Royal Chat - All Welcome! ?

He is Colonel of the Scots Guards.

Yes, wasn't Harry supposed to take over from the Duke of Kent?
upright, dignified and stalwart and performed his duties as one would expect

Well done to the Duke of Kent, I saw him a while ago and despite his health problems, he was upright, dignified and stalwart and performed his duties as one would expect of a member of the RF.

Sorry Merlotgran.

HM's cousin, Prince Michael of Kent, is attending The Trooping of the Colour with her today at Windsor.
I think she is remarkable and dedicated and the reason we still have a RF.
I feel Prince William will be the one who is able to muster up the long term support to keep it going. They serve a purpose in my opinion. We were brought up to be anti-monarchy but The Queen has done above and beyond her job.

It’s the Duke of Kent who is accompanying the Queen today. He is Colonel of the Scots Guards.

Yes Calendargirl, it was a reception.

Apologies, it wasn’t a dinner the Queen was hosting, it was, well I’m not sure what it was, but it wasn’t a dinner.

The whole of the institution is under a heck of a lot of strain.
William must be dealing with a lot of stress.

Just watched the video of the Queen getting the Prince Phillip Rose I thought the man that planted it looked odd doing it in a suit! What did stand out is how on her own the Queen looks with out her hubby by her side I just think its sad.

The Queen has carried out quite a number of solo engagements since Prince Philip retired, so I expect she has become used to it, but yes, she must miss him.

I’m sure at any big event, such as the reception tonight in Cornwall, she will always have the support of family members.

Maddyone she really, really is

It’s just been on BBC news that the Queen is going (flying?) down to Cornwall tonight to host the dinner for the G7 delegates and their other halves. Then tomorrow it’s the Trooping of the Colour. She is an amazing lady for her age. My mother is 93 but couldn’t do half the things the Queen does. I know she’s well looked after but she is still remarkable for her age.

That means Trooping of the Colour, doesn’t it? A grand spectacle. I wonder what changes, if any, will be made this year.

Ah yes, what a life she has had.
HM realised the privileges, and also the responsibilities.

I hope so!

Does she get two lots of presents?

Fanny Cornforth - HM's official birthday tomorrow.

So come on this thread to pick on posters on the other thread ?

I was only saying it lightheartedly. It seems the claws are out this week that is all i can say. Anything posted can be taken out of context.

When I saw ‘Royal Rewilding’ I thought for one brief glorious moment the Royal Family were to be released into the wild.

So did I! Forced to fend for themselves!
Foraging amongst the hedgerows!

I bet they'd prefer that than having to get dressed up and perform royal duties.

Nettle soup anyone? A beaming Prince Charles gets a lesson in foraging from TV chef Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall

Who was FannyCornforth “picking on”? Just by the way ?

Annie I'm not 'picking on' anyone
I could continue, but I'm not going to be dragged in

Phew i am glad to get back on the royal chat thread i feel like you need a suit of armour on the Lillibet thread!

Thank you Whatdayisit
I'm absolutely sick to death that so many posters think that absolutely everything has to be turned into a flipping argument.
'Pick a side! Pick a side!'
