are in London or Windsor because it is the school holidays, palace sources said.

The hearing was due to coincide with the King’s state visit to France before the trip was cancelled on Friday because of ongoing civil unrest and violence over Emmanuel Macron’s pension reforms.

--

So he was supposed to be away, finds himself suddenly at home, and is still too busy to see Harry.

For fuck's sake, he's in London by himself right now and neither his father nor his brother want anything to do with him.

So what makes him think that they want him at the coronation?

Get a fucking clue!

He just needs to move on with his life and accept that he has lost his father and brother.

And I'm not saying this to put blame on Harry. It's because his father and brother are fucking cunts.

But at some point you have to accept that the relationship with them is dead, and now he has to focus on Meghan and his two children.

Prince Harry blasts the Palace today in court

"The Institution was without a doubt withholding information from me for a long time about NGN's phone hacking and that has only become clear in recent years as I have pursued my own claim with different legal advice and representation," he said.

Harry added: "It is not an exaggeration to say that the bubble burst in terms of what I knew in 2020 when I moved out of the United Kingdom."

"To this day, there are members of the Royal Family and friends of mine who may have been targeted by NGN and I have no idea whether they have or have not brought claims," he continued. "There was never any centralised discussion between us about who had brought claims as each office in the Institution is siloed. There is this misconception that we are all in constant communication with one another but that is not true."

Men on both sides of the family eventually lost their hair: Johnnie Spencer (Diana's dad) lost most of his before he died (see photo), Charles Spencer (her brother) is beginning to lose his, and of course Charles and Edward and Philip all found their hair thinning dramatically on the Windsor/Mountbatten side.

Most men lose their hair as they age. Hollywood celebrities fool us into thinking men do not, but they were toupees and have restorative surgeries most people do not have. British royals and aristocrats are pretty firm about not having hair surgery done--they consider it déclassé, and prefer to allow hair thinning and balding to occur naturally.

I really think Harry is certifiable at this point. Here he is again, blaming the "institution", that is to say, the BRF for "hiding" from him the hacking story. Some of these occurred when he was more than 25 years old, so he is basically stating that he was incapable of picking up a newspaper himself - in other words, that as a grown man, insisting that he was totally dependent on the monarchy for everything he knew about the world. Therefore, the statute shouldn't apply to him.

It's an incredibly shoddy excuse, and it comes barely five weeks before the coronation to which he has been invited. Then people wonder at the King's and Prince of Wales's refusal to see Harry whilst here for his court case. And why the other royals don't want to socialise with the Harkles.

Journalist Vanessa Georgiadis has written a piece about Meghan. Georgiadis is a friend of the (black female) journalist for THE CUT whose interview with Meghan showed Nutmeg in a light that neither Nutmeg nor the magazine liked. It was brilliantly done - the journalist simply let Meghan hoist herself with her own petard.

One of the things that Georgiadis states, in agreement with the THE CUT journo, is that Meghan evidences only a tenuous relationship with objective reality.

It's a trait Meghan shares with her stans, who are currently circulating a petition urging King Charles at the coronation to hand the Queen's crown to Meghan "to preserve the sanctity of the monarchy". The stunning ignorance and complete obliviousness to "objective reality" which, quite interestingly, reflects their idol's problem.

You couldn't make it up.

Meanwhile, I believe a partial guest list for the coronation has been released. So far, the Harkles aren't on it.

The article that r351 references is based on an interview with the writer in a podcast called On The Edge with Andrew Gold. It’s a good listen. The writer points out that the initial fascination with MM was trying to suss out how she, an obscure actress on a cable show, met Harry. Soho House? London? Their story kept changing. There was very little mention of her ethnicity at first because no one watched her show.

Also MM was well known at a certain (basic) level in H’wood because she was a tenacious networker, she and first husband, and she really hustled.

What I didn’t know was that when the story of their dating broke, a woman tabloid reporter moved down to Mexico to “befriend” Pa Markle. That’s as far as I’ve gotten in the podcast.

R360, during her childhood she was educated by her German Jewish governess, who, if I remember correctly, taught her German. Her governess had to return to Germany at the onset of WWI.

R358 The Queen didn't speak fluent German. Philip's sisters all married Germans, and he may or may not have picked up enough in his wanderings from one household to another after leaving Greece, but I don't know about "fluent". "Fluent" means something very specific, and a smattering of a second language is a far different matter from fluent. The Queen did speak quite good French, as her mother did. Speaking French was considered a necessity for well-born young women of the Queen's and the Queen Mother's day. The Queen Mother was able to speak French on her first state visit to France as Queen after the Abdication, which accounted for some of the wild adulation the new King and Queen received in France, along with the Queen's all-white mourning clothes for her recently deceased mother.

