Please can someone explain the "13 month pregnancy" post for me?

TIA

Because in this case the wealth is not self-generated - it relies on taxpayers shoring up their lifestyles, and what is inherited hasn’t been made by the family but is the result of previous generations land grabbing and dirt dealings. That extreme wealth gives them a privileged lifestyle that is not afforded to anyone else at a time when there are people living on the streets within spitting distance of their palaces. It’s obscene (to me).

Anniebach Sun 22-Dec-19 13:29:53

Why can so many not see past a person wealth ?

annep1 Sun 22-Dec-19 13:24:45

I still maintain that the Plantagenets should be on the throne!

Why?

Callistemon, am I being dense...thirteen month pregnancy?

Must get ready to deliver pressies and Carol Service. NY resolution. .limit social media!

^George V - 70 when he died
George VI- 58
The queens sister 72. The queens father 57^

All smokers though.

Is wishing someone well fawning ?

Dareyouto Sun 22-Dec-19 13:04:35

Well said but I’m sorry to say I don’t hold the royals in much esteem as it is. Phil is probably still hoping that he comes back as a virus!

Pollyj Sun 22-Dec-19 13:02:38

I agree. No idea why people worship the royals. Maybe just celebrity culture? Why are we, the public, footing the bill for the. Mansion Harry wants to live in? One example. They are all multi millionaires and many of our own children can’t even afford their rent. The duke won’t be lying in a corridor waiting for a bed - why not if our own parents have to? I wish him no personal ill will, but do get tired of the fawning over them.

Pollyj Sun 22-Dec-19 12:58:19

Even then people winced at the offensiveness of his ‘jokes’.

SirChenjin Sun 22-Dec-19 12:48:59

I’m not fussed if you believe it or not Annie, really I’m not.

Anniebach Sun 22-Dec-19 12:44:38

So Edward was gay because someone knows someone who said he was, so not a rumour !

SirChenjin Sun 22-Dec-19 12:41:04

I couldn’t give two hoots about PE and his sexual preferences - I was merely responding to an earlier post so enough with your ‘prejudice’.

Jabberwok Sun 22-Dec-19 12:34:33

FGS, who cares if P.E was or is gay?! Lots of people are! Surely you're not prejudice?!! If he is/was, that's his business and that of his immediate family and certainly nothing to judge him by, or actually to do with anyone else!

inkcog Sun 22-Dec-19 12:32:31

think tha'sel lucky lad, we ad nowt. We so poor we licked the coal and ate the fluff from't mill.

SirChenjin Sun 22-Dec-19 12:26:16

Callistemon you had a pet?? Wr couldn’t afford pets, we had to eat them just to stay alive

SirChenjin Sun 22-Dec-19 12:24:35

How can a rumour be true? Isn’t that obvious?!

Ok - how about, the rumours that were flying about at that time and beyond were not merely rumours. As I said though, a lot of teens experiment so perhaps it was just a phase that’s haunted him ever since - which seems like a very plausible explanation for the rumours to me.

Jabberwok Sun 22-Dec-19 12:15:38

Who had a 13 month pregnancy?!

Anniebach Sun 22-Dec-19 12:13:21

How can rumours be true ?

Callistemon Sun 22-Dec-19 12:11:17

SirChenjin I would have given up my pet wolf for a cave to shelter me from the blizzards.

Callistemon Sun 22-Dec-19 12:09:53

annep I still maintain that the Plantagenets should be on the throne!
There is no such thing as a 13 month pregnancy.
tchgrin

SirChenjin Sun 22-Dec-19 12:04:23

I know someone who was in the same year at Gordonstoun as PE and the rumours were certainly true back then. It might have just been a phase though...

You lived in a room inkcog??? There were 130 of us and we lived in a cave. We foraged for walnuts and dandelion leaves and we washed our clothes in the river (by clothes I mean animal skins and woven grasses). Honestly, you have no idea how lucky you were angry

Anniebach Sun 22-Dec-19 11:57:27

Yes Jabberwok and Prince Edward was gay. Andrew is the son of the queens racing manager. The queen mother conceived with the aid of a turkey baster,

All in public records available to some but not all the public.

annep1 Sun 22-Dec-19 11:54:38

Interesting article!

Or the people his age and younger waiting in hospital beds unable to go home because a care package can't be arranged for them, because there aren't enough carers. Some of them will have to sell their house to pay for care. I don't suppose the RF will be selling anything!!!

Jabberwok Sun 22-Dec-19 11:42:06

Yes, I'm intrigued by that statement Annie! I think in the early days there were hints of wild parties and Rita Hayworth! but since then, no hint of impropriety either here, or in the foreign press where it certainly would have been!! Perhaps HM has had a secret liaison all these years?!! There's a thought, be it all rather unlikely
Prince Phillip WAS before his marriage, a Prince of Greece and Denmark , his origins are German. He gave up his birth title and became a British citizen in 1947, and a Prince of the United Kingdom in 1957. So apart from being rather offensive, calling him Phil the Greek is also inaccurate, as I guess is the long term mistress !
