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! ??

Why do we need to know the names of the godparents?

Alegrias1 Tue 13-Jul-21 16:19:22

I can see the headlines now...

Fury as nice posh girl doesn't tell us the names of her child's godparents

I think I'll live.

eazybee Tue 13-Jul-21 16:18:01

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

It’s being reported that the christening of Princess Eugenie’s son August has had to be postponed as one of the guests is having to self isolate.

eazybee Tue 13-Jul-21 12:27:00

Well, it used to be treason to speculate on the death of the monarch so perhaps it is self-preservation?

Hello Annie
Good to see you.
What a silly business. LilyGransnet clearly didn't read the preceding and following comments.

And you'll rarely see a sensible justification, merely vague fluff about 'kindness' and 'the spirit'.

When my DoE comments were deleted, I mentioned that the site was full of 'rumour and supposition' (and indeed far, far worse).

The management replied that I should report any such comments!
I had half a mind to do so, that would have given them something to do!
It would have taken them all week to sift through the offending posts.

Looks that way Annie. Most odd as you asked just one question which was described as “discussing”

Anniebach Tue 13-Jul-21 11:31:29

So we mustn’t speak of the possibilities which would make
Charlotte 3rd in line to the throne ?

This is a question

Blossoming Tue 13-Jul-21 10:36:58

Think someone had their finger stuck on the ‘report’ button yesterday! The football thread has a few gaps too.

Mollygo Tue 13-Jul-21 08:24:15

Didn’t see the original comment, but unless you’re going gender neutral, ‘it will be short lived’ can only refer to the reign, not the person.
Hey ho! With no excitement after the football . . .

Lucca Tue 13-Jul-21 08:19:22

Can’t believe somebody would report any of these comments

FannyCornforth Tue 13-Jul-21 07:35:15

Just to clarify, by 'short lived' I was referring to the longevity of George's reign
And, to repeat what Lucca said; there was no discussion, 'in this way' or otherwise hmm

Hi folks

We're not in the business of discussing the life expectancy of a child in this way - it's just not in the spirit.

In which case why was this comment left, as it was the one which promoted Annie’s question !

“ I've got a long held theory / prediction about Prince George.

I don't think that he will be king, or if he is, it will be short lived.”

FannyCornforth Tue 13-Jul-21 01:36:47

Unbelievable
What a load of nonsensical waffle

Lucca Mon 12-Jul-21 22:25:57

Oh for heavens sake nobody was “discussing” the life expectancy of anyone. Annie was just asking for clarification of what a previous poster had said about thinking George might not be king.

Don’t look at me, I’ve been busy cleaning my second best tiara with a sable paintbrush.

Alegrias1 Mon 12-Jul-21 19:32:23

What have you all been doing while I've been cooking dinner? Sorry I missed it... grin

Blossoming Mon 12-Jul-21 18:16:16

I was quite surprised to see two deleted posts, as this thread ambles along quite amiably as a rule.

Lucca Mon 12-Jul-21 18:10:23

I think I can remember what it was, perfectly innocent

Lucca Mon 12-Jul-21 18:09:55

Why on earth was Annie’s post deleted ?

Calendargirl Mon 12-Jul-21 18:00:45

I bet Prince Harry wished he had been sitting in the Royal Box at Wembley last night, watching the footie, instead of having to view it in his no doubt splendid cinema room in California, with Meg.

Must have given him a pang when the National Anthem was played.

Fanny

Surely not!

?

Hope you’re ok though. Shows it’s not just the oldies who ‘have a fall’.
