Royal Thread the Second- Tiaras Optional! ?

What did Adam faith have to do with Royalty? Good actor though.(& didnt he sing too?

And didn't he sing too?
That's how he started out
He became interested in financial affairs, launching The Money Channel too which is interesting as one of his first songs was "What do you want if you don't want money".
(why was he mentioned - have I missed something)

Ahh…pay attention at the back please.

Meghan’s children’s book ‘The Bench’ led to Sarah Ferguson’s various children’s books including ‘Budgie: the Little Helicopter’; which led to the 70s tv series ‘Budgie’, which starred Adam Faith as the eponymous antihero.

Actually, it’s not that convoluted after all!

6 degrees of separation is rearing its head. Next thing someone will say Kevin Bacon!

Did he sell them a mobile then or a cell in Megs place.

Sorry, it's been a busy day

ps it was the and didn't he sing too which alerted me!!

I bought his records with my pocket money.

Poor Me- www.youtube.com/watch?v=ELA3pZ3qo74
Brought back memories of trying to learn how to jive-and failing!

Back to Harry (soz)
His book is now going to run to four volumes!
The last of which (I bet that it won’t be; the last, that is) will not be released until after the Queen’s death (nice)

I’ll have to be careful here because (apparently) ‘we’re not in the business of discussing’ how long senior members of the RF will live

trisher I’ve got a photo of DH in his youth (taken in a Skeggie pub with his mates) and he looks justlike that!

Wow! FC you obviously can pick'em!!!

Royals derived a fortune from their investments in slavery that was handed down from royal to royal no hereditary tax.

I wonder how much the embarrassing wealth the queen succeeded in being kept hidden from public she had accumulated

The Palace Letters a book by professor Jenny published It documents the queen's role in the 1975 Australian dismissal crisis and subsequent fight to keep official records hidden.

Well her mother left her over £70 million some of it in trust for W&H, but left to HM so there was no inheritance tax. She'd lived a well subsidised lifestyle, so some of that money should have come back to us. www.theguardian.com/uk/2002/apr/03/queenmother.monarchy2
But of course the RF are so caring and do so many good works they just don't pay tax like the rest of us.

It was some thirty years later that we got together - I missed his prime!

FC if your DH looked like that, Wow!
My mum said my DH looked like this photo of Bob Monkhouse when he was younger. He doesn’t now!

Thanks trisher So much the Royals are allowed to get away with and spend public money freely.

Aw and FC I had such a lovely picture in my head of him in his suit and winkle pickers and you with your full skirt and white stilletos

I think the RF will be very upset about the latest revelation that Harry has signed a deal for four books. What has he got to say that it will fill four books? Also the disclosure that one will not be published until after the Queen’s death will be extremely disturbing for them. Surely Harry and his family are not that interesting!

A lot of that is fake news maddyone.

Especially the bit about the publication being after the Queen has gone. And one of the books is going to be about about wellness ()

We'll believe all sorts of things that reinforce our prejudices, I find.

I really hope you’re right Allegrias. I really hope it is false news.
I had heard that Meghan is going to write one of the books, about wellness, whatever that is (that makes me sound like Prince Charles )

As I said somewhere else, the whole business is distasteful. Both for Harry and Meghan and for the press and public who want to read whatever revelations Harry has to feed them.

It’s fake news because they say it’s fake news ? We are to believe what they say ?

trisher ah, that’s lovely, thank you
However, I wasn’t even a twinkle in my father’s eye in the sixties! DH is 26 years my senior
When I was teenager I was obsessed with all things 1960s, especially kitchen sink dramas.
I based much of my ‘look’ on Jean Shrimpton
I know more about the popular culture of the time than he does!
I was obviously born in the wrong era!
I often wonder how our life together would have been if we’d met at the same age…

No Annie, I know you don't believe it.

All they say is lies, they have been plotting this since Meghan was 12 years old and we'll all know the truth when she finally gets her dream to be President of the World.

OMG FC isn't it funny how you don't know how old anyone is on GN and then you suddenly realise someone is years younger than you and they were a babe in arms when you were out clubbing!!!