Pss Eugenie, again resident at Ivy Cottage on the grounds of Kensington Palace, lives in a "Grace an Favour" residence that she enjoys access to strictly at the pleasure of King Charles, and she hosts Harry without so much as a by your leave, especially given that the security forces around it would have to have been notified?

And that the place would be the first one the media would surround given Eugenie's extremely foolish advertising of her alliance with the Sussexes?

I rather think not.

It is likely that by "friends", Harry parked himself with people whose names and addresses aren't so well known to the press, and well away from royal scrutiny, given that Buck House and Clarence House are a stone's throw away.

R405 I saw the petition and the plea of the poster to sign it. The spelling and grasp of English (not to mention grasp of constitutional monarchical power and the lack thereof) suggest one of Meghan's fans "abroad" - China, The Netherlands, South America . . .

Or, if you really want to go tinfoil hat, a very clever sting painting Meghan's fangurls as imbecilic, as a form of shade thrown at Meghan.

Frankly, the language does look like some of the foreign comments lauding her as a future Queen of England (they've never heard of Great Britain) below the line in places like the DM.

But that it caused wide ranging hilarity is not in doubt. Particularly the spelling, "Dutchess".

I blame the social media universe which allows people to group together in their own cyber countries and feed each other fairy-tales that they can all enjoy because they don't let anyone in who can disabuse those fantasies with the truth.

But it is a bit frightening . . . if these are people and not bots, you have to consider that they're raising children, voting, sitting on juries . . .

Meanwhile, the ceremony for Queen Elizabeth II is estimated to have cost a total of £1.57million, the equivalent of £46million today.Mar 9, 2023. /the Mirror

I thought he wanted to downscale the coronation, hmm. Just lip service?

by Anonymousreply 443April 8, 2023 5:35 AM

I wonder if this coronation wasn't rushed. It doesn't sound very interesting or very original, it's best known at this point for trying to do it on the cheap. As an example they've cut the procession route by about 2/3 what it was for the Queen. It is a moment in history. Respectable crowds could have been expected. Brits are drawn to the pageantry. I think they've overtalked in what little they've said. They should have waited. Let a year pass between the death of the Queen and the coronation. Done it in September or even early October, when the weather is still pretty good. May can be cold and wet (though climate change may have changed it. I was over once in mid-May, in the last ten years, and it was in the eighties.)

It's all so staid and the same. Big church service with the new usual mix of people of colour charity worker, small parade, six people on the balcony, rock concert. Where's the massive public fireworks events the night before or the night of the Coronation? Why not open the palaces you can (like Windsor) for free for the day, give the people who can't afford and can never afford the 50 pounds admission? Is he making a speech to the country and Commonwealth the night of (he may well be.) Why not a special Coronation exhibit at the National Portrait Gallery, the V&A, etc. etc. There's tons of stuff never sees the light of day (paintings, furniture, jewels, historic clothing worn by dead royals) that could have been mounted to create a real splash, a sense of connection with the monarchy, and put the focus on creating a memory in the people whose support you need to keep the whole show on the road.

The monarchy seems barely able to try anything different. What's coming up sounds like... last year and the year before that. Where's the creativity? Where's the emotion? They've got the formula backward. It should be about the King and his people, not the King and his Coronation.

R441 More bullcocca. The Harkles have known for a very long time that they will never set foot on that balcony again unless Harry has led a coup and deposed his father and/or his brother.

They aren't shocked, they aren't surprised, and they've known since the Platinum Jubilee debacle that whilst they've landed a few punches, they've lost the war. They're out and they know it. They never expected to be on that balcony.

This is a formal State and religious occasion, not a big party. If they didn't get onto the balcony during the Jubly, they had to know they weren't getting on it after everything they did and said after the Jubly.

No apology, no balcony, no Trooping the Colour, no Grace and Favour residence, no Remembrance Day appearances, no future Jublees for Papa. If they attend, this is their last appearance of this kind looking like they're actually part of the royal scene, except possibly for Charles' funeral. And as William will be King by then, he'll make sure only Harry is invited, and that Meghan isn't there. And if Harry won't come without Meghan, tant pis, as they French say.

