Still obsessed with ‘devotion’ trisher , pity you can’t take part in a discussion without mocking

trisher Mon 28-Sept-20 15:14:51

If you want corrupt RF there are the Kents- Prince Michael actually reprimanded for using his title for business ends- very closely linked with Russian oligarchs and some dodgy deals.
Meanwhile Charles is using the Duchy of Cornwall to extend Newquay and provide more housing (that's if you can afford £250000 for a 2 bed house). Laying down the rules of what you can and can't do.(Basically No chavs).
Can't believe that in the 21st century an such an outdated institution still survives, attracts such devotion, and makes so much money.

Anniebach I don't know. Something needs to change but it would need a lot of discussion.

Balmoral and Sandringham should be open to the public. It's all very well saying they are owned by the Queen but she's hardly ever in them.

Sandringham is open for a large part of the year, there are loads of free walks and trails there all year round, it's usually packed! The tiny Church is open too, well worth a look, maybe not over the CHristmas period when the House is in use.
I also believe that parts of the Balmoral estate are freely open, maybe not the house.

Allegedly the privacy obsessed pair confused have agreed to a "fly on the wall" documentary!!! They frequently appear to live a life that contradicts most of what they say they care about.

Is this a documentary about their house moves and interior decorating? Another Escape to/from the château? They certainly should be experts after their renovation projects and decorating at Frogmore House!! grin

TerriBull Mon 28-Sept-20 14:15:46

Oh I've come late to this and see it's already been posted about grin

What/ whom would replace them

annep1 Mon 28-Sept-20 13:46:10

Sometimes GN is just silly.
How can you support a monarchy that lives so lavishly and takes so much of taxpayers money when we have people homeless and using foodbanks? It actually beggars belief. Its morally wrong.

Anniebach Mon 28-Sept-20 13:31:39

Like watching paint dry, she will gaze at him ,he will gaze at her, they will say how they will save the world, he will make
speeches and she will be ready to jump in should he hesitate.

They may sing ‘All You Need Is Love’ and private jets

Lexisgranny Mon 28-Sept-20 12:51:19

As it has been reported that they have full editorial control over any programmes they are associated with, I have my doubts as to whether they will produce anything that does not paint a glowing picture of them and their wokeness.

Jaberwok Mon 28-Sept-20 12:43:25

I'd be interested to know that to Annie, particularly the Queen. Are Prince Edward and his wife corrupt? Princess Anne and family? If so, it's odd the media haven't picked up on it?! The Cambridges? The Kents, the Gloucesters? The York sisters? Can't say I've ever heard of it who knows?!

Anniebach Mon 28-Sept-20 12:30:55

Do list the cases of corruption by each individual in the family
Grany you say the only person dragging the family down is
Andrew yet you say the family are corrupt

Grany Mon 28-Sept-20 11:59:00

mokryna Only person dragging this family low is Andrew wanted for questioning refuses to go. Still Queen gave him a medal when story broke of Epstein Maxwell

They are secretive bunch the Royals above the law unaccountable and corrupt

Anniebach Mon 28-Sept-20 10:26:35

The same Harry who so wanted privacy that he made an
announcement that there would not be an announcement when their baby was born then after the birth contacted the
press and tv companies to come to Windsor so he could make
the announcement of the birth. They didn’t want cameras at
the hospital to take photographs of them with the baby as the rest of his family have done but invited the cameras into Windsor Castle to take photographs of them both with the baby .

Jaberwok Mon 28-Sept-20 09:27:10

Ah well, camera's clicking and lack of (much desired?!!) privacy are easier to bear when you also see dollar signs flashing again and again, and get again!!

Sparklefizz Mon 28-Sept-20 09:20:30

H&M are trying to be the new Kardashians. It's going to be done through Netflix so they must have known about this when they signed up.

I have just heard that there is to be a series ‘fly on the wall’ following them for three months. This is awful dragging his family so low.
I feel very sad for his grandmother not being able to see Archie in person.

Yes, I just read that. So much for Harry's comment that he flinches every time he hears a camera click, and so much for wanting privacy.

Jaberwok Mon 28-Sept-20 08:55:39

I just can't understand Prince Harry. Whatever the perceived ills perpetrated upon his mother by the RF,. surely he's punished them enough, particularly his very elderly grandparents and his over generous father? Her very foolish behaviour that fateful night certainly contributed to her death, something William has accepted, but Harrry simply won't! He may be interested to know that he's not the only child to have lost a parent! Most if.not all, manage to live with it without going on and on years later using it as a weapon to beat others with! or much worse, use it for financial gain! He should be thoroughly ashamed of himself as surely his mother would have been.of him!

I really hope we are gone sooner rather than later Callistemon75% of Scots voted for devolution and Bojo is trying to kill it by the stealth..no budget so funding will go to the Scottish office hub instead of Holyrood ..the Scottish Office is NOT Scottish ,its run by Westminster .Problem is Bojo needs Scottish money and admits it ,91 % of all Oil revenue goes direct to WM as does 3 out of every 4 pound of the @5 Billion revenue from Whisky ..he cant afford to lose it .England has been built on Scottish ,money over the past decades .Sadly people south of the border believe its us who are scroungers !!

Anniebach Sun 27-Sept-20 20:10:09

I think the same Framilode she said herself William use to
put tissues under her bathroom door when he heard her crying . If as she claims Charles was with Camilla from the start of the marriage why did she accuse poor Tiggy of having
an abortion , the result of an affair with Charles, she was
jealous of the boys love for Tiggy. I saw those Boys with Tiggy
fishing, climbing trees, even abseiling over a bridge.

Framilode Sun 27-Sept-20 19:29:34

I think Diana was her own excellent spin doctor and what she spun has come to be accepted as the truth. She was young, but she was also ambitous and wanted to be Princess of Wales. She presented herself to Charles as a woman who shared his interests. This all changed when she was married.
It was a disastrous union for both parties which was never going to work. It seems she took many lovers during the marriage and was certainly not the innocent victim that she portrayed herself to be.
None of her relationships lasted. It seems she was too needy and overwhelming - throw in some hysteria as well.
Obviously she loved her children but a good mother? I'm not sure. She involved her young children in her emotional distress and encouraged them to take sides. Too much for any young child to be involved in.

A two-day flight to Oman cost £210,345. HOW? A first class return from Heathrow is LESS than £4,000. Even if he took 9 staff: 10 x £4,000 is £40,000.

A Scottish Government study of satellite tagged golden eagles found nearly a third were disappearing in highly suspicious circumstances, almost exclusively in areas managed for driven grouse shooting. We ask for regulation on grouse shooting without delay.

Ditch the Royal of RSPB.
The royals are pro hunting, pro landowner, pro grouse shooting - the Toffs Lobby group.

First published by the People on January 17, 1993 under the headline “Charles and Camilla - the tape”, the recordings and transcriptions were shocking for the British public.

Part of the transcript reads:

Prince Charles: “Oh, God. I’ll just live inside your trousers or something. It would be much easier!”
Camilla (laughing): “What are you going to turn into, a pair of knickers? (Both laugh). Oh, you’re going to come back as a pair of knickers.”
Prince Charles: “Or, God forbid, a Tampax. Just my luck! (Laughs)”
Camilla: “You are a complete idiot! (Laughs) Oh, what a wonderful idea.
Prince Charles: “My luck to be chucked down a lavatory and go on and on forever swirling round on the top, never going down.”.......
This can also be heard with our own ears on you tube.

I really fail to see what this has to do with Meghan's political ambitions. grin
