I am Rose Hanbury, and it was you.
Thought Imogen Poots is Rose Hanbury
Horrific, but a sure sign of the times when even beloved royals must tighten their belts/purse strings etc.
Good on you, Kate! We're all in it together!

You can't say lavatory without saying tory.
Because she's the Princess of Wales?

No, because of the chance she will be replaced by someone called Rose.

So many particulars. So many questions.
Apparently pictures of her lounging reached china and people have noticed with some anger that she's lounging on looted qing era fine furniture which the sasoon family somehow acquired while selling opium. Naturally, people are not happy with the looting aristos.

As royal conspiracies spread, social media sleuths think the Marchioness of Cholmondeley’s home contains stolen Chinese artifacts.

Always contend that Han concern for the looting of the pleasure palace of the hated Manchu dynasty is a little confused, makes for fun arguments.Apparently pictures of her lounging reached china and people have noticed with some anger that she's lounging on looted qing era fine furniture which the sasoon family somehow acquired while selling opium.

I don’t understand that argument. All the best stuff in any country would have been made for hated oppressors. It’s still legitimately part of the national patrimony.

Of course; more the notion that the burning and theft were some unique and terrible insult when the Nian and Taiping were hoping and attempting to do something similar.

All this aristocracy has really got to stop.
Surely in the 21st century we should be using the gender-neutral term Martian.

Definitely stealing that.

How do I change this 'custom title' thing then?

Mad revisionism : it wasn’t looted; it was brought by drug dealers with the proceeds of their illegal selling of life threatening drugs.

I don't want to be a grammar pedant, but surely that should have been "Goodbye, England's risen"? I always assumed that it was a song addressed to the ruling class at a time of revolution.

Stay Alive in '25
I've just had the thought that if Ms. Midleton really had died at the hands of the heir to the throne of England (Cry God! Harry! and St. George!) they would have already found some unfortunate flunkey on whom to pin the crime. Thus preserving for a few more centuries the ancient liberties etc., etc.

Highly unlikely that a comdities traders would go about nicking stuff. Far more likely a local smack head (there were a lot of them about in China at that time for some reason) pilfered it to finance their next fix....Apparently pictures of her lounging reached china and people have noticed with some anger that she's lounging on looted qing era fine furniture which the sasoon family somehow acquired while selling opium.

This is definitely that stage in any story which has run a certain speed for weeks.