It's unbelievable how much pot-stirring the media are getting out of this bullshit.

R463 Andrew, like it or not, is still the King's brother and holds the title of both Prince and Duke. He lives a stone's throw from Windsor Castle, and he has two daughters (soon to be) three grandchildren who live in England. He's still a UK citizen and as a peer owes fealty to his brother. This is a religious service.

Harry has committed High Treason several times over. Andrew has disgraced the family escutcheon, but he hasn't actually committed a crime. Harry has, technically: trying to undermine a direct heir to the throne is still on the books as High Treason.

If the King isn't banishing his traitorous son from the service, banning Andrew is not in the cards. Either both or neither. As it is, Andrew has been completely marginalised. It's enough.

Harry has done his best. He produced his series which trashed his family. He did his interviews where he made it clear that he believed that his family were not racist and that his wife was wrong to insinuate that they were. He destroyed whatever privacy his father and brother could reasonably have expected to have, by discussing their private lives in excruciating detail. And he opened himself up to ridicule with his stories of necklaces and his todger and mummy’s cream.

Harry has made his cash, but what is his next move?

He has done his best to do his worst, but in 3 weeks King Charles will be crowned, with his wife by his side, as he has always wanted. Despite Harold’s attacks, they are both fairly popular and William and Kate are even more appreciated.

R478 You don't seem to understand that his mother and brother DID give Andrew the boot.

But preventing him from attending the highest religious celebration in the Christian calendar with his family is an absurd demand.

He's lost his HRH, he's been deprived of any public role despite pleas to Charles from both Andrew's daughters . . .

He's gotten the boot. If nothing will satisfy you but his head on a pike over Tower Gate and never to be seen in public with his blood family again, I'm afraid you're doomed to disappointment.

Meanwhile, Harry has committed an actual crime, for which, of course, he will never be prosecuted, and done absolutely everything he can to damage the institutions whose bennies he still takes hearty advantage of.

It is true that the polls show a lower opinion of Andrew than the Sussexes. But the polls for the Sussexes are hardly promising - in fact, what is usually, and correctly, pointed out, is that ONLY Andrew ranks lower than the Sussexes in the polls.

It's really a photo finish. Collectively, the three are the most hated and despised royals in Britain.

And in America, the polls for the Sussexes are STILL below that of William and Kate.

He's certainly loyal to Camilla. He respects her, he didn't respect Diana it seems she annoyed him.

I think the whole thing is quite interesting historically, regardless of whether I "like" or don't like any of the actors. It's the broad overview that's interesting.

There's no argument that Charles is coming in on the back foot. His moment may be at hand in practical terms, but on some other plane, his moment really has passed. I believe that from his catastrophically misconceived marriage has flowed outcomes that are reshaping the monarchy outside of social trends and shifts.

Had Charles made a happy marriage, I wonder if the Queen would have considered stepping aside for him 15 years earlier, citing infirmity and increasing frailty. But, apart from her own promise at eighteen, I believe that bringing Charles and Camilla in without giving Camilla time to earn at least the grudging respect of the public was a non-starter. It's taken nearly two decades for Camilla just to reach this point.

I also think Camilla Tominey's article in the Telegraph a couple of days ago, with a marked shift toward Harry (but not Meghan) suggests that she's gotten talking points from the Palace, a balloon raised to test the waters. Tominey's apparent softening of her previously ruthless reporting on both Sussexes seems capricious, at best. Most interestingly, Tominey leaves the Bitch Meghan flag fluttering in the breeze, but cunningly raises the Poor Harry banner.

The column contains some remarkably and unintentionally hilarious lines, one referring to Harry's "brilliance" as a soldier: a characterisation that no one, anywhere, has ever asserted, least of all the COs who had to babysit him. He couldn't even pass the major's exam.

The other interesting bit is that the column appears to want to highlight the Harry's Here, She's Not visual of the upcoming grand event. It's a not too subtle whisper that if only Harry would unload the Bitch, he might be welcomed back.

Whether that hints at some other whispers Tominey got from the Palace is anyone's guess.

But, at a minimum, the column also confirms something else which is visually symbolised by Meghan not attending the coronation (please, spare us the bilge about the four year old's birthday party): the only way Harry gets back in is without Meghan.

Also interesting is Charles' attempts to de-Christianise this ceremony, giving in to the impulse to universality that, ironically, undermines the very source of his kingship, which is based in a particularity: the relationship of Sovereign to People, like the marriage service between two people, is meant to symbolise the relationship between Christ and His Church.

