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! ??

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

Lucca Tue 13-Jul-21 11:52:41

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

FannyCornforth Tue 13-Jul-21 11:55:05

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.

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

Blossoming Tue 13-Jul-21 12:33:49

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.

But most importantly, will we be allowed to learn 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.

Mollygo Tue 13-Jul-21 16:21:15

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

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

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

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

Lucca Tue 13-Jul-21 16:56:19

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

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

I don’t think speculating is allowed in GNWorld.

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?

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?

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

Perish the thought.

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

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

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 21:48:15

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 21:55:46

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

merlotgran Tue 13-Jul-21 23:00:07

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

Non fiction?? grin

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

Alegrias1 Wed 14-Jul-21 08:15:03

grin Fanny

It was certainly better than watching tv that weekend.

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,

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 10:03:05

It’s what celebrities do
