Poor baby - run home to mummy!

So, not only had Prince Andrew run home to mummy, The Queen has let it be known to the regiment that she wants the Duke of York to remain as colonel, and the feeling is that nobody wants to do anything that could cause upset to the colonel-in-chief.'
What about those who have been hurt by this so far by these allegations...... Diddums - poor Andrew, I wonder if The Queen spoon feeds him his breakfast and wipes his botty for him also!

We get it Grany. You're not a fan of the Royal family. I doubt you're going to change the minds of most of us on here by going on and on about them. But hey ho if it makes you feel better then keep going.smile

Clearly the UK government needs to step in and ensure cooperative between Andrew, the palace and the FBI.

A close relationship? Not for the parents of Harry Dunn.m

BELIZE TO FOLLOW BARBADOS? Well I never.

The Prime Minister of Belize, another Commonwealth member, has hinted strongly at making the transition to a citizen as head of state:

In his closing remarks on the debate on the Governor-General (Conditions of Service) (Amendment) Bill, after briefly discussing the history of the position and its occupiers, he stated, “And who knows what is going to happen in the future, because I think it is high time for us to start to look at the type of government, the system we have.

“We need to find what fits Belize best,” he further stated.

The source notes that fellow Commonwealth members in the region Barbados and Jamaica are making moves towards becoming republics.

Trinidad and Tobago, Guyana and Dominica already have their own heads of state.

US 'puts pressure on Britain to hand over Prince Andrew for questioning over Jeffrey Epstein sex abuse claims'
US reaffirmed the 'close relationship' with UK when it comes to 'legal assistance'
Prosecutors in US view Andrew as a 'person of interest' in Jeffrey Epstein inquiry
The US says investigators have so far been unable to speak to the Duke of York

I bought it for my daughter and it wasn’t all that long ago that I read it. I think I’ll re read it, too. The Queen mum was hilarious.

FannyCornforth Mon 30-Aug-21 11:00:42

Yes, I do MayBee
I adore Sue Townsend. In fact I might reread it. I read the first Mole diary every Christmas. It’s my ultimate comfort book

For heaven’s sake, do you expect him to live in a semi on a rough estate?

Does anyone remember that wonderful book of Sue Townsend’s ‘The Queen and I’?

Extinction Rebellion protesters let off flares as they stand in the fountain at the Queen Victoria Memorial, which they have covered in red paint, during a protest outside Buckingham Palace, London.

'Animal Rebels have dyed the fountains at #BuckinghamPalace blood red to symbolise the royal families crimes against animals and our planet.'
Hi
@RoyalFamily
you could show some leadership on #ClimateChange. E.g: ditch grouse shooting and support replacing it with #rewilding. Holding placards. Hunting A Royal Bloodbath

Meanwhile Andrew Windsor has been hiding for 20 days lawyers trying to serve a writ get turned away by security guards

Well, I’ve just read the whole thread. It certainly brings back memories!
JaneAinsworth was so lovely. You hardly see her around these days. I hope that she’s okay.
And Lucca and Callistemon too. smile
And even the legendary FH makes an appearance. I remember that she tried to take my under her wing shock

Oh well done and thank you seacliff! ?
That thread is so funny!
I’ll really enjoy reading it!

She was right of course!)

Alegrias1 explains her criticism is repetitive because some
questions are repeated .

The questions are certainly not as repetitive as the posts about
the Duchy of Cornwall .

FannyCornforth Mon 30-Aug-21 07:05:57

I recently asked HQ to tell me when I first posted, so I don’t even know how to find out how long I’ve been on here.
I should have asked Alegrias smile

While I had the ear of HQ, I did mention (for the umpteenth time) that the Search Function didn’t work for me and many others.
They sounded genuinely surprised hmm

I hate the stupid title too. I’m on the verge of hiding the thread for that reason alone.

Wow!im seriously impressed Mods.

Thank you for sparing my blushes. A rookie mistake! ?

Yes Lizzie! Oh heck how daft am I?

Fortunately you didn’t say anything too revealing! grin

I’m mortified. I’m out of practice using GN after many weeks away.
My sincere apologies - that was meant to be a p.m. to someone.

I’ve asked for my post to be deleted!

Was that meant to be a PM, Urmstongran?

I dislike the title of this thread , I think the word Mummy is a most beautiful word and mocking the relationship between a
son/ daughter and mother is so wrong.

But it’s the Queen so why not mock.

I called my mother Mammy in my 50’s,
