Royal Thread the Second- Tiaras Optional! ?

Ah, I see now it says removed at poster’s request Callistemin. My imagination was running riot!

It is a beautiful , she takes excellent photographs

Catherine has released a beautiful photograph of Charlotte holding a butterfly to encourage people to take part in the great butterfly count.

Oh, no, I asked for it to be removed, Blossoming!

It linked to something to do with Samsung Tablets and how to problem solve, not to a Google page of photos of palaces, very odd.

Callistemon

I thought I'd posted a link to pictures of presidential palaces but the link went somewhere else.
Apologies.

The mind boggles! You posted a link to something so inappropriate that Gransnet removed it? I wanna know what it was

NZ is just across the ditch from me and I’d say they had a very luck escape indeed - I think they have enough jugglers!

Meghans 40x40 initiative - I bet her and those friends she’s signed up aren’t going to be mentoring anyone in the real world! It’s all just fluff, fakery and show!

DH did that too!

maddyone I think that is absolutely spot-on.
I don't think that New Zealanders would have much truck with the fake Hollywood glitz that they seem to need.

My grandchildren are learning to do that already Ellianne.

I think Harry performed the Maori Haka once. Does that count? Better than his juggling balls!

I’ve just read the article that JaxJacky linked to.
Apparently M&H considered living in NZ because they were ‘impressed by the access to the outdoors’.

I think Meghan and Harry would have hated living in New Zealand. Correct, there’s a lot of absolutely beautiful outdoor spaces and lots of outdoor activities. I visited just pre pandemic and my daughter and her family have gone to live and work there for two years as they’d had enough of working in the NHS during this pandemic, and they wanted their children to be able to get back to their normal outdoor activities and life style. Whilst NZ suits my daughter and her family, it is geographically way out of the normal run of things with NZ being so cut off from most of the world. I cannot imagine there could ever be enough exposure for Meghan and Harry there, they would not be important enough nor able to engage in self seeking behaviour, in particular since NZ is closed at the moment. No popping backwards and forwards to the UK with five days quarantine in your cousin’s home, as Harry did twice recently. And of course, crucially important, no mega million deals with LA based Spotify or Netflix. They weren’t even satisfied with Canada, no way would they have been satisfied with New Zealand.

N.Z. had a lucky escape.

Not so much money to be made there though. New Zealanders sensibly appreciate a more down to earth existence.
Beautiful scenery!

If the nephew of Charles tells him ‘ someone wants to donate to your charities ‘ so Charles meets the donor to thank them ,
this is a crime ?

And Grany thank you for the update

I don’t know what happened with my emoji there

It's an odd premise to say we cant debate the role of a president because we have a monarchy, we have a conservative government, I presume we are permitted to debate alternatives.

Galaxy you are correct of course. It was a nonsensical thing to say.

Thanks Ellianne - I’d never heard of A & D until yesterday.
And we’re onto dancing again!
?‍♀️
Re Meghan and its derivatives, isn’t there a massive shark called a Meg? (Megalotron or something)

Mollygo

I now have this lovely image of you en pointe! What was your favourite ballet?

Too many to mention Mollygo. The Nutcracker every Christmas, but maybe Giselle otherwise.

Haven’t heard much about the billboards recently

On another topic, Fergie is just a silly girl, apparently, and M&H are evil incarnate.

Who knew?

There are billboards 12 with a further 15 and September Wales London and other parts of the country.

New petition. Ban royal lobbying and legal exemptions. actionstorm.org/p
I agree don't you lobbying ministers and queen's consent to change legislation Public not meant to know.

And Charles

Allegations of ‘cash for access’ to Prince Charles must be investigated. His links to the Tory party chair & to major Tory donors raise disturbing questions that have to be answered ow.ly/CRyx50FJHOO FOLLOW

Sorry Porselli .... spell it correctly please!

Don't worry Fanny. The same thing is happening on the other royal thread regards spelling ... megga, mega or even Meg!
I used to buy my ballet shoes from A & D, but my pointes were handmade by an Italian craftsman, Porcelli, I think in Soho.

eazybee

We don't need to decide on the role of a President because we we have a perfectly good monarchy.

And it is Anello and Davide.

Jeez, you get one letter wrong
For heaven’s sake

Now I'm really confused

Get them a tent, that will do fine.
