Welcome to Thread II!

We companionably mused, gossiped and waffled about Royalty, and vaguely related things for 1000 posts!

Starting with names; and ending on them them…
and in between covered everything from Adam Faith to Scottish Country Dancing!

So, as before, God Bless this Ship and All who Sail in her! ??

I would like a diamond encrusted tin hat if they are being distributed, perhaps a garnet or two.

So are you House of Lancaster then?

trisher Wed 14-Jul-21 11:24:43

LauraNorder do you have a favoured designer or are you happy with the traditional with a bit of bling added?

I see old trenches are being re-dug and occupied and barbed wire strung along the front line. Ditch the tiara and don your tin hat old battles are about to be re-fought.

It's not "old" trenches, "old" battles. The discussion has been moved on by merlotgran's post about the upcoming award. It's all self perpetuating. I admire their tenacity and stamina.

That may be so Ellianne but the posts won't change. It's so predictable-who will claim what.

Ellianne. It’s ‘self serving’

So in what way is that "serving" Annie? I'm confused, it seems the opposite.

Anniebach Wed 14-Jul-21 10:03:05

It’s what celebrities do

Apparently, Harry and Meghan's interview with Oprah has been nominated for an Emmy award for 'Outstanding, Hosted Non-fiction Series'

Non fiction?? grin

Surely all this award stuff here, there and everywhere just goes to show that Harry and Meghan are doing all this for their own gratification? Awards breed popularity which is what they crave.

Anniebach Wed 14-Jul-21 09:20:17

Outstanding, non fiction ?

I will telephone the council now, not one fairy at the bottom
of my garden,

It was certainly better than watching tv that weekend.

I went to a school reunion that day. It was fun.

Was it?! shock
I can't think of many things which would be worse

Alegrias1 I understand my comments on Diana troubles you,
I doubt no one can forget the outpourings of grief and passion
from her devotees when she died.

Alegrias1 Tue 13-Jul-21 21:09:58

Example - Meg said she wasn’t asked if she was ok. A criticism.

I know Anniebach, that you are consumed by aversion to this woman so there's no point in telling you how wrong you've got this. The fact that you keep bringing it up is, I suppose, an indication of how important you think it is.

But I'm posting this link in the hope that others who are maybe more fair minded will watch this and realise it wasn't Meghan "criticising". About 1:30 in.

Regards, a Diana devotee and Meghan maniac hmm (apparently)

Anniebach Tue 13-Jul-21 18:18:05

Confusion here, it’s the Sussexes who criticise, this causes response to her criticism.

Example - Meg said she wasn’t asked if she was ok. A criticism.

Her uncle said in an interview- ‘she didn’t ask if her father was
ok’, not a criticism but a response to her criticism

eazybee Tue 13-Jul-21 18:05:34

Some kind of veiled criticism of the Sussexes by any chance ?

Perish the thought.

Ellianne Tue 13-Jul-21 18:02:21

It seems Eugenie is best friends with Harry's ex, but choosing her as godmother might not be a good move?

Calendargirl Tue 13-Jul-21 17:55:19

I think Eugenie will be quite willing to divulge the names of the godparents.

Beatrice and Jack’s brother for starters?

Blossoming Tue 13-Jul-21 17:53:25

I don’t think speculating is allowed in GNWorld.

Lucca Tue 13-Jul-21 16:53:32

eazybee

But most importantly, will we be allowed to learn the names of the godparents?

I’m bemused. Why is it important ? Have I missed something ?

Ellianne Tue 13-Jul-21 16:28:33

Maybe Robbie Williams? He'd be a fun godfather!
