Does Prince Edward have a right to be in uniform

Annie It doesn't matter if paddyanne takes photos of Royals then shows her dislike of them everyone is entitled to their opinion It's a job it brings in money RF don't have to worry where there money come from We all sometimes have to do jobs we might find distasteful but get on and it and do a good job of it.

The Queen hands out medals to her family Its called nepotism

Edward tried to get into the media years ago, so H and M are doing nothing new. His attempt sunk like a stone I recall.

The RF are just a centuries old soap opera now more like the Kardashians, dressing up in lavish outfits, posing for photos, and throwing a few crumbs of info to the hungry masses who lap it up. There is no point to them other than as decorations.

Clearly, paddyanne you should have gifted the photographs as it is beyond the pale to ask the RF to pay for anything. I think that may be the reason it is mentioned so often.

I am totally sick of ANNiE bringing up my past Business life ..play the ball annie not the player .I guess you've never had to take a job you didn't want to to pay your bills!!! If this is mentioned here again I will report you

Yes I keep wondering why it is brought up so often, And it is a personal issue anyway

paddyanne you spoke of taking photographs of the royals, why report me ? I am only repeating what you said and asked today because you said the royals didn’t come by their wealth
honestly,

To answer your question, I have never worked for anyone I believed to come by their money dishonestly

Sarcasm Alegries1 ? I didn’t expect anything different from you

What about Monaco, are they not royal?
I know they are only Serene Highness, as opposed to HRH, but thought the House of Grimaldi was a pretty old one.

Did paddyanne take pictures of the Royals? Gosh, why has nobody mentioned that before?

^sarcasm alert^

Surely this should be mentioned more often ?

This is all very well, but what about Meghan and Harry? I think we need to talk about them now.

He does have a moral right to wear them. He has honorary titles and the medals are in relation to those, They are not and should not be confused with medals given to those due to their time in military action.

So when you took photographs of the RF did you give them away for free, or were you paid Paddyanne? Would you be glad to see the end of the RF if you were still taking their photo's and they were the only ones you were being paid for?

The Belgian Royal Family still seem to maintain the trappings of royalty. They don’t live in the Palace in Brussels any longer, it is only used for state ceremonial, but their current residence on the outskirts of the city - the Castle of Laeken - is hardly a two up two down. Can’t see them riding round on bicycles either, though I know the Dutch royal family have been known to!

So are European Sovereigns not Royal then?

They are, but they don’t act like ours, probably because our Queen sticks so closely to the rules that she followed as ‘a gal’ , sadly PC will want to continue to be waited on hand foot and finger (as my Mum would have said) so I can’t see him wanting to change the status quo any time soon.
maybe if we turned our RF all upside down we would find an Expiry Date on them ? Hopefully 2022 or sooner.

Did nobody notice Alegrias1 smiley? ?

Me too silverlining48

Heard on the radio this morning that we are the only country with a royal family. The rest of Europe ditched that many years ago. The european sovereigns ride round on bikes or take the bus. I rather like that.

It was sarcasm BlueBelle

Oh alegrias let it drop for crying out loud

No he shouldn’t be dressing up, it’s a total joke he served a matter of a few months and it’s an insult to all uniformed men and women The Royals really are just a very very expensive theatrical group

Yes, why has Edward appeared on a thread again?

Is he upset about lack of attention, what with H&M dominating the airways?

There are threads about them

This is all very well, but what about Meghan and Harry? I think we need to talk about them now.

Anniebach

paddyanne you took payment to photograph the royals

Really!?
