Royal Thread the Second- Tiaras Optional! ?

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’.

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

I might be

I hope you are Fanny.

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

?

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

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

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.

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

Fanny

Surely not!

?

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

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.

Why on earth was Annie’s post deleted ?

I think I can remember what it was, perfectly innocent

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

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

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

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.

Unbelievable
What a load of nonsensical waffle

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.”

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

Can’t believe somebody would report any of these comments

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 . . .

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