More heartbreak for the Queen

If Charles had said he is respectful of all faiths, that would be different, but in defending them and their gods, it is totally against the Christian faith. However, I respect the differences of opinion here, and appreciate we have moved away from the original thread.

I agree with you about that Gilly, it is the preaching from rich celebrities and royals that annoys people. Emma Thompson comes to mind, and of course, Harry and Meghan. I don’t think I’ve heard of any other royals who have ‘preached’ about how we should behave but please correct me if I’m wrong.

Plastic plays a part in our life whether we like it or not .

I have never seen so much of it when my DH was in ICU . All used once and destroyed.

Charles is just as much a hypocrite for his environmental preaching. I read an article just last week about how many flights he has taken recently .

Nothing to do with genetics then? My family have members who regularly live longer than average with one sad exception and so does my OH, except for a few who smoke or drink themselves in to oblivion.

Perhaps we are like Danny Dyer and have blue blood after all!

Charles has stated that he will be the defender of all faiths not just that of the Church of England ie, the Anglican faith. A totally admirable inclusive stance to take and makes him more than suitable to be King. Perhaps he's not a Christian, who knows, but he is certainly a deep thinking man and a man of faith which ever that may be.

I don’t think even the best medical care can prevent the inevitable but what it can do is ensure that treatment is prompt and the best available .

I think it's sad when any marriage breaks up.
I think it's their business and leave them to it. Nothing to do with us.

I thought you weren't allowed to take children away from the country where the other parent lives without consent?

Yes he did Gilly, but was representing the Queen on official visits. One was to someone’s funeral, a king I think, and other official duties. He wasn’t having a jolly. We’d have to have paid for a President to make these visits so it doesn’t make any difference really.

Greta Thunberg takes lots of flights! So do our two runways!

16,000 miles in 11 days and then he dares preach about the environment.

Well, that's another granny who will probably never see even more of her grandchildren again. But, of course, even though a lot of you claim you can relate to that sort of situation, it doesn't matter, in this instance, because it's the Queen, and she's rich, so it doesn't matter. Some of you should be ashamed of your comments.

Any divorce is sad but who cares that it's a royal? They're just people and their break up isn't any different to anybody else's except that they have the money and contacts to effect a smooth transition.

I really don’t think you can compare her maj with most other grandmothers quizqueen .

As I said Gilly, official business.

Quizqueen, you’re right.

Some of the above comments are quite nasty. Of course having enough money makes somethings much easier but the feeling of grief, loss and sadness are the same for all of us. No one knows what goes on behind anyone’s front door. Sometimes you hardly know yourself!
Having money is a great advantage but the price to pay is being watched and criticised in everything you do, your hair, your clothes, your expression, your children - everything, plus really vile remarks on line.
There’s good old saying in the North “you don’t get owt for nowt!”
No one wants sadness in the family.

So its okay if Charles chooses to fly extensively to talk about why we shouldn’t ?

Why can’t the queen be compared to other grandmothers ?

Does having wealth mean you love less ?

I don't know. Whether I like the monarchy or not I always feel that we're better with the devil we know. If we did away with the monarchy something else would take its place, and it wouldn't necessarily be a better something. A President Ttump-alike anyone?

What a disgrace, Charles travelled to Israel with world leaders
to honour the dead of the Holocaust, attended a world conference on climate change , shame on him ?

Of course having wealth doesn’t mean you love less Anniebach I didn’t say that at all . I said she can’t be compared with other grandmothers.

He took the flight to Israel ( from Switzerland ?) after he had taken several other private flights . The article shows the map, the miles and the cost to the tax payer . Hypocrite .

gillybob because she is wealthy? Are all grandmothers the same with the exception of the queen ?

Yes it is sad news..and causes heartache...but this is seemingly ‘normal’ life and no amount of royalty can protect them from it on a personal level. ?

jabberwok Greta Thunberg doesn’t take flights. She travels by rail or boat. Why the need to bring her into this debate anyway other than out of spite?

With respect gillybob read your own link to see why he had
to visit the different countries ,
