Prince Phillip

I wonder what his thoughts are now he is reaching the end of his life, no roots, no parents from a young age, mother in an
asylum, father deserted his family. He went from one extended family member to another, boarding schools then the navy . No contact with his sisters . I think it’s so sad.

I too am sorry he is ill. As I would be for anyone.

Anniebach you haven't answered. I refuse anyway to explain any further. Sirchenjin has done it very concisely. Easy to understand. I'm off to sing now?

Yes Bravo!

I don't think anybody has exhibited a lack of compassion?

Bravo indeed GG!

Bravo GrannyGravy

annepl who are you referring to ? The queens parents ?

There is a 98 year old man in hospital, he is a husband, father, grandfather and great grandfather, I for one have compassion and empathy for anyone poorly.

Yes Jabberwok but how did they acquire their own money.

No Anniebach they aren't responsible but they are profiting from it. Just as eg, slave traders profited.

If I gave you £1000 and you later found out I had acquired it by breaking in and robbing someone would you still feel entitled to keep it?

It's impossible to get through to people. I know we are all entitled to opinions but facts are facts.

Thank you MissA

I doubt she'd care! It's Mary Berry we're talking about, not Mary Whitehouse!

SirCh
That Mary Berry comment has made my day!

I've only just looked in on this thread again. I'm another one wondering about the 13 months pregnancy.

Mary Berry would never tolerate buggery

What? This is madness. Bring back Mary Berry.

Prince Charles has been moving in the right direction despite his family's culture of killing live animals for fun, and regarding foie gras as edible.

Jabberwok

Buggery?! What on Earth are you talking about Annie?!

I implied nothing of the sort Jabberwock but if you prefer to twist my post to fit the story in your head then knock yourself out.

You certainly implied it!

SirChen I really don’t want to shock you but you should know buggery did take place in private schools and childrens
homes , the abusers claimed the abused ‘were begging for it’

I'm still wondering about that phoenix! I'm very interested in history, but that episode seems to have passed me by! All I can think of is Mary 1st and her phantom pregnancy, but she was a Tudor not a Plantagenet as was claimed by the poster (the pregnancy that is!) So I'm not sure!!

Point to where I specifically said that Annie

So the Windsors are responsible for the actions of their ancestors ?

Prince Harry's refurbishments were paid for out of the Queens privy purse, money she was allocated. Only she and Prince Phillip are recipients of the privy purse these days, other royals don't get anything any more. The P of W gets his income from The Dutchy of Cornwall, which also supports both his sons and their families. Other royals pay for themselves or HM supports them if she sees fit as in the case of Prince Harry. The tax payer does not pay for school fees or private health or any personal things unless it's in the interests of the state.
Still waiting to hear about this long term mistress!!!

wealth = OK

nice person= OK

nasty, racist person+ wealth = not OK
