Camilla-Queen Consort?

I’m not surprised if Camilla saw straight through Meghan. Camilla has served the crown with great dignity since she married Charles, and she comes across as nobody’s fool. Not so Meghan I’m afraid, in my opinion she has served herself alone, and not with any dignity. And no I don’t know her, but I’ve seen her behaviour, in particular the Oprah interview and that type of behaviour is totally undignified. I cannot imagine going on television and being so rude about my in laws, neither can many of you I imagine.

I think Andrew will escape. Eugene is very pally with Harry, perhaps in order to protect her father against Harrys venom?

It has been reported that Harry will criticise Camilla in his book.

He's hardly likely to be objective I imagine. Understandable to some extent. But I do wonder (only mildly) what he's trying to achieve. He seems to have some 'demon' he needs to exorcise

I'm neither for nor against Harry - and there probably are aspects of royal upbringing / culture that are not always edifying.

The members of the RF are all human beings in spite of their exalted positions, and will in common with the rest of humanity, fail sometimes and make mistakes and wrong choices. To expect anything else is naïve.

And Charles, and his grandparents' parenting, and maybe William, and Kate, and Princess Anne ...... and the dorgies.
No one will be spared!

Oh no, not another tell all book, I assume it's to rival Harry's? "Silently" is definitely a good choice of word!!

Camlilla's title will make no difference at all to my life. I'm sure "Grandma" is the sweetest sound to her ears anyway.

I don’t believe a thing I read in the tabloids. It’s all made up nonsense. Basically they are comics.

just read this on news........

............Meghan Markle, 40, was branded 'that minx' by the Duchess of Cornwall
Camilla 'found it hard to believe' the Duchess of Sussex would 'silently serve'
Royal biographer Tom Bower has claimed the two women never saw eye-to-eye
Added Camilla thought the former actress was 'a self-seeking troublemaker'

It’ll make no difference to my life at all. I hope Charles and Camilla are happy together.

Not a jot she can be queen or duchess or kings partner or Charlie’s wifey or the monarch’s squeeze

We discussed this with my brother, who is divorced and remarried and has quite a high up position in a famous University. He wondered if people on GN are so perfect they can afford to be judgemental of all divorced/ remarried people and in which case he was glad his personal life was not so public. I did point out that this is the RF and GN’s are more opinionated rather than judgemental. He and wife no2 are neither pro nor anti royalist but he asked how much difference it would make to us if Camilla was Queen Consort or not? I had to admit it will make no difference to me. Apart from a chance to judge or pass an opinion, how much difference will her title make to your life?

this was announced by clarence house

Camilla has tested positive for covid now

I don’t have any problem with Prince Charles becoming king in due course. The media being as it is, we know about his affair and Diana’s affairs. Many years ago it would have happened and we wouldn’t have known.
I feel exactly the same about BJ bringing Carrie into number ten when he became Prime Minister. Whatever faults BJ may have, I don’t feel any more judgmental towards him or Prince Charles with regard to living with their girlfriends.
Judge not, lest you be judged.
Stick to complaints about BJ’s performance as a Prime Minister.

Do the same people who are upset at the thought of an adulterer and the woman who was his mistress being king and queen feel the same about our present PM moving his pregnant fiancee, previously mistress, into no 10 I wonder? For the record, I think Camilla has behaved with dignity and discretion and hasn't put a foot wrong since they married.

I feel exactly the same about Boris

Why is First Lady any more twee than queen consort ?
Ah I see because it’s American and therefore unacceptable….

"First Lady" is neutral, really.

But 'Potus' and 'Flotus' always makes me giggle. Not in a derisory way - I have American ancestry.

France and Germany - politicians

Because these are two different jobs. You are political when leading a party but obviously not when you are president you have to abide by the law not to get involved in politics stay neutral and do the job required of you in public office

No one in their right mind would vote for Johnson a second time. But if he did win and got involved in politics he would be removed. As unlike the Royals who do get involved plenty in politics though they shouldn't and can't be removed an elected president could be.

Germanshepherdsmum

Is it any worse than a President’s wife being called the First Lady? A twee title if ever there was one.

Indeed. I'd rather have " King and Queen Consort" than "Potus and Flotus".

Yes he suddenly stopped supporting Labour, he was the Labour
candidate and when he won the presidency he was no longer interested in the Labour Party.

Boris wins the presidency and declares I am no longer a tory

And Michael Higgins ?

What about him?

Michael Higgins resigned from Labour when he became President of Ireland. Like judges you have to be neutral. Politics doesn't come into the job of president unlike the Royals. Michael is well liked and respected.

And Michael Higgins ?

It wouldn't be like an American model. It would be British a constitutional Head of State, a written constitution that school children could read or anyone.

There would be strict rules laws that a president could not interfere in politics (unlike the RF queen's consent changed over 1000 laws before brought to legislation) though RF like to give impression of being above politics.

grany you use to give Michael Higgins as an example of a President, he was a member of the Labour Party and had twice
stood as the Labour candidate at elections . He was the Labour candidate for the presidency.
