King Charles III's time is up

[Sasaferrato]

Seemingly not the case; you still appear to be very exercised about her role, motives and effect on the anachronistic edifice.

If you dig back, you will find that I was very much in favour when she first arrived on the scene, however, subsequent actions on her part have changed my view.

Trashing your family in public is not a good look, neither is making statements which you later have to admit were accurate.

Anyway, an irrelevance.

 

[Sasaferrato]

Mate guess what some remarks of Kate's were before ever she wed frog ugly prince.

There's no love there.

One can only comment on what one sees, and they seem happy enough, but who knows?

[Sasaferrato]

For clarity, I favour monarch over president, it is what I've known all my life. The late Queen was a terrific head of state. I can't really say I feel the same about the heirs and successors.

I'm old, with old world views on a lot of things, but I'll be gone relatively soon. It is the next generations who will make the change. The polling shows that the youngsters are less in favour of a monarchy. If a change is made, I suspect the driver will not be our grandchildren, but their children.

Although I favour monarchy, I'm not fanatical about it. Were there to be a referendum tomorrow, I wouldn't vote. The old should not tie the hands of the young.

You actually said you'd never heard of her "until she got in tow with the idiot."

 

[Sasaferrato]

Are you a little slow tonight? When she got in tow with the idiot was when I heard of her. Harry is a s thick as mince, so much so he couldn't even do the 'History of art' type of degree.

As I said, dig back on here, you will find that I thought she could be a breath of fresh air, and by doing her bit, modernise the monarchy. Then it all went very sour.

Anyway, as I said, an irrelevance.

An "irrelevance" that you're still engaging with and arguing about?

If you say so. You seem to know considerably more about the POW's marriage than I do, but really the state of their marriage is of little concern to me.

Edited to add:

If you had told me as a boy that three of the Queen's children would divorce, I don't think I would have believed you.

the POW

I’d have more respect for him if he tried to escape.

 

[Sasaferrato]

Less letters to type. You know I'm terminally indolent.

 

[Sue]

If the republican element of the country can gain the momentum for a referendum to be held, and win it, then we will be a republic.

Bloody liberals. I prefer a more historic approach. If it was good enough for Charles I...

(Forgetting sbout Charles II etc for the moment... )

That’s making a fuss and airing your family baggage in public*


*the baggage that is your uncle being a corrupt pedo isn’t aired just a couple of brothers wives fighting cos that’s the important bit

Andrew is quite unbelievable, he really is. He seems to think he has a way back into public life, which is as deluded as it is absurd.

 

[krtek a houby]

They're all unbelievable, tbf

It's an outdated racist imperial remnant and should be consigned to the dustbin of history like smallpox, feudalism and green shield stamps.

Palace considering all options after King Charles and Kate named in Archie 'skin colour' row

When the unsubstantiated allegation first surfaced two years ago, the palace described it as fiction. The claims resurfaced this week after the names were published in a Dutch translation of a new book by Omid Scobie.

They just need to get on twitter and start calling people paedophiles....oh, hang on...maybe they can't do that?

Not if they have a watertight alibi like eating at pizza express or not sweating.

Royals and race: inquiry under way into naming of Charles and Catherine in new book

Dutch version of book pulped after king and duchess named as speculating about skin colour of Harry and Meghan’s son, in pages on ‘unconscious bias’

Andrew is quite unbelievable, he really is. He seems to think he has a way back into public life, which is as deluded as it is absurd.

Woman who marries into the Royal Family and subsequently denounces perfectly credible- and backed up by her Royal Family member husband- allegations of bullying, mistreatment and bigoted behavour towards her at the hand of some members of the Royal Family and its machinery = a nobody 'gold digger' with no moral values who will leave her husband the moment his bank account balance runs low.

Meanwhile, disgusting piece of shit, compulsive liar, adulterer, and peadophile abuser of trafficked minors Royal Family member, who has brought the Royal Family into far more serious disrepute than anything Meghan or Harry have ever said = "quite unbelievable".

Seriously Sas, have a fucking word with yourself already.

What might a non-sour modernisation of the monarchy have looked like, in your eyes?

 

[souljacker]

Fuck the lot of these cunts.

 

[Puddy_Tat]

that's certainly easier than deciding whether you're on team william or team harry

team fuck the lot of them

Presumably senior members of the Royal Family being reprimanded for sleeping with trafficked underage escorts. Back in the day, such acts would have gone completely unacknowledged by Buckingham Palace, never mind reprimanded in any way. But look at poor Andrew now. He’s had a few privileges removed and excluded from sitting at the top table at some official events. If that doesn’t show how ethical and modern the British monarchy has become, I don’t know what would.

 

[Humberto]

Things are that shit that they're probably of some use to us right now.

 

[Humberto]

Same with the ABoC and the Vatican.

 

[Lord Camomile]

The late Queen was a terrific head of state. I can't really say I feel the same about the heirs and successors.

Would it not be nice if that made some kind of difference?

Rather than just "oh well, he came out first, so nothing we can do about it"?

 

[T & P]

Of course. I’m in neither. But parasitic privileged twats any of them might be, every decent person should be able to at least call out unacceptable treatment of any individual even if they don’t like them at all in general. Never mind the rank hypocrisy about how a certain member of that family is judged by much of the mainstream media and celebrity commentators compared with other royals whose behaviour is at least as questionable.

We’ve even descended to the level of a woman being accused by supposedly professional press organisations of eating planet-destroying plants (avocados), with those very same newspapers having previously published an image of the other princess eating same produce and being commented as a wise move. Or the ever evil Meghan being photographed entering a gala event with her hands covering her pregnancy bump and it being actually described as a vain, possibly worrisome psychological trait. And again, the same newspaper having previously published an almost identical pic of saintly Kate doing the same and being lauded as the sign of a caring mother-to-be. And that shit doesn’t even get pulled up by the supposedly fair Press Complaints Commission.

Anyone is free to dislike Harry and Meghan as much as they like, but only a complete cunt could fail to see fault with how she’s been treated by much of the media. Or by being demonised by the Morgans and Clarksons of this world and dozens of other regular columnists in the four best selling papers for basically having revealed something that makes the Royal Family look flawed.

For clarity, I favour monarch over president, it is what I've known all my life. The late Queen was a terrific head of state. I can't really say I feel the same about the heirs and successors.

I'm old, with old world views on a lot of things, but I'll be gone relatively soon. It is the next generations who will make the change. The polling shows that the youngsters are less in favour of a monarchy. If a change is made, I suspect the driver will not be our grandchildren, but their children.

Although I favour monarchy, I'm not fanatical about it. Were there to be a referendum tomorrow, I wouldn't vote. The old should not tie the hands of the young.

Age and "old world views" has bugger all to do with it. I remember talking to family members born in the 1920s who openly thought the idea of monarchy was an abomination. It all depends on how cap-doffing, forelock-tugging and servile you want to be.

"The late Queen was a terrific head of state." Not when it came to "loyalists" burning Catholics out of their homes in Belfast. She said nothing about that.

That does not seem like a particularly bad 'admission' - 'I admit it, I was right all along'