Islam, by the way, utterly rejects the "knowability" of God/Allah, which is precisely what Christ represents: the Word being made Flesh and walking amongst us.

Having prayers read in Westminster Abbey as the King is anointed with holy oil by the Archbishop of Canterbury is another sort of betrayal, if one cares about that.

Islam is succeeding because it isn't interested in "universality" except the kind where every human on earth worships Allah. Islam clings to its particularity and, thus, is now the fastest growing religion in Britain and much of the rest of the West.

People don't join a club for "universality": they join it specifically for particularity.

I don't point it out as a believing Christian, but as someone watching a historic unravelling, as Charles undermines, I'm sure with the best intentions, the very foundation of his position.

I don't think there's any basis to think the Queen would have abdicated. She was the last of her generation and believed very deeply in the link between God and the monarch, as fanciful as it seems in 2023. More, it seems likely she was diagnosed with a terminal cancer at some point in the year before her death. She didn't even opt for a regency.

Charles said the same thing the day after her death: I am here until I die. On the flip side, Charles has said other things that didn't hold, like Princess Consort, so you never really know with him.

I should add that Charles' thinly veiled contempt for Parliament, in deciding to cut this or that MP to get the seating down, is also arrogant. The term "His Majesty's Government" is a courtesy, not a reality. The monarchy was reinstated by Parliament in 1689 after Cromwell, when William IV and Mary were brought in. The monarchy is Parliament's creature, not the other way round. When William IV was crowned, a gallery was built in the Abbey so that every signal member of Parliament could witness him signing the oath. Everyone knew the score that allowed the monarchy back in.

I once viewed Charles' disastrous choice of a wife as partly due to circumstances in which a somewhat desperate man of 32 under enormous pressure to marry a nice girl and breed was corralled by a by a very appealing and clever ingenue who realised very quickly how much star power she had, and used it to seduce the press and public to secure the job.

But watching him over the years, notably the Spider Memos to MPs in breach of his constitutional position years ago, for which he was lucky to escape accountability, and now watching him attempt to play to quite another gallery whilst displaying imperious arrogance to the gallery on whom the very structure of his position rests, I'm coming to the conclusion that Charles is an arrogant fool.

He has none of his mother's humility, or her understanding of the position of the monarchy vis-a-vis the Church and Parliament.

He's an idiot. Harry has gotten the worst of both his parent's personae: his mother's borderline fantasist and illiterate lability, and his father's petulant, thin-skinned arrogance.

The only thing that will stop the monarchy from disappearing after William, is Charles being raptured in a year or two, and the hugely popular, still youthful Waleses taking over.

[quote] I should add that Charles' thinly veiled contempt for Parliament, in deciding to cut this or that MP to get the seating down, is also arrogant.

Charles’s decision to cut down the number of MPs (and members of the peerage) in attendance at the coronation in an attempt to allow a broader sample of British society into the event is simply a recognition that Britain is a different place than it was in 1953. Contrary to much belief, we are not an especially deferential society any more, and MPs in particular simply do not attract the same esteem as the generation led by Churchill and Attlee did.

By reducing the number of MPs and peers he has knocked around 1500 people off the guest list (including the spouses/partners). In any case, as a simple matter of Realpolitik, Charles has little to fear from excluding MPs. According to current polls (and the number of MPs who have declared their intent to stand down), it’s unlikely that more than half of them will remain in Westminster by the end of next year anyway. The reality is that Charles is likely to be in office far longer than any of them. The monarchy is by far the most stable, unchanging part of the constitution, and is there to counterbalance the constant churn of he elected house.

The guest list was also wildly reduced, to the usual capacity of Westminster Abbey, about 2000, from the 8000 that got crammed in on bleachers in 1952.

Pa's own family is different then it was in 1953 and we've seen how adroitly he's dealt with that. He's a hide bound old git. Only hope for the Windsors is his boozing takes him off early but he'll probably linger well into his dotage.

Oliver Cromwell dies in 1658.

His son Richard is ousted as Lord Protector in 1660, and the Stuart monarchy is restored as Charles II officially takes the throne. In british history, this is called the Restoration.

Charles II dies in 1685; his brother James II takes the throne.

James II is ousted in 1688 because he is revealed to be Catholic and because his second wife wife Mary of Modena gives birth to a Catholic male heir. James II's Protestant eldest daughter by his first wife, Mary, Princess of Orange, assumes the throne alongside her husband, Prince William of Orange, as Mary II and William III: this is referred to in British history as the Glorious Revolution.

