Royal Thread the Second- Tiaras Optional! ?

Forestflame I like that idea. I’m off to Google the 3 stones I deserve.??

Talking of gemstones further upthread. I was told that you have 3 birthstones, one each for the month, day if the week and the hour that you are born. Opals are regarded as unlucky because they are very delicate and fracture easily, making them tricky for jewellers to work with.

Ouch FC! Hope you didn’t do any lasting damage.

Honestly Calendargirl I'm certainly not feeling very youthful at the moment!
You lot could run rings around me.
On Saturday I fell over with such gusto it would make F*** H**** green with envy

Bragging again Fanny about how youthful you are, compared to us old codgers!

?

I hope you are Fanny.

Yeah, let’s have a sweepstake. Unfortunately none of us will be here to claim the winnings.

I might be

Charles will be 73 in November. Assuming he becomes a king in the next 5 years or so, he could still be reigning in about 20 years time, making William nearer 60.

By that time, their own children will be adults, which is probably what W&C would prefer, allowing them to bring their families up relatively ‘normally’.

I don’t gamble either Annie, I was just having a joke.
Anyway, judging by his relatives, I think Charles could well reign for a good twenty years or more. I’m not sure I’ll still be here to see William crowned as that would probably require me to live at least another 25 years. I’m 68, it’s probably unlikely.

Its the nature of inherited monarchy Anniebach.

Actually, I never bet on anything, I hate gambling. But I do have a sense of humour.

Nooo, we can’t bet on when people will die ?

Thanks Alegrias
But that means Charles will be king until he is 101!

Granny lived to 102, dad to 99. 101 is eminently possible, I would think!

Ok, I'm going for William 2032

Thanks Alegrias

William, 2050.

George, 2080

Shall we have a sweepstake?

How long is a piece of string !

My maths is appalling.
Can someone give an approximate ballpark figure of when William and George may become king please?

We only get rubbish avocados here, FannyCornforth.

The blooming things in actuality ever 'ripe and ready', and if they are, it's within a time slot of approximately 40 minutes

Lucca’s right. Unfortunately we’ll never know. Que sera sera.

I realise that I have just referred to our future King and his wife in terms of avocados

Avocados are not picked when they are absolutely ripe and just ready.

Just saying.

But would William and Catherine want it right now?
I doubt it.

If only we had a way of deciding who was going to be HoS
