Probably will get blasted but was sad that Prince Harry and Meghan were not seated together...this was a Service for all family/faiths and religions and Harry and Meghan were not together.

So all of you criticising Megan and Harry for calling their little girl Lilibet know that the Queen wasn't consulted? Oh, I forgot you all have a direct personal communication line to the Queen.

I am glad to see Harry and Meghan and the children arrived here.

When Lilibet’s name was announced Prince Harry said he had spoken to the Queen about it and asked for her permission. The BBC reported that he hadn’t spoken to the Queen about it and Harry threatened to sue them, as he does. Against their usual policy of silence Buckingham Palace confirmed that the BBC report was correct, it was big news at the time, nobody is making it up.

The BBC named a BP "source" as the origin of their information about the name. Of course there are lots of possibilities and how likely is it that any BP source would have details of every conversation H had with QE? Then there is always the likelihood that he talked to her and the 95year old forgot all about it!

Ugh Boris readng at Service..turns my stomach!!

BJ was there as the Prime Minister of the UK, as a representative of us Brits who could not be there , he is an important person in our country like him or not. I thought the whole service was wonderful as was yesterdays Trooping, we do these things so well.

This thread is peak Royal Gransnet.

M&H had a procession – i.e. they walked with another person.

Meghan’s clothes were nice. Meghan was trying to stand out.

It was rude to cheer Boris, that’s rude to the Queen. People booed Boris because he was rude to the Queen. There wasn’t much booing for Boris.

Why did people cheer for M&H after what they did? Disrespect and Brass neck! Obviously they were paid to do that by the PR teams. Anyway, they were booed.

The dreadful Camilla. The lovely Camilla.

Poor Diana. Nasty Diana.

Kept a low profile did they? – misguided attempt at PR.

Have you heard yourselves? ?

Kate1949 you must walk in a small circle if you ve never come across anyone who likes Camilla I don’t hear any bad words about her people were anti at first because of Diana but she’s worked magic and done everything right and is very very good for Charles the queen seems to like her company too
Richmondpark I totally agree with you and I too would have good if I d have been there: it was honest emotion

M&H are Schrödinger's royals, aren't they? At least, on GN they are.

Camilla is not liked by anybody I know either even if they weren't a fan of Diana.

Kate1949 Fri 03-Jun-22 22:27:47

Like I said icanhandthemback nor by anyone I have spoken to about it.

Exactly!

It’s hilarious that I’m not watching any of the royalty stuff but becoming weirdly gripped by the group dynamics on the subject ?

Everyone has a right to their opinion. A bit of tolerance is needed on this, and all subjects.

Who knew that people discussed royals with their "circle" I dont give them a thought unless they are beeing thrust in my face .Then I avoid them.
I do wonder why folk who think they have "personal" wealth ever think where that came from ,wouldn;t be the accumalation of the millions Lizze and her anscestors have taken from the public for centuries?
Anyone ever counted those millions up for the past 70 years ,?
They pay for nothing so its all going offshore ....while kids go hungry .
Maybe being a Royalist is like being a tory ...that makes you a better class as once said by a Gran on here .
The world has gone to hell when ordinary folk think its OK to spend this amount on "celebrations" for an old woman who has lived the life of Riley while kids in the same city go hungry.

So H and M 'snubbed the royal family by not attending the reception after the service? Or so the Mail and Sun would have it. Did it not occur to anyone that they might be hurrying off to see their still very young children?

Anniebach Sat 04-Jun-22 10:48:46

They spent time at the Invictus Games without their still very young children

I would think it was a welcome relief all round!
