Uh Uh Harry ?

I read about the Queen this morning and IF it is true, why should other people have to sacrifice their families and their Christmas for her and her family not to have their fun spoiled?

Do you mean that article in the Daily Mail?

The one that had "furious" in inverted commas as said by an unspecified "insider".

In other words totally made up but with journalistic devices.

Still if you print it, add oneone will believe it?

Just because we read it doesn't mean we have to believe it, Illte

If it’s true. When the Queen was in Balmoral this summer members of her family visited at different times.

I doubt they are all going to gather in Sandringham as they have always done. Think of the numbers in the immediate family, the Cambridge’s x 5. Anne x 6 or 10, Wessex’s x 4,
Andrew x ?, Charles and Camilla .

^Yes, other people live like this, but we don't fund them. It doesn't matter what happens in other countries.
That is not relevant.^
I think anyone of average intelligence can understand that I am referring simply to funding of RF.

They're probably all punching the air in delight shouting, 'Thank You, Covid, we can have Christmas Day on our own at last!!'

merlot ?

One thing that we have heard frequently over the years is the loyalty that staff have shown to the Queen. Some of those closest to her are of many years standing and HM has shown loyalty to them. Eg the saga of the wedding tiara. Another thing we have been told about over the years is her discretion.

As a result I cannot believe that however disappointed the Queen is that her traditional Christmas arrangements may have to be cancelled and for whatever reason, she would show anger in front of a”source”. This is click bait, on a par with the “heartbreak”, “shock” etc, used every day to report on trivial matters.

Of course the queen is furious. Don't the staff realise what a privilege they are being given?

I don’t think it’s true.

Never let the truth get in the way of a good story?

Would a woman 93 years old and a husband 99 years old
celebrate Christmas with such a large family ?

Set aside she is a mother,grandmother, great grandmother,
she is the Queen, she wouldn’t survive the virus , die and
what then ? No state funeral for heads of the commonwealth,
No Coronation could be arranged for Charles .

I should think that Camilla has basted a few turkeys in her time. Perhaps she can polish up her skills and have another go.

I thought we were always told on GN that we should never believe anything we read in the Daily Mail.

In fact, it's infra dig to even mention it, let alone confess you may have read it!

There are certain things one must not do. ?

Every Christmas Day after Church and lunch Camilla has always left Sandringham to see her children and grandchildren.

But it does make me laugh when somebody posts a link followed by, 'Of course, I never read the DM.'

That’s a little spiky isn’t it? Meow

Meghan has now lost her fight to block claims that she colluded with the authors of Finding Freedom - and/or allowed her friends to.

The book will now feature as evidence in the privacy battle against Associated Newspapers.

Oooops!

* Summerlove* I don't know what spiky means.
But in any case you were unfairly critical of my comment.

I was critical of your comment. Being critical of comments is fair game.

Not your intelligence. Which could be construed as a personal attack.

There is a difference.

But it does make me laugh when somebody posts a link followed by, 'Of course, I never read the DM.'

Oh yes, it's always amusing!
"Just look what I read in this dreadful, rightwing rag! I'm so shocked I can hardly post". Cue to clutch pearls in a dramatic fashion.

Its unfair to criticise without reading the comment properly!!!

Crikey, average intelligence?

Occasionally annepl when another poster explains something in an alternative way it does make all the difference to understanding properly.

"Spiky" means prickly (like a hedgehog), figuratively speaking I would say easily offended.