R525 The fact remains that it was Parliament that reinstituted the monarchy, not the monarchy that reinstituted itself. The monarchy serves at the pleasure of the elected representatives of the people, and the moment those polls reach 75% or so for abolishing the monarchy, it's gone.

The real "monarch" of this country is whoever is sitting in Downing Street. The entire farce of the monarch asking the leader of the new party in power, or reading the plans for "my government" at the opening of Parliament, the terms "HM's Prison" "HM's Government" "HMS" are all so much tinsel.

Yes, it's true the Abbey only seats 2,000. But speaking of more representatives of society: that is what those MPs bloody ARE.

It is precisely the MPs in the House who should be there for THAT reason.

Those are seats that should have been guaranteed and cut down the seats for his charity leaders and causes and Gulf State potentates and representatives of every religion on earth.

And, R525, the Stuart Restoration took place in 1660, but it was with William and Mary that Parliament asserted that the monarchy would be a Protestant one. William and Mary were brought in from The Netherlands to retrieve England from the Catholicism of James II. The Stuart Restoration was over.

The arrival of William and Mary in 1650 set the new era of the relationship between Parliament and the monarchy. That's why that gallery was built to ensure that every single elected MP from the HOUSE (the House of COMMONS, not the House of LORDS) could be present. It was a message to the people and a message to the monarchy.

Every one of those MPs should be there, and is owed a place there far more than the local imams, chief rabbis, Buddhist monks, and whomever else.

As you can see, I feel quite strongly about this as an Englishman.

Well, r535, “reinstated”, was surely the wrong word to use about William and Mary’s seizure of the throne. It literally means “to restore/return to a former state”, which is far more applicable to the Restoration of Charles II than to the accession of William and Mary, which was much more of a (Glorious) Revolution.

Regarding the attendees next month, I admire your respect for democratic, but feel absolutely no scruple in saying that very few people are going to miss the presence of Matt Hancock, Jeremy Corbyn, Mhairi Balck, or Priti Patel in Westminster Abbey. And if it frees up space to invite religious leaders of all faiths, as well as humanists, atheists sportsmen, artists, charity leaders and military leaders, then I am all for it.

I’m a Scotsman, and feel very little concern for politicians who are past their sell-by date.

This goes against every constitutional principle upon which the Uk constitution is based. The Prime Minister has immense power, but he is not a King. It is parliament which is sovereign. We have had Prime Ministers who seemed to believe that they were elected monarchs, but it never ends well.

The monarchy may be the weakest part of the Britain’s democracy, but the monarch’s right to decide on his/her own coronation is absolute. It is one of those few occasions where the Prime Minister may advise and warn, but may not instruct.

There is not formal UK "constitution" as Americans know it. Just a batch of codified "traditional" laws. Which explains why their judges still where those ridiculous powdered wigs. Apparently the only "constitutional rights" Brits have are the right to wear silly hats and dress in drag. Which they exercise to the full.

R540 That is why I put the word "monarch" in quotes .

Without Parliament's assent, William and Mary's "seizure" of the throne wouldn't have happened. It was a mutual agreement.

And it was also Parliament's will that the country be established as a Protestant entity, and to end the Catholicism that the Stuart Restoration carried on after QEI died without direct heirs.

R538 I know few want to see those on the list you mentioned (and for whom I share your contempt) in the seats.

But isn't that the point? Picking and choosing amongst which sectors of the electorate (those MPs WERE elected, remember) can share in witnessing the contract being enacted on 6 May between the monarch and the country belies the constant meme the monarchy puts out there: We are above politics because We represent everyone. We are the unifying arm of the ship of state.

Is not the MPs the real testament to British "diversity" - of opinion and values, not just skin colour ajnd surnames?

I view Charles' picking and choosing MPs to get the numbers down much as I view his stance that it's no big deal that the public know that he doesn't accept the deeply Christian basis of his kingship and the oath he is about to take, as appalling. Ditto his casual willingness to engage in a spot of blasphemy to prove his diversity creds. He's treating this event like a wedding party instead of the sacramental union it is supposed to be.

The Queen was the last of a breed who deeply believed what she said in 1953, that it was not about her, it was about the thing itself. Charles has none of mother's humility.

Charles only believes in his right to be King. That doesn't augur well for the monarchy, and whether that's a good thing or not can be saved for another thread.
