It is not given to me to start a threads on politics, I don't believe I have ever contributed to one either.
However I cannot let pass the comment from a conservative councillor currently skiing in the USA who wants the homeless and rough sleepers cleared from the streets of
Windsor before the wedding in May.
God forbid that visitors here to see an obscene and ostentatious picture of wealth and privelage should be confronted by the "have nots" of our society.

Just as long as Brexiteers don't have anything to thank Henry V111 for.

What sort of man, already divorced with 1 child (first wife was Danish!) - has 2 children with a woman (this time a Russian!) first child when she is 38 and second one at 41- born on a train at St Pancras station- so likely to have been traumatic - embarks on an affair almost immediately with a woman half his age. ??? Really bad sad says a lot about him sad

jura2, couldn't agree more, the man is a real heal isn't he.

Jalima1108 Mon 15-Jan-18 19:41:33

Are morals out of fashion these days?

Iam64 Mon 15-Jan-18 19:44:07

Oh my, for an edit button - I mean heel of course

Jalima1108 Mon 15-Jan-18 19:45:52

I would never dream of correcting you wink

I have been suffering from fat fingers lately.

jura2 Mon 15-Jan-18 19:54:13

am a furiner and type fast- can never get used to this site not having an 'edit/correct' function ;)

Anniebach Mon 15-Jan-18 20:35:33

Who was that man ?

lemongrove Mon 15-Jan-18 22:44:36

Henry X111? grin

lemongrove Mon 15-Jan-18 22:45:27

The future King ( a long way in the future)

Jalima1108 Tue 16-Jan-18 17:56:31

He could be Henery XIII Leader of UKIP
- or even Henery XV!

Jalima1108 Tue 16-Jan-18 17:56:39

has he gone yet?

Well it is now the turn of Princess Eugenie to get married. I wonder if the Duchess of York will be spoken to by the D of Edinburgh at the Reception. I am sure the Queen will be perfectly fine.

Jalima1108 Mon 22-Jan-18 17:55:02

Well, at least they can't banish her to a pub up the road!

WilmaKnickersfit Tue 23-Jan-18 01:44:39

I like Eugenie and think she'll make a beautiful bride. She's got a great figure. Fergie is really slim these days, so she'll probably look great as Mother of the bride. Andrew is a bit porky though, but he's got time to do something about it! grin

It looks like Henery wotsit is going to be leader of a party with just two members - the girlfriend and him! shock

Anniebach Tue 23-Jan-18 04:09:56

Sarah lives at Royal Lodge with Andrew, expect she pops into the castle often

eazybee Tue 23-Jan-18 07:37:24

When I heard the news of the engagement I thought how nice, Eugenie can at last escape from her mother.
How wrong can you be.

Anniebach Tue 23-Jan-18 08:32:52

How about - very wrong eazy ?, she has lived there for years , perhaps it explains those hats ?

jura2 Tue 23-Jan-18 08:50:50

Had a giggle learning that they met at our favourite family ski resort, Nendaz ('z' not pronounced Henery!) - in the 4 Valleys next to Verbier.

So where will they get married? And will the homeless be 'cleared away' for that one too?

Anniebach Tue 23-Jan-18 08:52:38

St George's, Windsor

jura2 Tue 23-Jan-18 08:54:22

oh double whammy for Windsor ...

MargaretX Tue 23-Jan-18 10:01:31

Actually there are more couples staying together than statistics suggest. The divorced ones keep getting married and divorced and pushing up the percentages.
Why should the young royals get divorced? They haven't been brought up like the queen's children, but have had loving caring mothers. That's good for forming long relationships

Anniebach Tue 23-Jan-18 10:13:07

That's unfair MargaretX, not one of the younger royals had/have a mother who is Queen

Bridgeit Tue 23-Jan-18 11:19:52

many children brought up by loving caring mothers get divorced.

Iam64 Tue 23-Jan-18 13:31:52

So they do Bridgeit, I'm one of them, brought up by loving caring parents, stay at home mum - everything you could wish for. I married too young and divorce was inevitable.
