Oh dear Harry and Meghan

Sorry trisher you're a bit behind.

Why is it "distasteful' to expect the Head of state to say something at a time of national emergency? Because she's Royal? Because she's old? Or simply because some idiots still believe in the divine right of kings?

pretty distasteful posts suz but then...…?

I mean exactly what I said.

What on earth do you mean Brid I know exactly what the role of a constitutional monarch is at a time of national crisis - I rather think it’s you showing no understanding of that

* annie* you know exactly the point I was making - shes got time to send a message about the death of a tin pot ruler but no time to thank her ‘subjects’ at a time of national crisis. She’s a disgrace and a waste of space. What is it about being a royalist that appears to rot the critical faculties?

suziewoozie, you are really showing an astonishing amount of ignorance about a subject you clear have little understanding of.

And here’s another Q whose read the job description

So every death in the country the Queen pops up on tv with
condolences !

There - that didn’t look tt hard to do did it?

Dutch royal family sends special message to health care workers during coronavirus pandemic
By Heather Cichowski

MARCH 18, 2020

The Dutch Royal Family took to social media on March 17 to express their gratitude and support for health care workers and everyone working to keep the Netherlands functioning during the coronavirus pandemic.

A video clip of King Willem-Alexander and Queen Máxima and their three teenage daughters, Princess Amalia, 16, Princess Alexia, 14, and Princess Ariane, 12, was shared on the official Instagram account of the Royal House of the Netherlands, Koninklijk Huis.

The Dutch royals are seen clapping their hands and cymbals on a balcony of the Paleis Huis ten Bosch in The Hague, Netherlands at night. After their thankful applause, Willem-Alexander says a few words in Dutch.

"Applause from King Willem-Alexander, Queen Máxima and Princesses Amalia, Alexia and Ariane to all health care workers, aid workers and everyone who keeps our country running, to support them in their fight against the coronavirus and their commitment to the health of everyone in the Netherlands," the caption, translated from Dutch, reads.

Yawn yawn yawn

Cal you should RTFT I’ve said several times what she should do - it’s you that’s being silly.

If she sent ‘ a message of gratitude’ to the NHS workers or whoever, you would say ‘Fat lot of good that is!’

Like this - send a bloody message of appreciation, thoughts, prayers ,you know what H of S do ( it’s in the job description)

What can she do? What ‘lack of action’? Should she be standing alongside Boris at his daily briefings?

Don’t be so silly SW.

She soon sends messages of condolence when some Middle Eastern king dies

Can some royalist explain why she should NOT send a message to her people?

Nope - the Qs lack of any action is a damn disgrace. She’s the Hof S

Oh pipe down, suzie

What’s do hard for her to send a message that someone will write for her ? FGS - she wants to carry on being Q - she should act like one.

She can social distance ( not self isolate) all she wants AND send a message of gratitude and thanks to her ‘loyal subjects’ who are working their bloody socks off and many risking their own health to help so many. She’s the damn Hof S not an actor in a soap opera. HEAD OF STATE - what is that supposed to mean? Silence at a time of national emergency. What is the point of her?

Kinda harsh suzie, I have respect for the Queen. Yes she is far far too old to be playing any part in National Life. She should have handed over 20 years ago.

Surely at a "time of national crisis" the last thing any of us need to waste energy on is criticising the Queen. I expect that like every other sensible person over 70, she's followed the advice to self isolate. I heard on the news early evening that the BBC has stopped recording EastEnders. The same is happening with other soaps. I don't watch Eastenders or Corrie but I'll miss The Archers, which will probably follow suit. If we're to avoid large gatherings, people in close proximity that will probably include filming and recording studios.

Hahaha Jabber and that from one of the posters who knows absolutely everything about what M and H are thinking, feeling, motivated by. And yes she’s old and past her sell by date - incapable of fulfilling her Hof S role at a time of national crisis.
