Royal Chat - All Welcome! ?

I totally agree Whatdayisit
I think that being able to 'live your authentic life' is either very, very lucky; or a massive luxury, available only to those blessed with good health and pots of money

An authentic life could be making the best of what you have, enjoying the things that go well and having a moan when things go wrong, whilst still keeping going.
Is authentic going to be the new buzz word?
Do you authentically think so?

Molly it's actually been around as a hippy dippy thing for decades.
I first heard it referred to in the book 'Simple Abundance' by Sarah Ban Breathnack ,which must have been around for thirty years or so

Must I??

I think Charles and Camilla are well suited. He seems very happy.

My point was that I find all this debate about queen consorts, dukes, princes etc a bit weird in 2021. That’s all.

The Diana debate will never die down because she is an historic personage,and a divisive one, during her lifetime and following her death. Exactly as has happened to Anne Boleyn, Mary, Queen of Scots, Marie Antoinette, Empress Elizabeth of Austria and Tsarina Alexandra, to name but a few.
As time passes more verifiable evidence will become available, from state papers to personal, private recollections and although recollections may vary serious books will be written that attempt to examine all the existing evidence and draw balanced conclusions. But not until after Harry's death, I would think, as he does have an understandably skewed view of his mother, developed after her tragic death and
exploited recently by his wife.

Diana would have been 60 tomorrow. Hard to imagine her as a grandmother and mother in law.

I rhink she would have been a great grandmother.

rhink think

She really adored children, didn't she.
Remember that photo of her holding a child, and her see through skirt?
Happy 60th birthday Lady Di. ?

For some stupid reason this thread doesn't pop up in active threads.
It's quite frustrating. Grrr...

Yes, Fanny, some of us prefer children to adults and I think Diana was like that. I'm sure she would have been a wonderful grandma.
I notice Harry made a surprise (not!) visit to a children's event yesterday, so maybe he feels the same about being around youngsters.

I hope the unveiling today of the statue will be strictly private,
no cameras .

Annie! You must be magic!
The thread is now in Active!

I wonder when we shall see what it looks like?

Good morning, btw, Ellianne and Annie

Good morning Fanny

It was said on the news KP will be open to the public tomorrow
as usual so perhaps we will see it tomorrow, without her family
standing near it.

There will be a live camera feed to the press, so expect pictures before tomorrow AnnieBach
Does it matter if a thread is active Fanny? I don’t really understand.

Thanks Jacky
Only because if it doesn't show up, noone, apart from those 'on' the thread know that the thread exists, and it can go quite a while before anyone comments.

It's not just me that it 'bothers', btw, Maw and others have started threads in site stuff about other threads going 'missing'

I suppose if it’s not ‘active’ it just dies, but if interested in a subject you can always search for it, that’s what I do.

I made them disappear. I’m an Internet Witch

Blossoming??‍♂️

What I'm trying to say is that the Active List thing isn't working properly.
There is a problem with it.
Threads that are being posted on are not showing up.
It's not just me!

I use the ‘last hour’ one, the active list is a bit of a jumble. I presume it’s looking at number of posts within a time interval.
